Tasting Room,

800 West Broadway, Monona, WI 53713

"The Tasting Room is a wonderful cigar lounge. The indoor space is close in and richly comfortable. The walk-in humidor has an amazing cigar selection, and the bar is well stocked with great whiskey. The outside patio is so lovely and relaxing... Great for the good weather months! Regulars can rent lockers for their cigar inventory... Really nice facilities! Parking is a bit challenged because there tenant mix is popular"

"Had the opportunity to visit the Tasting Room recently. I have to say, this might be the nicest cigar bars I've been to. I 100% wish i could have had a cigar with my drink to fully appreciate the environment. My days of smoking cigars are over, i fear. however, the Honey Badger I had was outstanding. Sitting outside, around the fire, was absolutely relaxing. I couldn't have asked for a better evening. Tasting Room Staff - Thank you for your service. Your service provided a brief getaway from daily stress. It was nice to be greeted with your smiling faces and kind personalities. Keep up the great work, I hope our paths cross again."

"This is the perfect place to find cigar aficionados and great cocktails. Bob, Max, and Mark will answer any questions you have on what cigar will compliment the evening. Abby and the bar crew are pretty on point with their cocktail suggestions to compliment whichever cigar you are enjoying. This is a wonderful place to spend an evening after dinner. Out of towner wishing we had something like this where I'm from."

"The Tasting Room (TR) blended the tradition of a private cigar lounge with the accessibility and approachability of a public 'All are welcome' cigar lounge. Between the sleek rustic modern interior with many different gathering nooks to the spacious outdoor patio The Tasting Room had all the amenities a cigar fan would want. TR had a large, well organized and well humidified humidor. I had the pleasure of working with Bob, a fellow Chicago native, as we talked through the different tasting notes and style of cigar I was looking for that evening. To which Bob recommended the E.P. Carrillo Pledge, which has been named the #1 Cigar of 2020 and the #11 Cigar of 2022. Fantastic Smoke. Not only did the TR have great customer service but their ventilation systems were top of the line. Not once was I concerned that my dress attire was going to be overly pungent with the smell of smoke. As a individual who seeks out the best cigar lounges to enjoy a cigar in the midst of a brutal Midwest winter, TR impressed me in all that it had to offer. TR felt like a higher end private club without the stuffy atmosphere. If you're a cigar fan and looking for a great place to come have a stick I would highly recommend adding TR to your list. One thing is for certain, I will be a repeat customer when in town."

"I loved it here. First time visit, and I left with a handful of cigars, a new triple torch lighter, and a weighted cutter. Smells great in this place if you like humidors and cigar smoke. Nice fireplace, furniture, friendly atmosphere, and outstanding service. I will most definitely be back."
