Austin's Cigar Scene
Austin's cigar map is compact, but the core destinations are clear: Casa de Montecristo in Davenport Village, Habana House north, south, and Round Rock, The Cigar Vault East, Bobalu on Burnet, Kings on Ben White, and Bolivar downtown.
The current core is cigar-specific rather than filler retail: public cigar lounges, cigar shops with seating, and one downtown private lounge. Check BYOB, private-lounge, and cutting-fee rules before planning the night.
