This is one of the best cigar lounges I have ever relaxed at. Be sure to go on a day when they have their chef on (usually Wed, Thur, and Fri) when they serve homemade Persian meals. Simply the best food this side of The Middle East. The cigar selection is amazing. The lounge beautiful and relaxing. Well worth coming to as a destination. Definitely worth coming to for any celebration.

Loved finding this Cigar Lounge randomly! I was in the area and found it. Stopped by to grab a couple of things for my humidor and to my surprise, they have a very large selection of the best cigar brands. Even better, one of the best Old Fashioned I’ve had in a while!Josh and Ángela were very accommodating, courteous and sweet. I’ll definitely go back to visit.

I did not experience the lounge but the associate who helped me was super helpful. They have a huge selection of cigars. When I told the associate what I wanted he showed me five different sticks. The one I got was perfect. Perfect humidity, wasnt sitting too long on one side so it burned evenly. Prices were good, will definitely be going back.

First time here, came with a close friend of mine who is a frequenter. Amazing cigar selection plus perfect atmosphere to enjoy a drink & smoke a stick. Wish I could have stayed longer. I’ll def be back. Thanks!

Ultra clean shop. Bob was great - very helpful & knew his stuff. You gotta spend $25 (or more) to enjoy a stick here but its worth it if youre looking for a very laid-back experience. Lots of Davidoff/Camacho/Rocky Patels to choose from.

I wish I could give this place, six stars, seven stars...heck just give them all the stars! This is hands down the best Middle Eastern food I have had in South Orange County. The portions were huge and everything was seasoned to perfection. The chicken kebab was moist and had that authentic flavor I have been craving. Soheila was our server and from the moment we walked in she was attentive and super friendly. She even accommodated some of our dietary restrictions since we are doing the keto diet. I asked for all salad instead of rice and she switched it up with no hesitation. The salad was freaking amazing! We enjoyed some wine with our meal and watched the basketball game on their TV. Great spot for a Friday date night. We will definitely be back!

Warm sales people. Amazing selection. I highly recommend the God Mother Cigar.

Soyla is the best doing customer service best experience cigars, drinks and food 🔥🔥🔥

I will not buy from club aficionado anymore. I went in to buy an arturo fuente ceramic ashtray for a friend and first I was surprised to see no price tags on all accessories.I was not warmly welcomed and the ashtray was quoted 20$ more than its regular price after I asked (like the price of the day). All ashtrays prices I asked were way over priced (35% higher) for no reason.I went to Tobacco Barn Pipe Shop & Cigar Lounge, 23532 El Toro Rd Suite 13, just half a mile away from this place. They had the same products at the right market price and were super friendly and customer oriented, providing me with good advises and suggestions. There are no reason for charging 35% more for the same product. So dont go to club aficionado and simply drive half a mile more to enjoy better service with no abuse on pricing at Tobacco Barn Pipe Shop & Cigar Lounge. Really. And their humidor has way more selection for sure!

Can’t say enough about how great this cigar lounge is! The owners are fantastic The food really great and excellent cigars!! Try the Godmother!One of the best in California or anywhere!!!

Great food and service worth stopping in and saying hello

Really nice place! Owners are great 👍. Bar is wonderful! We will be back!

I came to this cigar bar because of the reviews I read on Google. I was not disappointed. The people here are wonderful. The cigars selection is vast. The TV is awesome to watch the games. They cook up wonderful Kebabs from chicken to shrimp to salmon. The food is just excellent. Then you can also get a Persian Tea to enjoy with your cigars. Great find.

Beautifully remodeled with extra comforts and even added tap beers. Full bar and 4 large screens for sports. The humidors are huge with a spectacular selection. The owners are extremely helpful and great helping select the perfect cigars.Go there!

Great food great cigars. Very nice employees will be back

Im an amateur cigar smoker only visited there once beautiful shop and Smoke Bar lots of wonderful cigars . Nice friendly atmosphere. After asking for help I purchased a diamond Crown cigar it was wonderfully not overwhelming just a nice taste . I will definitely return to the shop .

Amazing experience! Staff friendly and knowledgeable. They have cigars for all kinds of aficionados, as well as alcoholic beverages.Recommend 💯!! 😊🙌

Been here twice, and plan on coming back many more times. Checked it out after work one day as I wanted to get back into Cigars and forgot my clothes for the gym and wanted to wait for traffic to die down. The owners and club members are all very nice and accepting and will go above and beyond in helping you pick the right Cigar. Very Nice laid back atmosphere, I didnt feel uncomfortable at all, even though I was probably the youngest person there, and would honestly probably buy their club membership if I lived in the area.

Great place. Very welcoming environment. They have a great selection of cigars, and the food is delicious.

What an epic way to spend a Saturday night watching the games and smoking some very nice cigars! The selection was insane.

The food is amazing, the drink specially the house old fashion is amazing. Their advice on cigars are to the point. Must try it.

The team here are kind and generous . They offer a wide selection and range of cigars. They make wonderful Kebabs from chicken to shrimp to salmon. The food is just excellent. Then you can also get a Persian Tea to enjoy with your cigars. Great find.

We were first timers yesterday and really enjoyed the experience. Angela and co. are very hospitable and made us feel welcome along with the members. Great experience and I am really looking forward to Game Days in the lounge this season!!! Fight On! ... Great selection of cigars. Humidified lockers for members, Nice size lounge, games, multiple TVs to enjoy your favorite game. Members were also very knowledgeable and helpful regarding my cigar experience.

Came here with friends/family. Owners and bartender could not have been cooler. Great place, will definitely return next time I am in town.

I cant comment on the food but I come here mainly to buy cigars and supplies. They always seem happy to see me which I appreciate. I dont really spend a lot of time here but it is very nice and I really should get to know some of the people who share in my wonderful Hobby.

Excellent cigar selection, room lounge, great ventilation system and they make great cocktails.Next time will I will enjoy their Persian food that I missed out on. I will definitely be back when I visit Orange County.

Home away from home! Used to come here a lot more and will do so again now that I have some more time! The staff are wonderful and love how you can just come here and destress or get away for a few hours.Oh and I recommend the Godmother! Great cigar!

This place is a treasure.I make it a point to check out cigar bars wherever I go, and this place stands alone. Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall in super suburban Lake Forest, you would never expect to find a gem like this. The store itself is well stocked (and try the home brand, “Godmothers Cigar”, they are VERY good), but the real experience begins when you get into the back room.In the back room you will find a nice small bar containing all the required basics to make it a quality and homey bar. You may not find the exact brand of liquor you are looking for, but you will find a quality examples of whatever your preferred drink happens to be. Likewise for the food, it’s a small menu, but everything is made with the utmost care and (to use an overused phrase) genuinely tastes “home cooked”. This theme continues to the space itself, it’s not huge, nor lavishly appointed, but the chairs are just right for comfortably enjoying a cigar and a scotch, the table are intimate enough to have a quiet conversation, and the televisions are spaced and volumed just right to either view from any seat, or to ignore. If you were to make the perfect home cigar smoking space, it would be just like this.The reason for this example of simple perfection becomes apparent when you meet the owner. Angella (The “Godmother” behind “Godmothers Cigars”) genuinely loves this place and her community, and she wanted to make a place that people love to relax in, and it shows! When you are here, you are always treated like an old friend. The clientele is always friendly, and don’t be surprised if patrons great you with a warm “Hi, how are you?” even if they have never ever seen you before. Visit on a busy night, and you may be treated to an impromptu sing along, or welcomed into a poker game. Visit on a slow night, and you may have the opportunity to get to know the owner or the staff on a real and personal level.Club Aficionado is exactly what people mean when they say they prefer small family owned businesses over corporate chains. My only regret is that I discovered this amazing place while on vacation, because if I lived nearby, it would truly be a home away from home, favorite bar, favorite cigar store, favorite restaurant, and a little something more all rolled into one.Kudos to Angela, for she has really made something magical.

Im visiting from out of country, Where I have access To Cuban cigars, I made it clear to the guys that I have no experience in cigars beside Cuban, so they took me around and help me to pick some cigars (I bough t 7 in total), they gave me a free humidifying units to keep the cigar humid through my visit !Later, when I checked the cigars they advised online they were all of good prices and high rates, and upon smoking them they were will kept and I enjoyed the quality.They have a nice big lounge that really enrich the smoke and wine experience,its a family business were everyone is cheerful and helpful

Amazing atmosphere! Excellent Persian food, Great Hospitality & Family.... cigars, drinks aficionado coneseurs!

The owners of this establishment are good people. High quality cigars, good whiskey, delicious Persian food, and a nice lounge to enjoy it all in. That about sums it up.

This place is incredible. Lots of cigars to choose from, and the lounge is really comfortable. Im new to cigars and they were very friendly and helped me find a cigar that was just perfect.

Great atmosphereThey are very welcoming and friendly

I have been buying cigars and smoking in the lounge of this establishment for over 11 years, and I would HIGHLY recommend Club Afficiando to anyone who simply wants to buy cigars from a wide selection in their spacious humidor, or relax in their opulent well-ventilated lounge. Cigars are priced reasonably. It has been family run since the day it opened. The owners and staff are always extremely friendly, and are very knowledgable about the product. In all the years they have never once failed to greet me with a smile. This has been the lounge of my chioce, and I wouldnt hesitate to go out of my way to get here for a relaxing evening.

Great Smoking Lounge and Full service Bar with evening dinners from heaven. Whats not to like.

Wow, family atmosphere, great Cigar selection, top shelf drinks, amazing kabob. A Gem in OC for cigar Aficionados.

Went there with my wife on a Saturday night and as we entered the place the people in the front lobby that were playing poker all turned around and looked at us like we were lost. We felt really uncomfortable and the cigars were really over priced. The management staff used high pressure sales tactics and after showing us the lounge, we decided to leave. The management kept talking in a foreign language most of the time to each other. Skip this place and save the hassle.

Great place to smoke a cigar with a full bar.

The perfect blend of friendly staff, excellent cigars, good drinks and an excellent lounge. Just wish I could visit more often
