Renegade Cigars

I was supposed to go to a different cigar place with a friend of mine but he ended up flaking (I know what you’re thinking, «what a douche.») So, I ended up asking my best friend to smoke cigars with me at the last minute and he said yes! I tried looking for a place that was between where we were both located and Renegade Cigars had high ratings and was right in between us.
This place wasn’t a disappointment. This wasn’t the best cigar place I’ve been to, but this is the first cigar place I’ve been to that was a great learning experience. At first I thought we walked in and there were people judging us because we were fairly new to smoking cigars. I’ve only smoked a few times and my best friend smoked about twice before coming here. The person behind the counter was fairly helpful. He taught me different types of cigars, the flavors, where they’re from, how long they last, how to cut, and how to light it up properly. He was very helpful and had great customer service.
We ended up smoking outside for a bit but then came in because it got cold and he ended up coming by to switch our ash tray. Like I said, great customer service. I’m glad we came here. I’m glad that we had someone to teach us and to treat us as adults and not naïve children. I will definitely be back.

We go to cigar lounges everywhere, and this is the most chill, comfortable, and well-​ventilated so far. Good selection and pricing, handy bar, and an event calendar available via text updates. Will return.

I travel to Richardson on business allot. A co-​worker and I visited Renegades for the first time. Little Tony met us at the door and after describing what I like in a cigar, he made an outstanding recommendation.
Note, it is BYOB… We went next door to a restaurant and purchased a bottle of wine and enjoyed the company of others for a couple of hours. I definitely recommend.
Only downside… I visit allot of cigar bars across the country. Most have very good ventilation or scrubbers to reduce the lingering smoke. Renegades had about 15 people and the lingering smoke was getting thick. They really need to turn the air more.

Awesome spot to smoke a cigar. Very knowledgeable owner and very airy with high ceilings so you don’t feel like you’re suffocating on smoke. This place will be my go to place when I come back to Richardson.

A buddy and I were in town for the weekend and he had heard about Renegade from a family member. We walked in to try it out and immediately noticed the nice seating arrangements and the awesome humidifier they had. Brandon, the store owner, showed us some recommendations based on our preferences and my friend and I were more than pleased with his recs.
We grabbed some beers from the restaurant next door to bring over since it was BYOB and got a spot on the couch to watch the NBA playoffs. We didn’t know how long we expected to stay, but the atmosphere and cigars were excellent and we ended up staying several hours.
We got a chance to talk to Brandon about his journey and business and he was a great guy that knew his stuff. If you’re in the DFW area and love cigars, you need to try out Renegade.

Nice cigars but make sure YOU are the right complexion. Staff needs customer service training.

Great place. It’s BYOB so you can bring your favorite scotch, and they have a great spot for a poker game with the guys. The staff is top notch.

I had heard this place was nice, but the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful to the point of almost being rude. This was all before Brandon Hayes took over. I am in a few cigar groups on Facebook and mentioned that I had heard some less than flattering things about Renegade other than the niceness of the place. Brandon did not confront me on Facebook about what I had heard, instead, he sent me a private message and explained that he had recently taken over the place, and asked that I come out some time and see him. He asked me to ask for him when I stopped in so that he could show me around. My father and I both enjoy a nice cigar and whiskey, so one night after having dinner in the area, we decided to stop into Renegade and check the place out. Let me say this first, I am glad I did. We were greeted the instant we walked in by two very friendly people who worked there. They asked if this was our first time in, and asked if they could help us. I explained that Brandon has asked me to come in and check out the place from a message on Facebook, and he told me that Brandon was there and he would go get him. Brandon came over and introduced himself and gave us a tour of the shop, showed us the lockers, the lounge, the bar and the walk in humidor. He spent at least twenty minutes with us just in the humidor asking us about brands and sticks we each licked, and then made multiple suggestions on alternatives to try in case we had never had them. I always like to buy something I like, and something new to try when I go to a B&M cigar shop. We made our purchases and found a place to light up. The friendly staff offered to cut our sticks for us, but I like to punch, so we told them we had that handled. They asked if we needed any mixers for drinks as they saw we had a bottle with us. We had some coke so they got us some cups and ice.
I wish I could remember the other gentleman’s name who assisted us, as he took great care of us. Made sure we had what we needed. He explained their locker and VIP programs for us. We asked him about some brands that they did nor carry, and he explained that they were in the process of getting the brands that they wanted to carry back in stock and were working with their vendors to get the stock back to what they wanted, but that the previous régime had alienated some of the reps so they did not have everything stocked.
The whole experience was great. I honestly don’t really feel like they treated me any different than they would anyone who stopped in. These guys are all about customer service. They get it for sure. I am looking forward to attending events here in the future. Next time you need a place to burn a nice stick, do yourself a favor, and grab a bottle and fellow brother of the leaf and stop by and let the guys at Renegade take great care of you!

So I used to come here back in 2012 and was not impressed. However, under the new owners I show up every Friday for cigar Happy Hour. They have a great selection of cigars, very friendly owners along with Lockers and a VIP club. If you are in this area and like premium cigars then this is the place to stop in!

This is my «Home away from home» now, and I’ve even rented a locker. It’s a great deal. The place is very comfortable with many large leather recliners, TVs, a fireplace, a bar that’s BYOB and very friendly staff. I love to unwind at the end of the day by enjoying a quality cigar with friendly people.

i’m a fan! and jon is pretty awesome too. :)

My new favorite cigar lounge in DFW! Seriously, this place was not that welcoming on my previous visit. I’d heard that there was new ownership and thought I could give it another try. Much better! Staff was friendly and decent sized crowd of patrons were sociable and welcoming to a non-​regular. Lounge is big and comfortable, BYOB aided by a service bar, several large TV’s, great background music, wi-fi…pretty much everything one needs in a cigar lounge.
Prices compare favorably. A better selection would’ve garnered 5 stars, but the guy working says they are really focusing on that and asked to give them a bit of time. There were plenty of great selections, it could just be better.
Several choices on North side of DFW, but this is where I’ll land when in the area from now on.

I REALLY like this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they have a wide selection of cigars to choose from. I love Gurkha and they had the Cellar Reserve Cracken. I enjoyed the stogie and definitely enjoyed the atmosphere. I love this place, the only knock I have is that they don’t have a bar, but they will let you bring drinks from the bar next door. I don’t get out here often. But it’s always a treat! I definitely will be back

No change in the «star» rating, but since my original post last year I’ve visited most of the cigar stores in the area. From north dallas, to addison, east/​west plano, and other parts of richardson. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. BUT Renegade is bar-​none the most comfortable. Every chair is a recliner. I didn’t appreciate that until I experienced all the others. Plus a comfortable place to work, stable wifi signal.

I’ve gone there several times and each time I have found the atmosphere relaxing and the people very friendly. I buy alot of my cigars from various places, but everytime I’m there I have to support this place. I would say «Give Them Another Shot».

Best service around. Owners are so nice. Great inventory. cool place.

Great lounge, really meets the need for those who want a nice comfortable place to enjoy a cigar. The humidor has a very solid selection to meet all taste, and the pricing is slightly better than others in the surrounding area. Staff is knowledgeable and attentive.
Also Unilocal data is inaccurate this lounge is open.

I wanted to like this place, but the owner is way too pushy, impatient, and to top it all off, disrespectful. Sure they have a decent selection of stogies to choose from, but I’ve never felt so unwelcome at a lounge before. Well here’s one customer they wont have to worry about anymore. Screw you guys, I’m going to Two Brothers!
