This bustling rooftop doesn’t seem like an obvious place to have a cigar in Santa Monica, but it’s one of the few outdoor bars that allow smoking on the Westside. Pick up a cigar at Lone Wolf down the street and take a stroll over to this hip rooftop. Good luck finding a seat on a busy weekend evening.

Going almost 20 years strong, this classic man cave in Beverly Hills is the quintessential cigar lounge in Los Angeles. Clubby without pretension, the owner Rigo pairs stogies with a terrific selection of single malt scotch and other liquor. Open late every night, though hours can end earlier on weekdays. Try a dram of Pyrat XO with a mellow, but expertly constructed Arturo Fuente cigar. It’s probably best to purchase a cigar on-site instead of bringing your own.

Probably LA’s most upscale cigar lounge and bar, this hidden cocktail bar inside the Maybourne hotel is a relaunch of the former Ten Pound. Fans of Ten Pound will see much of the same formula, except that the cigar selection is exponentially better. Curated by the team at local cigar lounge V Cut, the cigar options are amongst the best in town, though at eye-watering prices. The cocktail, food, and spirits menu are also top-tier and priced accordingly. Just be sure to make a reservation.

This Black-owned Inglewood cigar shop and haberdashery has some cool secrets up its sleeve. Step inside and there’s a huge humidor filled with excellent cigar choices, while a small fitting room offers custom suits to the side. Anyone who spends a minimum amount on cigars is welcome to enjoy the lounge and cocktail bar for the day (though there are also monthly membership options). In the back member’s only area, skilled bartenders make terrific shaken drinks like a play on a Gold Rush with Angel’s Envy bourbon. There are plush leather lounge chairs and sofas with a few televisions playing sports. This is easily one of the best places to escape the bustle of the city and enjoy a quality drink with a cigar.

This Black-owned neighborhood bar and jazz club is one of the few places in Los Angeles that allows some low-key cigar enjoyment on the outdoor patio. That makes it an ideal place to stop in for dinner, enjoy salmon croquettes or a churrasco steak, and then settle in with a whiskey cocktail. They don’t sell their own cigars, but you could easily pick up a stick at Black-owned cigar shop Debonair up the street on La Brea. Smokers are welcome to enjoy the stogies outside.

A member’s only club, it’s not actually too difficult to gain access to Caña. Simply pay the annual fee and hang out in this dark cocktail den. Sadly the comfortable seating has been removed from the back patio, but it’s still a decent place to smoke a cigar and sip on a well-shaked daiquiri. They sell cigars here and even recently created their own house brand, but will accept anyone who brings their own as well.

A newcomer to the outdoor smoking scene, Glen Arden has the feeling of an East Coast university club right in Glendale, with cocktails and spirits available in the Derby Room. Cigar fans will have to enjoy their sticks on the adjacent outdoor patio, though on weekends, smokers can also go to the back Lounge area which is more of a semi-covered space to enjoy. In between, there’s New Haven-style pizzeria Ozzy’s in case you get a little peckish.

Bar Jackalope could be the single best place to enjoy cigars and whiskey in Los Angeles. Sporting a wonderful secret speakeasy feel, one of the city’s most extensive brown liquor lists, and a small set of solid cigars, Bar Jackalope feels like a high-end Japanese bar with all the service to match. Feel free to bring your own cigars too. Reservations, which can be made on the website, are required
