A cigar bar is a place where users come to smoke cigars in a relaxed environment, usually sealed off from neighboring areas to prevent the spread of smoke and aromas. It is usually a commercial establishment providing cigars to customers along with tables, seating, and sometimes food or drinks.

Cigar smoking is the principal leisure activity. Food and drinks can accompany it without being required, and separation from neighboring rooms is usual.

A hookah lounge centers on water-pipe smoking. A smoking-permitted corner of another establishment is distinct from a place specifically arranged for leisure cigar smoking.
