Quote: “Cigar smoking knows no politics. It’s about the pursuit of pleasure, taste, and aroma.”

Somewhere between a portrait of American life by Norman Rockwell and an episode of Cheers lies the nature and grandeur that is Casa Fuma Fine Cigars. When sitting down with friends, many a conversation has been had on what our ideal cigar store would look like, and I am glad to say that Casa Fuma not only accomplishes that, but exceeds expectations! From the first time you walk in, its like an man’s version of Disneyland, there is just something magical about it. It could be the inviting seating area, or perhaps the affable staff, or well stocked humidor, but whatever it is, it works!

Enter in past the permanent fixture named Walt, the grumpiest-kind old man, you will notice that the store is simple and elegant; it strikes a fine balance between refined and functional arenas. All of the furniture is either constructed of sturdy rich wood, or supple leather that allows one to sink into a chair or couch for a sinfully luxurious cigar smoking experience. If your pace is more of a sports bar appeal, then that can be accommodated too at the bar where many an individual come to blow of some steam via a nice cigar and a flat panel TV (6 TV’S), that has all of the latest in movies and sport packages. Of course some prefer to be close to Mother Nature and that can be delivered too via the outdoor patio. A very large outdoor seating area which features comfortable seating and canopy’s to create an enjoyable outdoor smoking experience.

The seating, both indoors and out, is set in such a way that it will accommodate any type of visit. A business man can use areas as his office. The small group can sit and converse in private and the largest of groups can mingle and socialize with ease. It’s also arranged so the business man can join the group or the group can turn into the larger party, assisted by the Cheer’s like atmosphere the patrons create.

“Get out of that seat, that’s Coach’s chair!” A group will yell as Coach, one of hundreds (or so it feels) of regulars, walks into the lounge. Everyone visiting is warmly greeted and invited in all conversation going through the Gilbert cigar lounge. The people, from your regulars to first time visitors, are instantly friends and treated as such. You will truly feel like this is not a cigar lounge but another extension of your daily routine – for many their second home.

The Humidor layout is also very nice, and comes replete with a veritable cornucopia of cigar choices for anyone to enjoy; from the novice to the cigar aficionado you can find a stick that is sure to be a pleasurable smoke. And if you aren’t quite in the mood to smoke it that second, why not buy a storage locker? Casa Fuma has their beautiful individually made storage lockers in various sizes to insure that each one of your sticks is in pristine form for the moment you want to pull it out and smoke it. Of course another important factor of the store is its price points, and I am thrilled as a frequent customer to report that the points are fair for the market, if not below the market on some very great sticks. Another incentive to buy is that you can become a Casa Fuma rewards card member and earn 1 point for every dollar spent on cigars, and cigar products. After a hundred dollars in purchases, you can get ten dollars back in store credit to use.

So if you are looking for a place that allows you to come and sit for a moment, or just come and pick a stick from a great selection, then Casa Fuma Fine Cigars in Gilbert, Arizona is the place to be. Not only do they have the best cigar store hours in Arizona (open to ten on weekdays, twelve on weekends, earlier and later for special events/sports), but they have a great selection of sticks at a great price. But perhaps the single most important trait to me, is that as an individual I can come and sit a spell, take a load off my feet, interact with some great individuals from all different walks of life, and smoke a cigar in an inviting environment; where as the old Cheers song goes, “everybody knows your name.”

Tinder Box Oliva Jazz Event

Oggie’s Cigars has a message for you:
You’ve all heard about the “NEW CIGAR TAX”…THERE IS NO CIGAR TAX!!! DID YOU HEAR ME??? THERE IS NO CIGAR TAX!!!!! PLEASE ALLOW ME TO REPEAT MYSELF (SOMETHING I’M ACCUSED OF OFTEN ANYWAY) THERE IS NO CIGAR TAX……….AT OGGIES!!! THE LAST THING ANY OF THE HARD WORKING CUSTOMERS WHO COME INTO MY STORE NEED IS AN INCREASE OGGIES WILL MAINTAIN THEIR DAY TO DAY COMPETITIVE PRICES ON ALL FULL SIZE CIGARS (TINS ARE EXCLUDED) AND WILL NOT, I REPEAT  WILL NOT PASS ON THE CIGAR TAX ON ANY AND ALL FULL SIZE CIGARS. I WILL ABSORB IT!! I MAY BE WORKING ON SMALLER MARGINS AS A RESULT..BUT THAT’S LIFE. SO DON’T GO BUYING BOXES AND STOCKING UP NEEDLESSLY

The cigar lounge is outfitted with 5 high-def TV’s, leather couches, free wi-fi internet, accessories, and a big selection of cigars to enjoy. Casa Fuma will start renting out the personal lockers today, on a first come – first serve basis.

More specifically, the new Gilbert cigar lounge has stocked the humidor with many hard to find cigars. The cigars on hand, but not limited to will include: Oliva, Ashton (VSG aged 2 years), NUB, Don Pepin, Don Carlos, Opus, Stradivarius, Tatuaje (even the West Coast) and many more.

Mr. Cliff Coen the owner of Casa Fuma says he is offering some great deals for the first weekend open for business. He has purchased the UFC fight and has invited everyone to stop in and enjoy the lounge.

PuffingCigars.com, along with everyone in the tobacco community, would like to wish Mr.Coen the best of luck in his new venture.

Cliff Coen, the owner of the soon to be cigar lounge, says he had the “vision of the perfect cigar lounge that would cater to anyone and everyone“.

He was quick to inform us that “Casa Fuma“, as he says for short, will operate where “you the customer are truly my number one priority“.

The thought, design, and building process has taken over a year – combing over the little details to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. In fact Cliff Coen gathered many cigars, lots of them even rare, the moment he knew he would proceed with the shop.

Why you ask? He knows many smokers will appreciate aged sticks.

Cliff, as he prefers to be called, says he will carry a wide range of aged cigars at all price levels. PuffingCigars.com promised to keep a list of the cigars a secrete (he wants to reveal them for the grand opening) but I can say this: wow.

Casa Fuma does not yet have a grand opening date. Mr.Coen has promised to inform PuffingCigars.com when the specific information is known.

The Gilbert cigar lounge ill be located on the corner of Willamsfield and Val Vista.  1464 E. Williamsfield Rd Ste A105. Gilbert, AZ 85296

PuffingCigars.com thanks Mr.Coen for the interview and providing more information on the rumored Gilbert cigar lounge.
