To be clear i do not use the lounge as i dont live in the area. I stop in occasionally when close by so i can pick up a bundle of gold labels. Under six bucks a stick, you cant beat that. Such a great blend.

I smoke at a few places in Houston but my home away from home lounge is El Cubano in League City. Ive been smoking here at least 13 years and it ALL just keeps getting better! If youre a beginner, El Cubano is like being in cigar school. If youre a seasoned aficionado, youll find your tribe here...welcoming members, local sports, monthly steak nights, experienced and helpful staff and last but not least, the best hand crafted cigars youll ever taste! Do yourself a favor and go see Manny!

The cigars may be great, but they gave a $1 tip to my daughter who was Doordashing food to them. She is saving money for her college expenses. The restaurant messed up the phone order, she was only delivering it. They lost me as a customer after that classy move! UPDATE: The tone of your response confirms it was you LOL

Been buying cigars from Manny (and Pepe) for over a year now. I have settled on two of my favorite now. What impressed me the most was I emailed them and a couple of days later I got an unknown call from a Texas City number. When I answered the caller said Hey Roger this is Manny with El Cubano Cigars . I said yea right. He said no really. I m thinking the owner calls me. You don t get service like that anymore. Talked with Manny but it was a couple of months before I traveled to League City where I met Pepe. Super nice guy. Been buying ever since. Got to meet Manny the second time I was In League City. He said yeah you re the South Texas cowboy I talk to on the phone. Super gentleman also. Great selection of handmade cigars. I promise you won t be disappointed. Give them a try.

I went for the first time tonight with a Guy friend of mine for Steak night. And wow! I love this place! It smelled good, the atmosphere was absolutely lovely, dim light, good cigar smoke, great steaks, and good Bier and wine as well. And Mannie (apologies if I butchered the spelling of your name) was an absolute delight to talk to. I absolutely look forward to going back and highly recommend the joint.

This is one of the best lounges around Houston and has been my primary source for cigars for almost a year since I first had a smoke at their bar. Not only are they some of the tastiest and most consistent cigars I have ever had, they are offered for a price that makes them genuinely unbeatable in terms of value. I go with their bicolor gold label cigars, and in the dozens Ive smoked not one has burnt poorly or had a bad draw.

I got 20 7x60 smokes several months ago. Every one was a smooth, flavorful smoke. I lit them, then put my lighter away. Great draw, smooth burn, stayed lit. They were unwrapped, and sat in my plain humidor for a while. This did not matter. Very clean smoke.

The cigars are amazing and very under priced for what you getting. I have smoked almost one of each in the humidor and I can say there is not one that I didn t enjoy. This is a must visit lounge. You won t be disappointed.

My friends and I went by there last night after a couples dinner in Kemah. When we walked into the humidor an employee immediately came in and took his time to explain all the different types of cigars and specials that they offer. Once we got our cigars(we bought quite a few), the employee asked if there was anything that we wanted do, like just sit and, smoke, play cards, or dominoes. We decided to play cards, he provided the cards and set us up at a really nice table with plenty of ashtrays. The locals were incredibly nice as well. They offered us food and drinks(really good drinks). We met Manny, as he came to introduce himself. We told him we were from Houston and he graciously asked us come again anytime. When we left, we were the only ones there and it was past the posted closed time but they never tried to rush us out or create an awkward mood. We had a fantastic time there and will certainly make the drive from Houston again and again. BTW, the cigars were excellent!!! Thank you to Manny and your friendly staff for making our night very memorable!

They sell house blended cigars from a Cigar Factory in Texas City and are the last blenders in the Houston area. It appears they periodically have a custom roller on site. I bought an assortment of panatela format cigars. Ive only had their bandless panatela that was capped with a Cuban-Style pigtail. nicotine forward with nice earth tones and a bit of dry leather. There was a negligible harshness on the middle of the tongue that built up halfway through the cigar but was quickly alleviated once I grabbed a drink. good smoking quality with fair construction minimal touch ups were needed after correcting a lighting error. Overall the cigars are priced competitively and are worth the humidor space if you have time for a little aging. Would buy again.

I didnt know what to expect, but it would have something to do with cigars. I was finally able to venture over to check out this establishment. I chuckled as I walked up and saw a vintage car parked outside. Good sign. As I entered a pretty blonde was seated near the door and smiled a hello. I thought well, if its got to end like this...could be worse? as I looked for the jealous lover pointing his pistol at my heart, the shot never came, so I did the next best thing...check their humidor. The humidor interior was retrofitted and was simply high end manly, with straightforward wood shelves and some polished metal. It was clean, cigars were neatly stacked, bundled or in a box. The guy at the counter said they have rollers at their other location and recommend a traditional Cuban sandwhich smoke. Note: they dont carry any other cigars, but their own. I purchased the smoke and Im looking forward to what these guys have produced. Another note, about the interior, it looks like the shop was an old building with great natural lighting and a cool room temperature that was maybe a car repair shop or butcher shop, again added to the subdued manly cool factor (did you see the photo of the vintage car in the parking lot). But, the rest of the interior was like a fishing cabin or small lodge you & your buddies met up at to smoke and swap lies. Great low black leather chairs and low tables to sit your things. Didnt, notice any flatscreens, I think this place was about face to face communication, smoking good local handrolled cigars and being a place where men gather. Speaking of which, as I entered I noticed a gathering of men of a certain age having a smoke and back slapping. It looked like they were regulars. I definitely will stop in again when I have time to drive to League City. I especially liked their lounge wasnt private. So, drop in to see these guys and youll thank me.

Have been buying Manny Lopez cigars for 18 months. The quality of the handrolled cigars is way above the price. Very reasonable prices, especially if you buy by the box. What makes this place is the friendly atmosphere and the most gracious host Ive ever encountered in a cigar lounge anywhere. Pepe is awesome. Stop by for a smoke and enjoy this great oasis for cigar aficionados.

This place is awesome and I haven t smoked a cigar from here that I didn t like. Personally, I would much rather support these guys than a big cigar company any day. All of their cigars are hand-rolled in house and they are artisans of the craft. They are a true example of an immigrant success story and they deserve to be recognized for their efforts and the workmanship they brought with them from Cuba. Stop by and check it out, it s worth the trip.

Then go recline in some of the most comfortable buttery lounge chairs you have ever relaxed in. Watch some TV on one of the flat screens, engage in conversation with someone there. Manny perhaps. Listen to old records as they pop and click over the speakers.
