Cabana Cigar Lounge

Unlike some of her contemporaries, Brenda’s joint is squarely in the cigar lounge Goldilocks Zone:
* Decent humidor
* Fair Prices
* Nice atmosphere & clientele
* Good AC & ventilation
Thoroughly recommend.

My buddy and I have been trying different cigar shops around LA, and this is by far THE BEST CIGAR LOUNGE. Brenda the owner is very sweet with incredible hospitality, I felt like I was being served @ at Fine dining restaurant. That’s how incredible this place is. Inside there are 2 big screen TV ‘s where you watch the UFC fight, football, anything you like. The people that are customers are also friendly. I recommend this place highly!

This is a great place to enjoy a cigar. Brenda, the owner, is very personable and makes your visit comfortable. It has become my go to spot here in the Valley. The Humidor has a fair selection of sticks to choose from. Big screen tv’s are available for you to watch whatever you like. Friendly card games are always going. Give it a try.

This place is a unique cigar lounge, been a regular here for a while. Brenda the host treats you like your at home. She’s made appetizers and desserts and coffees for us and refuses to take any money for it. There’s a good selection of cigars and the lounge has card tables and television, a very good place to hang out.

My friends loves cigars and I was going to his birthday party in Encino area. I searched Unilocal for cigar shops and found this place. I’m glad I did. The owner I believe her name is Brenda is a sweetheart. Gave me different options and helped pick a nice gift for my friend. She even went an extra mile and wrapped it knowing it was a gift. Great service. Thanks.

This place is just a Gold Mine! Brenda is the best. i am a forever customer.

Awesome place very laid back almost homey atmosphere to it. Owner is very friendly and will offer you something to drink if you’re staying. Couches are comfy and there’s large flat screen tv’s if you want to watch a game or something. Definitely a go to place if you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a cigar

This place is the best! Brenda loves her customers and loves to take care of them. She picks great cigars too! The atmosphere is totally laid back and casual. There are very comfortable couches and several TVs to watch whatever sports are on that night.
All in all a great place to spend an evening if you enjoy cigars.

Great lounge, Great staff

Cool place to chill with friends and have a cigar. Brenda gives great service and picked a great cigar for me. I really enjoyed it!

Love this place, great smokes, generous and very sweet owner!

I had not a clue, about anything that was cigars and for some reason I really wanted to try one. (I’m not a smoker)
So, I did some Unilocaling and found Cabana. They are nice, patient and knowledgeable (as far as I know).
Truly a great experience. They showed me how to smoke, find my desired flavor and were just, great to me.
This rating they have and I gave of five star is completely correct!

The best cigar lounge in the valley. Its open until 1030pm on most nights and they offer a great range if cigars at a good price

Thanks Brenda for the great service!

This lounge ROCKS!!! Brenda is so awesome!!! The customers are nice!!! The humidor is nicely stocked and they have great prices.
Did I mention that Brenda likes to keep you fed and full of beverages… :-)
This is a must if you are in Encino.

This is hands down the BEST cigar lounge in Southern California. Brenda is a wonderful, warm person who always has a smile on her face. Chris always greets us like he is happy to see us. This place is extremely clean, neat and does not smell at all. The humidor is well stocked and there are plenty of places to sit and relax. The customers are also very friendly.

Cabana Cigar Lounge brilliantly represents the way a cigar lounge should be. I strongly believe that Cabana sets the standard on the cigar lounge. I feel like I have spent my entire cigar-​loving life looking for this place. Here’s why:
The staff/​owners literally could not be more welcoming, no matter who you are. They treat their new customers in off the street with as much kindness and thoughtfulness as they do their loyal customers. They will recommend a cigar if you want help, but also will not push you to spend top dollar if you’re on a tighter budget. After buying your cigar, they will offer you a drink: water, soda, tea, coffee, etc. They also check up on you consistently, to see if they can better accommodate you. They are, in my opinion, model business owners and operators, especially when it comes to customer care. But the best part is, their customer care is very organic, genuine, «ma & pa», neighborly, etc. Going to Cabana feels like going over to a close friend’s home for a cigar. Extremely welcoming.
Regarding the welcoming aspect mentioned above, cigar lovers are well aware of how uncommon this is in the business. Cigar «lounges» (typically just cigar stores with a few couches inside and an unfriendly dude behind the counter) are notoriously segregated: you have your locals who want the whole place to themselves, and you have the buyers who run in, get what they need, and run out, all under the watchful, territorial eye of the locals. 9 out of 10 cigar «lounges» are like this. They are basically pseudo-​exclusive boy’s clubs for people who pretend like they have a lot of money, mob ties, or both. These «locals» are notoriously unwelcoming to any outsiders. Too many times I’ve walked into a cigar lounge filled with «locals” — they stop their conversation and basically stare at you uncomfortably until you leave.
Cabana Cigar Lounge is the OPPOSITE of this. Every time I’ve been there the clientele do not even remotely fit the bill of your stereotypical cigar lounge lizard. Just regular guys and girls who fancy a cigar. And whether or not you know the difference between a Connecticut and a Cameroon wrapper, a lonsdale and a robusto, or a Backwoods and a Gurkha «His Majesty’s Reserve» you’ll be treated with respect and kindness.
The humidor has plenty of selections, including a very quality «house» cigar wrapped in wax paper for $ 5 – 6. They have many super-​premium cigars too. They have enough seating for probably 30 – 40 people, many of which are plush brown leather sofas, recliners, even some tables to sit and play poker at. They have several flat screen TVs displaying whatever sporting event is on at the time. The atmosphere is dimly lit but not so much that you cannot see. The amount of light in the lounge is perfect.
The most recent cigar I enjoyed at Cabana was a Brick House, recommended to me by Chris. Best cigar I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it. It was a cigar that would’ve been wasted smoked outdoors, where the wind would have blown the unbelievably aromatic smoke away from my nose. A good cigar should always be smoked inside. In my opinion, the cigar experience is 50% taste, 50% aroma, and on a day with even the slightest amount of wind the aroma portion of the experience is wasted. Enjoy fine cigars indoors! Enjoy them at Cabana Cigar Lounge!
Cabana has won my business. They deserve it. And if any of you cigar lounge-​lizards out there are looking for a new place to turn into your own private boy’s club, please stay far away from this place! Cabana Cigar Lounge needs to stay the friendly, welcoming place that it has been since the day I started coming here. This place is an absolute GEM, and I hope it stays that way. I wish I owned a place like this.

This place is a gold mine! Cigar shop owners need to come visit this place just to see the face of what’s going to run them out of business! I’ve been to quite a few place but NONE of them are like this. The owners wife, Brenda, runs the place and she runs it like her own home.
Unlike other cigar places you won’t get the owner complaining about life issues with you. Brenda is all about service with a smile and greatly serves you like a king/​Queen. Each and every person is seen as a guest, not as a customer. Everyone is treated equally no matter if you grab a $ 5 cigar or a $ 40 cigar. Because of this level of service this location has drawn a great crowed, no wannabe tough guys here. We gather here to relax, smoke, and chat.
The location is great with ample parking in the back. The furniture is comfortable with some of the seats reclinable.
Prices are on par with all of the other shops. But lets face it if you’re looking to get a deal on cigars order them online. If you want a place that’s comfortable, CLEAN, and service that will rival ANY 5 star location come here. I would be so bold to say that if you want to study customer service, come here, grab a cigar and sit in the corner and take notes.
Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention… This place has a HUGE selection of GOD of Fire cigars!!!

A very classy cigar lounge that is exactly that, a cigar lounge. A great get away for an hour or so or just pick up some good stoggies to go. We offer a very good selection of cigars from Gran Habano to Estaban Carreras. We also carry accessories-​lighters, cutters, humidifiers and much more… come in and see the cigar lounge you have been dreaming about!

The service is awesome! Brenda doesnt take no as an answer when she offers you a beverage! great selection of cigars! Beautiful lounge. its relaxing and has a friendly atmosphere.
