Hudson Bar & Books - New York

Meh... The waitress could only produce one broken lighter. No matches. They also said we could not just smoke, had to buy at least two drinks. Not terrible, but not really my idea of a good time.

Great place to just relax with a good drink and smoke a cigar in NYC

Forgive the hugely inflated prices and the fact that they insist on cutting and lighting the cigars for you instead of letting you do it yourself. It’s a little cramped here but the vibe really is like no place else I’ve been to in New York City. definitely recommend if you’re into cigars and cigar culture. If not, I would avoid it because it’s very small and you’ll be breathing tobacco air the whole time.

This is the real deal- The service, atmosphere and vibe are all great. On a cool Autumn night or a frosty winter evening, you'll want to stop in for a smoke, a drink of any kind and even James Bond films on the play loop.

Comfortable and unpretentious cigar bar with a decent food menu and some great cocktails. The room is small and somewhat narrow, but there is a great patio outside for the warmer weather. Most of the folks there were couples, but they were two or three solo guys like myself just there to unwind with a cigar and a glass of whiskey. The selection of cigars is not very broad especially when considering the Maduro styles or the larger ring sizes, theirs top out at 60, but you can bring your own and there is a modest cutting fee of $12. This will probably be my go-to cigar bar now that Mike the Greek has left Soho, and the vibe there has changed so dramatically.
