Cigar Masters is a classic cigar café that you would have found prevalent in the mid-1990s at the height of the cigar boom, which is around the time the establishment opened on Newbury Street, Boston’s major shopping district. This Back Bay oasis, which for the past two years has been at its new location on Boylston Street, is full of plush leather couches and a comfortable bar between the front and back rooms. Brooke Leahy, the general manager, says the bar usually gets busy around 9 p.m., after diners from any of a number of steak houses or fine restaurants wander in.

Have a seat in one of the deep comfortable chairs and take your pick from the best cigars in town. Enjoy hand-rolled specialties from the Dominican, Italy, Costa Rica, Panama and much more. Dazzling collection of hand-crafted humidors, cutters and lighters. Wine, desserts and delivery to your hotel is also available. Rated country’s top 10 cigar shops by Cigar Aficionado.

Tips:

Cigar Masters has a fairly large humidor and a very wide selection of beers, wines and Ports. No hard liquor here. The biggest-selling cigar brand is Ashton, but you can opt for a Padrón Anniversario Torpedo for $22.50 or a $4 Macanudo Caviar Café. Take note: if you want to smoke a cigar you brought with you, there’s a $10 “lighting fee.” That’s how Cigar Masters, open from 10 a.m. to midnight, helps keep the revenue split on the right side of the smoking laws.
