Great product selection overall. Pipe tobacco pricing is on the higher side, while cigar prices are much more reasonable. Unfortunately, my experience during the Monday “Pipe Knights” was uncomfortably awkward. A friend invited me knowing I’m an avid pipe smoker, and based on prior pipe gatherings I’ve attended elsewhere, I made an incorrect assumption about the format. I brought a few of my own pipes and several tins of tobacco to share. That was my mistake. However, this was not done to avoid purchasing from the shop—I fully intended to buy tobacco regardless. It was made clear (indirectly) that this isn’t how the event typically operates and that the expectation is to purchase and smoke shop products on site. That expectation is completely reasonable. What was less reasonable was how this was communicated. Rather than a brief or friendly clarification, the interaction felt tense and unnecessarily uncomfortable. At one point, the owner asked my friend Alex—who was sitting next to me—if “Alex was coming.” We assumed it was a joke and laughed, but it turns out he knows another person with the same first and last name. The misunderstanding seemed to escalate the tension. My reaction wasn’t mockery; it was nervous laughter prompted by the stiff tone and body language of the conversation. The situation became even more uncomfortable when the owner stood over both of us until we made a purchase. I had already planned to buy tobacco, but the hovering made the interaction feel more like pressure than hospitality. Overall, while the shop has strong inventory, I would not recommend going with the intention of relaxing or enjoying the space on-site. The atmosphere during the event felt awkward and unwelcoming, which overshadowed what could have been a positive experience. I purchased Peterson's Nightcap, and a humidor packet and my total came out to $41.00

Updates: Lounge is now members only however they offer accommodations to enjoy their lounge with purchase of cigars. Also, the amount to be a member is very reasonable. Still BYOB and great humidor. I love this lounge. The staff is always so helpful and polite. The humidor is stocked with a wide variety of great sticks to select for your palate. They lounge is byob which is a plus! They sell one of my favorites, King's Cask, exclusively on this side of town. The lounge welcomes the mature crown and I love it!

This is great cigar shop you can buy them and leave or you can buy them and smoke them there I've literally spent days there Great crowd too there's also a daytime crowd so you get to build relationships and talk to the same guys each day if you have the time to spend. This particular cigar is very good smoke full body not harsh it's a little small ring gauge for my taste but I definitely enjoyed it. Also the owners are top-notch people very friendly the staff is friendly very respectful and honorable people

Great place to chill and relax. They have a great selection and friendly people as well. I always come here to buy my cigars, butane and anything else I need. I highly recommend this place and it is very easy to find. They sit right at the railroad tracks on Hulen and Grandbury Road. Stop by when you get the chance and I promise you will feel welcomed there
