Excellent atmosphere. Nice underground speakeasy. Great vibes. Ambient. Real fun time with a group. Damn good cigar menu with friendly and informative/helper servers. Pretty solid liquor list. Great place to spend hours with friends and fellow cigar lovers.

This place have some pretty good cocktails as well as a huge selection of hard liquor. I loved the Old Fashioned with Basil Dark Rye.They also have some cigars with fair prices. But if you bring your own, there is a $15 cutting fee.The seating is first come first serve even though theres a hostess keeping track of the seating. And the staff seems short but they try to provide the best service they can.And the ambience is a dark speakeasy like place but it is definitely loud from all the people talking! Overall, its a great cigar bar and I recommend it.

Right after that pandemic ended and the city of Boston re opened its doors to its nightlife I stumbled upon this incredible hidden little gem in the North End of the city. Stanza dei Sigari not only opens a door to a speakeasy vibe lost in the roaring 20s but offers a great selection of sprits, exemplary melodies from the era, and cigars that fill the atmosphere with a flavorful spiced essence. This place is a definite must when in the area and are looking to relax and sit back. Thank me later!

Great cigar selection and great bar. Service was some of the best of our time in Boston. If you are a cigar aficionado youre missing out if you dont check this place out!

This place was very unique! We actually went to Boston to go to the speakeasy part of the cigar bar, but due to staffing and such is was closed. That didnt stop us though from enjoying this place! The server we had was very nice and very patient, especially since none of us smoked cigars, her recommendations were spot on!Not only was the service great, the whiskey selection was phenomenal! Never thought Id enjoy sipping on a scotch and puffing on a cigar, but this place made is happen.Also they have a great air filtration system, so it wasnt overly smokey in there which was an added bonus!10/10 will be going back soon!

If you really want a cigar in downtown Boston, give Stanza Dei Sigari a look. Located in an old building in the Little Italy district of Boston, this place oozes history and character.However, their incredibly high prices and limited selection make Stanza a place you should go only if you are in a pinch

This place is one of a kind. The atmosphere feels like you have been transported back to a perfectly preserved speakeasy era.....(minus the TVs! Of course) if youre an old soul and enjoy cigars, or the occasional smoke its a wonderful atmosphere. It is somehow very well ventilated! There is only one corner that feels like it gets a bit stuffy. The current manager, Hamza really takes care of the customers. The cocktails are great (but unfortunately I have to hate on the espresso martini....its far too sweet) great wines, spirits, and imported beers! (One of the only places we can find a good Peroni!)My ONLY suggestion would be to create a small are for a few live musicians. Or a record player/jukebox. 😊Overall, spectacular location.

This former speakeasy funky cigar lounge was a pleasant surprise during our visit to Boston. There aren’t many places like this left. Cool atmosphere and good selection of cigars. Great place to relax with friends, watch sports and unwind. Service and drinks were good, too!

Review №18

Youre looking at an average of $20 per cigar. Really cool basement vibe with old woodwork, playing great new age music over the speakers; and not too smokey when I was there on a Tuesday night. Friendly staff and patrons (from what I found). Good place to have a cigar and continue on with your night.

Review №20

Favorite spot in Boston to have a smoke.. the place has been around for 100 years.. think 1920.. lot of history there in the heart of Boston Cigar prices are reasonable and the cigars are always prime.. the service there is also top notch... there 100 year old lease is up .. and they are still going strong but this cigar bar might go private with a possible cover for those who arent members.. so go get your smoke on

For the only cigar bar in Boston, expect a crowd. The service was good... but the lack ventilation was a little much for these tourists. Neat history and setting.... just wish there were windows or opens doors! If you bring your own cigar, there is a fee unless you make a purchase from the humidor.

Review №36

Honestly never smoked a cigar in my life and am not very into them. I reluctantly got dragged in here but was super surprised. The ambiance is relaxing and the service was top notch and friendly! MOST OF ALL the cocktails were out of this world. Best lemon drop Ive ever had. I had a second cocktail as well that was outstanding.

Cigar bars are not places I generally prefer to go, but that being said, the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful to the people I went with, and the dimly-lit, vintage vibe atmosphere was definitely on target for people who are into retro cigar bars.

This has everything you would want in a perfect cigar lounge. The smoke selection is decent rather than extensive, but the quality is high. The drink selection is huge, and the staff is fantastic. It has a perfect low-light atmosphere, and the patrons are respectful. This is one of my favorite places to do anything in Boston, and I never miss an opportunity.

If youre visiting Boston and you enjoy a cigar, this is an awesome place to check out. My significant other loved the House Churchill Cigar, our cocktails were delicious, the atmosphere really preserved the 1920s speakeasy and the bartender Kate was kind and knowledgeable about the area! Will definitely return when we come back!

Review №46

I came here as part of a bachelor party celebration over Memorial Day weekend. I know next to nothing about cigars, so I was a bit intimidated by the wide selection.Our waitress, Rachel, was incredible. She was patient with my indecisiveness and recommended a cigar which I thoroughly enjoyed. She was funny and personable and has a great personality for this type of location.The atmosphere of the lounge was cool- the smoky and dimly light room helped add to the ambiance.If I’m ever in Boston again I would definitely come back, and to anyone reading this and on the fence as to whether or not they should go here I say do it! It’s worth it.

I come here everytime I am in town. I love this place! Great atmosphere. Service is good and friendly. Sometimes when they are busy (weekend evenings) it may take a little time to be served until they catch up, but then they are pretty punctual. Good selection of cigars, although not the largest by any means. They also have hookahs if you are looking for that. Overall, a great cigar place with a full bar in the center of the north end. Highly recommend.

Review №49

A unique cigar bar that is not for the weak of heart. Lots of cool history here and you know youre in the North End of Boston. Waitstaff very pleasant and helpful. Drinks fairly priced and worth every cent. Nice cigar selection, although a bit pricey. Ten dollar cutting fee to bring your own cigar. Place is a bit smokey, ventilation could be better, but its an old basement cigar bar...Overall, I enjoyed my evening!

I come up to Boston once a year for a convention and we always have to make sure to stop by Stanza for a cigar and drink. Great atmosphere and friendly service. We always enjoy our times stopping in!

Review №51

Cigar selection could use a little help, but thats honestly just due to the popularity of the place. Our server was lamenting how her usual recommendations had all been smoked up. But its got tons of character, a broad drink pairing menu and some fun signature drinks. Considering the vibe of the place, they have a surprisingly refreshing playlist, as well. Ill be coming back.

Review №52

Ok, so set your expectations appropriately. Its a cigar bar setup speakeasy style. The air is heavy, youre going to smell like smoke after, and its a dark lounge. They make great cocktails and everyone is friendly. Its also a good place to watch a game since thet have a bunch of TVs setup on the walls and behind the bars. Highly recommend is a cigar bar is your kind of place. One of the last of its kind in Massachusetts.

A friend and I visited Boston this past weekend. Stanza dei Sigari was recommended as a place to visit. It was the best place to end our Friday & Saturday night. Great selection of cigars, outstanding drinks, very friendly service, and a nice visit & greeting from the owner. We made one last visit on Sunday afternoon. If you want to experience Boston nightlife, front miss this place. 👍

If you like cigars, a must visit! Speakeasy setting. Wood decor. Dim lit. Smoke. Pictures and cool stuff hanging on the walls. A few TV’s. Great crowd. Perfect pours.Eat at Carmelina’s or anywhere in the neighborhood, then get dessert at Mike’s. Get to Stanza and have a drink and a cigar (or a few of each).Cigars a little pricey, but they are cut for you and you get a pack of matches. A full service establishment.Bartenders have terrific jokes.A classic, authentic place to visit.

Probably the last place in Boston where you can relax and smoke a good cigar without having someone looking at you as if you were killing their kids. Friendly staff, great cigars at very reasonable prices, drinks are average but the main focus is smoking here so I dont mind. Will definitely go here again.

Review №64

Very disappointed. Atmosphere was great, however. Ordered two cigars. One was dry and began unraveling halfway through. The waitress, Lauren, told us she couldnt do anything because the manager wasnt there. The other was an Ashton Churchill. The menu showed that the price was $26. When we got the bill, they billed us $38. When I brought it to the attention of Lauren, she said it wasnt posted to the menu. She apologized, but that was all. Unless you have money to burn, Id avoid this place like the plague.

Review №66

One of the best cigar bars I have been to. The atmosphere is terrific with plenty of old-world charm. I urge you to take time to look closely at the wall decorations, there are some wonderful photographs and articles demonstrating how long this place has been here. The cigars are pricey and their selection could use a little updating. Ive been here a few times and have quickly become bored of their humidor list. However, you can bring your own cigar with a $10 cutting fee. They have decent bar with some great waitstaff. If you are into hookah, they do that too.

A cigar bar in the heart of the North End in an old speakeasy, you cant do much better. They have a great selection of cigars and liquors priced decently for its location. Even their house cigars are top notch.

Review №68

Perhaps the only place in Boston where you can drink and have a cigar. Great old-fashioned ambiance. Decent cigar selection, if pricey. I brought my own cigars after my first visit and paid the cutting fee. Was there almost daily during my two weeks in Boston. Also, in Little Italy, so everything you would want was merely steps away. If you love cigars, visit Stanza Del Sigari.

Review №72

This is definitely a great place to begin or end a night. From the second you walk down the stairs into this establishment and see the Tommy Gun encased in glass above the door, you are transported back to a different era. Inside, it is classy and inviting with a lot of energy. The waitresses are extremely friendly, the cigar and liquor assortment is broad, and they even have hookahs for those not interested in cigars. The only down side is the cigars can be a little pricey and on occasion the ventilation isnt great, but that shouldnt deter you from visiting this change of pace cigar lounge.

Review №74

Came here from out of town to have a good smoke. Walked in with no one welcoming me. The sitting area was very dimly lit with the cigars in the back almost as if a after thought. When I walked up to the humidor they were all locked and limited selection. Furthermore there were no accessories for sale. Once the waiter walked past me to talk to people in the back for a good two minutes I left.

Where else can you smoke cigar at a public establishment with your friends? Pretty sure nowhere. This is the last place you can do it. Great place to have a smoke and some adult beverages with friends/coworkers. They even have hookah if some of the people in your group arent into cigars.

I’m in the city for work so I just typed in hookah bars near me and this place came up. Im sure it’s fine if you want a loud sports bar that reeks of cigar smoke (I did see it was also a cigar bar) but I was expecting a hookah lounge that was relaxing.

Not bad as cigar lounges go. As mentioned in other reviews, VERY expensive. Cigars are, on average, about $10 more per stick than your typical cigar shop or lounge (Philly area). Not sure if this is all upcharge or Mass taxes. As for the bar itself, nice dark bar perfect for unwinding and smoking . Good selection of top shelf whisky.

Interesting cigar shop/lounge. I didnt get the chance to sit and enjoy a cigar, but the staff was friendly and helped choose a smoke. Not the cheapest, but it was a great experience from start to finish. Nice selection of cigars, and the drink list looked extensive as well. Looks like a great place to relax, have a drink and a smoke.

Review №95

This place is such a cool, hidden gem in the North End. When you walk downstairs, youre transported into what feels like an old Italian speakeasy, with large leather chairs, dim, romantic lighting, and a fantastic cigar selection. A great place to sit and sip bourbon with a cigar (if thats your bag) - or simply just sit and relax.

Review №96

Hmmm, I am at an impasse here. The site, looks and selection were up to par. Nonetheless, while the attentions were accommodating were at times not engaging for the experience one typically look when visiting a dedicated cigar place. What really stroke me (one star down) is the lack of some level of ventilation (extraction mechanism). Dont get me wrong, I enjoy greatly the surrounding aroma of a good cigar, but at times it was unnecessarily saturated with everybodys. I do want to appreciate the one I picked. Maybe I went on a very busy day, maybe I have had different experiences but I believe the air needs some space for ones cigar to breath :)
