I recently discovered Castro's Cigar Lounge and was immediately intrigued as I'm always on the lookout for a relaxing spot to enjoy a good cigar.A coworker and I decided to visit on our day off, arriving right at 11 AM. From the moment we stepped inside, I was taken with the atmosphere - dimly lit, with music set at just the right volume. Conversations at a normal volume are possible! We headed straight to the humidor, which had a solid selection of cigars, many of which I'm familiar with and regularly stock at home. Ikova, one of the staff, checked in on us to see if we needed any help.After selecting our cigars, we headed to the register to open a tab. I ordered my drink, and Ikova mentioned we could sit anywhere we liked, promising to bring our drinks out to us.We settled into a couple of comfortable lounge chairs. The place has plenty of seating and flat-screen TVs on nearly every wall. Ikova promptly delivered our drinks and was impressively attentive throughout our visit. As a regular at Fox Cigar Bar in Gilbert, I couldn't help but wish they offered the same level of service.I had read about Castro's $10 cut and light fee before visiting. While I didn't notice any signage about it - and I wasn't bringing my own cigars just in case. I understand the reasoning behind the fee, even if it's not something I've encountered before. While I'm not thrilled about the restriction on smoking my own cigars while still paying for drinks, they offer cigars I enjoy, so it's not a deal-breaker.Overall, I had a great time here. Ikova and the inviting atmosphere are the real highlights of this place.

This is a Great Cigar Lounge in Ahwatukee. I have only been there on Thursdays, but it is always a good time. Cord the Tobacconist is always there to greet you and see if you need any suggestions for a cigar. The Walk-in Humidor has a great selection of modestly priced to high end Cigars. The indoor lounge and bar area are nicely laid out and Ryan has been our Cocktail Waitress several times she always takes great care of us. The Bartender Adam makes a great Old Fashioned. There are tons of large TV's with sports on it's a great place to watch some Sports Ball. I have not sat out on the patio yet, but it is a nice sized spot with tons of misters, and you could feel the cool as we walked up to the entrance last night. Super close to Tempe with easy access from all parts of the Valley. Long story short I love this place.

Very enjoyable atmosphere and great, friendly service. They have a lot of nice options for seating with nice chairs, very clean. The humidor is well stocked with plenty of options of fantastic smokes.

Absolutely love this new spot! Adam the bartender is amazing! We had such a great time. The place was crazy busy with the UFC fight but eased up after it ended. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Great new addition to the Ahwatukee community. Cocktails, spirits, and a great selection of cigars.Adam is behind the bar slinging deliciously hand crafted cocktails. I was served a perfectly balanced old fashioned. This place will definitely compete with the likes of Fox cigar bars. Staff is knowledgeable in cigars and drinks. Please be aware there will be $10 cut&light fee if you bring your own sticks. Ask about the $20 cigar & old fashioned! Tell them Arizona Aaron sent you! I will definitely be back to try the stick selection.10/10 for this new spot!! Keep up the great service & keep the humidor stocked with quality sticks. I look forward to stopping back in soon.

The positives:The lounge itself is beautiful. The drinks are fantastic. The cigar selection is above average. The staff is friendly and well informed. The negatives:The music is distracting and loud. The sports on the television has completely changed the tenor of the lounge. It's too loud and annoying, Philly's Sports Bar is right next door and is the appropriate venue for people yelling at the screens. It's not a good fit for a cigar lounge designed for relaxing and having conversations.

I found this place in Yelp and wanted to give it a try. My wife and I stopped in and the cashier immediately greeted us with a smile and welcomed us into the humidor. Nice selection of cigars, I grabbed a Southern Draw Cedrus and MyFather Le Bijou my wife grabbed a Drew Estate Leather Rose. As we sat down the bartender grabbed our drink order and we sat down to watch the Diamondbacks. The servers have been around a lot and our ash trays are kept clean. This is a great spot to meet people and have a good drink and cigar.
