Like this place a lot. Used to have time to go more, though they are always very helpful. There is always someone there to help you with choosing a smoke. Nice size cozy lounge. Full bar - recent addition. Usually a fun place to go.
Excellent lounge experience. Staff understands what customer service is. Cigar prices are very high though. I will return for my holiday cigars. Beautiful beautiful architecture.
Josh & Lori are long time friends. Im so proud of them for how they have been involved in Meridian, Idaho. Ive visited the Vault and been so impressed in the Everts hospitality and knowledge. Its worth the time and effort to visit the Vault and learn about the cigar community. Its a honor for me to know the Everts and to share these words about The Vault with you.
Great cigar lounge in the heart of Meridian. Good selection and drinks are on point. I can honestly say if you dont even like cigars go and try one of their amazing cocktails made by one of the best bartenders in the valley.Can get really smokey inside especially in the winter but thats just the price you pay. Definitely worth a visit if you are in town or want to experience the cool atmosphere.Between the Vault in Meridian, the V Cut in Nampa and Sturmans wine and cigars in Boise you will not lack in fine cigar establishments. Check them all out!
Updated 7/30 After finally finding enough time to stay for a drink I changed my 4 star rating to 5. Great Old Fashoned and my wife really enjoyed the staff recommended Man Down cocktail. Very clean establishment and wonderful staff.
A wonderful cigar location with all the necessary amenities. The owners & their employees are very knowledgeable. Great walk-in humidor! Love this place!
Owners and Staff are fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. The humidor always has new product to try and has a great selection.Have yet to have anything other than a great experience!
Awesome cigar and whiskey bar! Great selection of high end scotches and bourbons. Great service and great atmosphere for business or pleasure. This is a place I would love to play guitar in and chill.
Great staff, great atmosphere. Full bar, top shelf premium cigars.patio,lounge. One of the best shops Ive ever been in.
Great service, amazing atmosphere, all around great place to chill and enjoy a drink and a cigar
If youre a cigar lover you have to check the Vault out. My 1st experience was an intro to cigar class a few weeks ago. Even though Ive been smoking cigars for over 30 years I found the class interesting and informative. Their humidor contains unusual and unique cigars not found in other cigar shops including Sturmans. They now have a liquor license and are serving upscale liquor and cocktails. This is a must for all cigar aficionados...a great place to hang out and relax in comfortable leather chairs and enjoy the comradery with other aficionados. Watch for more classes and tasting events.
Best cigar lounge in the valley.. great cigars.. great drinks.. phenomenal customers and customer service.
Very cool cigar lounge, great service, very lax atmosphere.Cigar selection was good and good local beers in cans and bottles.Looking forward to when they get their liquor license to enjoy a little scotch with my stogie.
They have a liquor license, sturmans serves beer and wine. Nuff said...
Cool little cigar spot, and you can buy beer, wine and cider while youre enjoying a cigar!
Local cigar shop and smoking lounge. Very cool atmosphere. Good cigars, good people, and good pricesGood variety, check whats in stock online.
Evan is the man - very good at looking out for everyone here. The Vault also has a great selection of cigars you cant really find elsewhere
Best selection of cigars in the area. Great lounge, relaxing atmosphere.
Fantastic service. Super helpful. Great selection
The Vault Review: They have a large humidor full of junk offbrand cigars marked up 100-200%; If youre looking for Macanudo, Arturo Fuente, La Gloria Cubana, Monte Cristo, CAO, Rocky Patel, Romeo Y Julieta, Cohiba, Oliva, Baccarat, Davidoff, Etc. - you wont find them here. Its shocking but true, dont take my word for it, go see for yourself.
I don’t smoke cigars but Evan helped me with a very old Zippo lighter that belonged to my father who passed away 20 years ago. I wanted to give it to my son, but the lighter needed serious TLC. After calling cigar shops all over town, Evan was the only one who helped me. He not only got the lighter working he didn’t charge me! Thank you Evan for your expert Zippo skills and knowledge, and for being so kind!
Excellent atmosphere with friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Excellent! Looking for a place to enjoy a fine cigar hands down this is the place in idaho! Owners make you feel at home!!
Great selection and an awesome atmosphere.
Good lounge. Lots of nice leather chairs to kick back with a cigar. Large selection of boutique cigars. Also have beers and other drinks for sale.
What a great little place for cigars. Spent a couple of hours there. Felt like my home store. What a treat.
The Vault is a second home for every customer that walks through their doors! The owners Josh and Lori are amazingly generous people. They have the best selection of cigars in the valley and are very knowledgeable about them!I haven’t ever been to a business where I felt more like a part of the family than The Vault and they have a customer and friend for life in me!
What a historic gem in growing downtown Meridian! The building was restored beautifully, the cigar selection is off the charts, and there is a nice little selection of adult beverages (even GF beer!). If you’re lucky, you’ll run into Cigar Don Williams himself, or his wife who will also weirdly answer to that name. 10/10 such a great spot; do recommend.
This is a great space run by great people. The owners and staff genuinely care about each customer. Josh and Lori are very knowledgeable about cigar selection and have classes available to learn more. They are top notch individuals and have created an amazing atmosphere to enjoy others and smoke great cigars.
I gave four stars because of the very friendly staff and the chill atmosphere. However, I feel the prices are a bit high for the quality of cigars that they have, so I could not give five stars. Not that they are bad, just not my thing. They need a more variety of tobacco types, they only had about two different cigars that were a different tobacco than the rest. I like Maduros and darker tobaccos with a nice light Connecticut from time to time, both of those are a rarity in this store. They didn’t have any Romeo Y Julieta or Joya De Nicaragua, both are very good selling brands with a decent quality tobacco and are usually a favorite mid-grade of most aficionados. A lot of off-brands with a couple known low to mid-grades like La Galera and some higher end cigars like Padrón (even in Maduro) overall it’s a fairly nice store that would benefit greatly from a more varied selection of tobaccos.
Amazing cigar shop/lounge. Plenty of seating and very spacious. Staff is incredibly friendly, and knowledgeable. Wonderful selection of cigars, not many name brands, but very affordable, broad, and flavorful selection. Would highly recommend anyone stop by, beginners, and afficianados alike.
The Vault is the perfect place to enjoy a cigar and meet interesting people. Its the resurrection of everything that was good about the social club and the speakeasy.
In this world there are magical places. This is one for sure
Very nice place that is comfortably furnished and great to sit and enjoy a cigar. They now have a system to get rid of a lot of smoke so now my wife can even come and sit and visit and not smell like smoke. They have a great selection of fine cigars. The cigars are priced fair for the most part. They have cold drinks, and a good selection of beers. They also have wine and port although I think those two items are really over priced. I love sitting and relaxing while smoking a cigar, just no more port. If you are at all interested in the cigar experience, this is the place to go on the Treasure Valley. Definitely recommended.
Nice atmosphere, Excellent Selection of cigars, Good conversation, Wonderful place to relax for a minute. It has become my favorite stop after work for ME! The owners are people who cares about people. And very knowledgeable about cigars. This place is comfortable and entertaining its a must stop
Great place to relax! The people who work here are so nice and make you feel at home. Its a fun and unique place to spend an evening. Glad we found this gem.
Im from out of state and was looking was a cigar lounge while visiting family. After a quick search and reading reviews i decided to come here. Im glad i did. The staff was fantastic. He gave me a thorough run down on all there cigars and even recommended one i have never tried. Experience was awesome. Thank you.
Nice people, neat building. The selection of sticks is a bit limited, but you can find something youll like. My single complaint is in the lack of ventilation. An exhaust fan someplace at the top of the room, venting out, would really go a long way in making it a much nicer place to stay for an hour or two.
Great place! Owners are awesome!
I’ve been to quite a few cigar lounges around the country. The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable staff, friendly customers, and an overall inviting feel make this the perfect place to relax.
Josh the owner is over accomodating and super gracious with his knowledge and hospitality. Bought $150 worth if some of the best cigars you can buy. He even gave me a very special cigar you cant even buy. Super happy with this place. Ill be going back a lot.( helps I only live 2 Miles away!!🤗)
This is a great place to get some amazing cigars. They have it set up so that choosing the right cigar is easy. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable, ready to help you out. The couches and chairs are quite comfortable, and they have a few filter units spread out throughout the room to ensure you are not inundated with smoke. I love this place and cant wait to get back there.
We went last night for the first time, pretty good selection in the humidor, I would call this a medium size. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful, there were about 15 people in the place smoking, again super friendly. Really nice vibe, great smoke ventilation. They also has very a nice selection of drinks. We will be back when in town
Knowledgeable staff for the beginner to the experienced cigar smoker. Comfortable place to relax and enjoy. Great place, better staff
Josh and Lori (owners) are amazing people that are leading the way in making downtown Meridian an even better place to live and play. The Vault serves top notch cigars with top notch customer service and friendship. It’s a place you want to be at. I can’t say enough good things about the Vault’s vision, culture and values!
Great atmosphere! Just what you would hope to find in a cigar lounge - leather chairs, friendly people, good conversation, excellent cigars, perfectly humidified. And they are always happy to help find the right cigar for you or for a gift!
As far as Ambiance and a place to go and enjoy your cigar, this place is it. I like the atmosphere and the walk-in humidor room is wonderful in size and they have top-notch Brands available. I also like that do you can buy used cigar boxes here as well.
Place like no other. Great owners, great people, great selection. Amazing place! Always gotta stop when Im in town. They will welcome you like no one else.
Great customer service and cool hangout. I had a cigar that just was a difficult one to smoke. They had none of that and asked me to pick another cigar on the house. Who does that? The Vault does. Good place.
Best selection, great atmosphere along with great owners! The owners are very interactive with all of the customers and they have a great staff that is full of knowledge about all of the cigars in stock. Staff is very interactive with the customers also.Hand down, Best cigar lounge in Idaho!
Wow! My brother and I came here for Italian wine night. Great selection of cigars, comfortable chairs and super friendly staff. A cigar smokers dream.
Super comfortable, owners truly care about the customers happiness! I really enjoy the atmosphere and the location is easy to get to.
One of the nicest smoking lounge & cigar shops in the US. Staff are super helpful and knowledgeable about cigars. They take the time to get you into a good cigar for what you are looking for, from their walkin humidor. My favorite go to spot to bring visiting cigar lovers. JH
Fun and relaxing place to go to chill and enjoy a cigar.
Great cigar lounge, great humidor that carries boutique brands that are top notch. Great place to buy cigars, or hang out and smoke a stogie, watch sports and enjoy an adult beverage
Absolutely my favorite place in the valley. Great selection, great atmosphere, and great people! The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable.
Great cigar selection. Good environment

Excellent cigar lounge!! Highly recommend this place if your in the area!!
Guess ill have to be the one to pull the ratings down... From the other reviews, it sounds like a great place to shop, however, the 12:00 pm opening time never seems to work for me. Have you considered opening at 9 or 10 to service us early birds?
First time to the Vault last night very nice staff very knowledgeable in cigars great place to go relax have a cigar will go back 👍😁
Great ambience and friendly staff. Solid selection of cigars and the type of place you just want to hang out in. A go to spot for aficionados.
