Stogeez Cigar Lounge

Stogeez is a pretty nice little cigar lounge in one of the more lively spots in Sioux Falls. They have a pretty limited selection in their humidor, however the cigar I had there was quite fresh.

They also server drinks but have a pretty limited selection. The inside furnishing is comfortable and the wood interior adds a nice atmosphere for enjoying a "stogie". Also, there are two tables outside you can sit at. All and all a great place to visit in Sioux Falls if you're a cigar lover.

I went to Stogeez on a date with a friend of mine from the area. She knows I'm a Brother of the Leaf (cigar smoker) so she suggested we check out this place. First, we went to the wrong place actually. Stogeez operates two establishments. One is a non smoking lounge with outdoor seating while the other down the block is a dedicated cigar lounge. Staff at both places were very friendly and very attentive. The liquor selection was excellent. Both had many premium scotches and bourbons. The seating in the cigar bar consisted of rather comfortable leather chairs and couches around low coffee tables. I found  the atmosphere to be relaxed and classy if not somewhat intimate.
     When we went there it was a Saturday night, so the place was pretty busy. It is a rather small establishment so my date and I actually shared a table with some other gentlemen for a little while who ended up being quite friendly.
     Stogeez has a cabinet humidor which is reasonably well stocked. I thought it to be a bit small at first.  In my city, all cigar bars are required to have full walk-in humidors, so I was a little surprised by this. However the humidor contained a first-rate, albeit small by my standards, selection of premium cigars that spanned most price points. I selected a Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature which was excellent. Judging from my cigar, the humidor is well maintained in both humidity and temperature. For my drink I ordered a Makers Mark 46 neat, of which I received a healthy pour at a reasonable price.
     I noticed that there was only one bartender working that night but he managed to keep the service fast and friendly. I was surprised that he was actually able to make the rounds occasionally and see if anyone needed anything. I was somewhat impressed.
     I'm told that Stogeez is the only cigar bar in Sioux Falls. Usually when an establishment is the only game in town it's not a particularly good thing. However, in the case of Sioux Falls, Stogeez is a fine  addition to the nightlife in the area.

Outdoor seating with live music and indoor seating with super comfy couches and chairs.
Everything was lovely except there was only one bathroom and they allow indoor smoking.
