Minneapolis's Cigar Scene
Minneapolis cigar options are really a Twin Cities metro guide: one in-city cigar lounge, several strong suburban tobacconist lounges, a St. Paul staple, and a few cigar-friendly social or restaurant settings. Minnesota rules mean many cigar lounges do not sell alcohol, and some venues operate as private clubs, mixed hookah lounges, or cigar-sampling lounges rather than open cigar bars.
Use Anthony's for an in-city smoke, Stogies on Grand for St. Paul, and Tobacco Grove, Cigar Jones, BURN, Perfect Ash, and PurpleRose for suburban shop-and-lounge visits. The Hadden is a private BYO club, while Camden Social is a restaurant and cocktail bar with an Allure Cigars menu rather than a dedicated cigar lounge.

Cigar Lounges (8)
These establishments feature dedicated smoking lounges where you can relax and enjoy your cigars in comfortable, well-ventilated spaces.
Anthony's Pipe & Cigar Lounge
Uptown tobacconist and cigar lounge on Lake Street. Anthony's has indoor cigar sampling/lounge history, cigars, pipe tobacco, TVs, and regular seating; current Minneapolis rules can limit cigar smoking time, so confirm the current sampling policy before planning a long session.
Stogies On Grand
St. Paul cigar shop and lounge on Grand Avenue with three lounge areas, a patio, Davidoff Appointed Merchant status, and Diamond Crown Lounge recognition. It is a shop-and-lounge stop rather than a cocktail bar.
Tobacco Grove
Maple Grove tobacconist with a listed 420 sq. ft. walk-in humidor and an on-site lounge. Tobacco Grove is a retail-first cigar destination with accessories, events, and regular daytime/evening hours.
Cigar Jones
Wayzata cigar shop celebrating 30 years with two walk-in humidors, house blends, and a full-service lounge. The shop is a suburban retail lounge, not a bar.
BURN Premium Cigar
Burnsville cigar shop and lounge with indoor and outdoor seating, three large TVs, a walk-in humidor, soda and non-alcoholic beverages, and Espinosa-focused selections. Alcohol is not part of the standard offering.
Perfect Ash
Inver Grove Heights cigar and pipe tobacconist with a smoke-friendly shop/lounge format, regular daytime-to-late hours, and a premium humidor. It is a tobacco-shop lounge, not a cocktail bar.
PurpleRose Cigar & Hookah Lounge
Crystal mixed cigar-and-hookah lounge with premium cigar positioning, evening service hours, and a social smoking format. Use it for a lounge night that includes hookah alongside cigars, not as a traditional tobacconist-only shop.
The Hadden
Private social club at the former Hemingway Social address. The Hadden states that it does not sell cigars or alcohol; cigar use is bring-your-own, with lockers available for members and BYO beverages allowed.
Cigar Shops (1)
Excellent cigar selections without dedicated lounges. Perfect for picking up premium cigars to enjoy elsewhere.
The Camden Social
North Minneapolis restaurant and cocktail bar with a dedicated Allure Cigars menu. Treat it as a cigar-friendly restaurant/social venue rather than a tobacconist or indoor cigar lounge; confirm patio or event smoking rules when reserving.
Minneapolis Cigar Tips
Best Times to Visit
Weekday afternoons are good for retail lounges with humidors. Weekend nights are busier at suburban lounges and cigar-friendly restaurants. In Minnesota, confirm whether the venue allows only cigars purchased on-site, whether alcohol is available, and whether smoking is indoor, patio-only, or private-club access.
Neighborhoods to Explore
Uptown has Anthony's on Lake Street. Grand Avenue in St. Paul has Stogies on Grand. Maple Grove, Wayzata, Burnsville, Crystal, and Inver Grove Heights cover the main suburban tobacconist or mixed smoking lounges. Loring Park and Camden add cigar-friendly social venues.
What to Try
Visit Tobacco Grove for its 420 sq. ft. walk-in humidor. Use Stogies on Grand, Cigar Jones, BURN, or Perfect Ash for shop-and-lounge sessions. Treat PurpleRose as a mixed cigar-and-hookah lounge, The Hadden as a private BYO club, and Camden Social as a restaurant with an Allure Cigars menu and smoking rules to confirm before reserving.
