The Sikar Cigar Lounge

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  I recently came to Wilmington for business for the week. I was looking around for a place to smoke since it's obviously not very warm in January and came across Sikar. I originally talked to Raj the owner over email before coming in.
  
  The lounge is really nice. They have a liqour license and tons of liqour and some beer/wine to choose from. They were running a deal for a free night's membership (Monday's) and a 10 dollar Rocky Patel/ Stella Artois combo. I had the co-owner, Larry I believe, recommend me a cigar. Let me just say I was impressed. Alot of lounges will seemingly blindly recommend the more expensive cigars but that wasn't an issue. I had two there that night and both were excellent cigars I hadn't tried before.
  
  It's really a great place.
  
  Great selection - I really had no problems finding tons of different cigars I knew I already liked and getting recommended for some new ones.
  
  Great people - Everyone was very friendly (the owners and patrons). I happened to meet someone I'd never met before and ended up talking about this and that over cigars and hookah for a couple hours.
  
  They offer hookah. - They have at least a few hookah's in house and you can smoke right there. It's nice being able to find a place that offer's hookah's as well as cigars.
  
  Great ventilation - This is really a plus. Nothing is worse than smoking indoors and barely being able to see. I love cigars but I don't need to live in the smoke for a few hours.
  
  Comfy atomsphere - Furniture and people made it very nice.
  
  All in all a great place to visit if you live nearby or just happen to be nearby.

  Excellent cigar lounge. The interior is comfortable and clean, often with interesting and relaxing music to add to the atmosphere. Much respect to the Cigar concierge. I only stop in once every other week or so and he remembers enough about what I bought to recommend new types of cigars I'd enjoy. Also, he is excellent at cutting a cigar to get a nice draw. Even with the same brand of cigar one he was able to tell he needed to loosen up while the other just needed a small punch. Both drew perfectly. Been lots of cigar places and haven't experienced such in depth knowledge of tweaking cigars to perfection before.

  Sikar Lounge is a very classy cigar lounge in Trolley Square, Wilmington, DE. It is extremely clean, and the product is fresh. I enjoyed a cigar, watched golf, and Willy was very cordial and helpful to me. If you are a novice (myself), to an aficionado you will enjoy Sykar Lounge. A great get away to enjoy a fine cigar.

  I previously wrote a review of another cigar place where I stated that the only 3 things that really matter are cigar selection, humidification, and price.  It seems I wasn't thinking because I truly forgot how wonderful a cigar lounge can be when it has the right people and the right atmosphere.  This past weekend a business partner and I drove around having some fine cigars and lamenting that we can never actually sit down and enjoy a cigar INSIDE unless the wives are away, we are in Barcelona, or in Boston or Chicago.  In other words, we have to drive around, have the windows down in freezing weather, I have to shift gears while holding a cigar, and all while trying to hold a conversation that gets somewhere.  This is with the understanding that yes, many small cigar shops have a chair and a t.v., where you can smoke, BUT I said ENJOY.  And there are not many places to ENJOY a cigar.
  
  It seems our driving, smoking, talking days are over!  I visited Sikar Lounge this past weekend as the day was drawing to a close and we decided to drive by and take a look, or should I say another look.  We visited this place before when they first opened but it wasn't "there" yet.  Well guess what?  They are "there" now.  And by "there" I mean they have the right selection, the right humidification, the right prices, and lo and behold, a GREAT atmosphere.  Willy is the owner.  A former NYC broker who was brought up around cigars from a young age, his knowledge is quite impressive.  The lounge and what he is building is being done right and I am soooooo happy!
  
  If you like cigars go there.  Their selection is wonderful.  If you like a great atmosphere, go there.  The people are fun and know their stuff.
