Surprisingly a great place. Didnt know what to expect on a Wednesday night. I will definitely be returning when Im in town again. Great atmosphere and servers were really nice.

I dont want to write this review because I dont want it to become overly popular but blaze deserves the praise and popularity. The food was excellent. It is the best Cuban sandwich in cincinnati hands down. There is nothing over the tip about the sandwich its just a very well made classic Cuban. The drinks were great. The bartender Tiara was great and friendly. They have a good selection of cigars. The atmosphere here is really well curated and really allows you to relax.

Amazing place! Im new to cigars and the gentleman (regret getting his name now) was nice and talked to me about choices for my flavor and educated me on some misconceptions. Great guy and very friendly conversation. I usually dont go out to bars or etc. But with the nice interior I plan on visiting sometime and just enjoying some time here.

First time there, Dallas,the bartender/manager was great. Theres also a gentleman (I forgot his name) that will help you select the right cigar to pair with your drink of choice. The ventilation was excellent so there wasnt a heavy blanket of smoke. My wife despises cigar or cigarette smoke but she was able to tolerate the atmosphere. ALSO youve got to order the wings.

Blaze cigar is a great cigar bar. Dallas the owner and bartender is a cool guy and very accommodating.Cigar selection is a little small but bourbon selection is pretty good.If you are near here just go. It is worth it!

Stopped here for a bachelor party and was disappointed after reading the other reviews. No one helped us pick cigars. The bartender was super slow. She was texting on her phone while we were standing at the bar, and she took about 15 minutes each time we tried to order drinks to even get to us. Only reason Im giving 2 stars is because of the atmosphere. It was well ventilated but thats about it.

Atmosphere in this classy cigar bar is super chill. Seating is comfortable and the bourbon is flowing. The ventilation is impressive, as is the humidor with a hand picked selection by the owner...perfect for the aficionado or someone wanting to be introduced to some fabulous cigars! I also enjoyed the Cuban music and the special take on coffee! Yum!

Very relaxing atmosphere and great customer service. If you’re a fan of an old fashioned this is the place to get it. Big shout out to the kitchen.My coworker and I ordered food late at night and the kitchen was very quick to accommodate. The Cuban sandwiches tasted amazing the presentation was excellent and to top it off the chef brought our food to us hot and fresh. She did an amazing job and you can tell she takes pride in what she does. Thank you for your delicious food and wonderful hospitality.

Had a nice time there. Ran into some guys from other states working construction in Concinnati area. Staff was friendly. Humidor selection not extensive, but the cigars they had were excellent. More of a bar with cigars than a lounge. Music with DJ made that the case.

Review №24

After many years of coming to the Cincinnati area on business there is finally a nice cigar lounge. It is very spacious, good ventilation and a very relaxing setting. The staff is friendly and the drinks are very reasonably priced compared to other places Ive been. Had a chance to chat with the owner Dallas who is a good guy and very knowledgeable about cigars. Check em out.

Laid back mellow atmosphere. A great place for a cigar, which I love. To quote Kipling; A woman is a woman but a cigar is a smoke!

Review №28

They dont have a menu of flavor profiles of their cigars. Someone walks into a room and asks what you want with very little knowledge.

Great lounge and laid back staff. Humidor is well stocked. Sticks are slightly pricey compared to other single purpose shops, but worth it for the convenience of bar, food and humidor in one location.

Really liked it. Great place to relax and smoke a cigar. I’d almost say it’s more of a bar. Pretty limited selection on cigars. I bought one out of respect but still ended up smoking one of my own. Best stick there was a leaf by Oscar. But the lounge is moving in the right direction.

Mi
Review №51

A small but carefully curated selection of cigars, many of which can be difficult to find elsewhere. Also a really nice liquor selection. Comfortable furniture and a few TVs that let you check in on the game without forcing their way into a good conversation. Knowledgeable, friendly staff make solid recommendations if youre on the fence.

Great place, a true cigar bar. A bar and a humidor side by side. Smoke inside or outside, good drinks, and good eats.

Review №61

Blaze is on my top 5 cigar bars. I travel quite a bit and I always feel welcome here like its my local bar. The staff is fantastic and knowledgeable. They have consistently had a good selection of burbon, the coffee is off the hook and even though they dont have the biggest humidor, they always seem to have something I want to smoke. Even though my business Im here for is in Ohio, I always stay in Newport so I can go to Blaze.

Review №67

The best lounge in NKY. Cigar smokers don’t have much access to quality indoor lounges. Blaze offers us a spacious and friendly locale to relax, watch tv, indulge in spirits or coffee and meet new like-minded people. Dallas, the owner, hired knowledgeable and kind stewards to guide and serve the guests. Austin and Joe keep the conversation lively and they aren’t shy to pour a good bourbon. After a half dozen visits, this is my wintertime go-to!

This was an ok experience. I liked the cigars. They dont offer a lot of drinking choices, which I understand its not a bar.I would like to see a martini selection. I know this is a Bourbon area but sometimes Vodka with a cigar is fantastic!! Especially when its warm.( couldnt figure out how to reply to response to ownwe)
