Ceniza Lounge

Well now that you can't smoke anywhere in Pasadena (No Bars, Patios or Restaraunts, not even outside) where will I smoke favorite cigar. Well the people behind Ceniza Cigar Lounge got it right. This place has a full liquor menu and a great humidor. They say, ""It is the only place you can have a smoke and order a cocktail in Pasadena"". Wow what a concept. The waitress are good looking and friendly and the cigar staff is very knowledgable. They have great ambiance and Latin Jazz playing most nights. I took a date there and felt comfortable (she doesn't smoke). Thurs. and Fri. they have a cigar roller (she is hot) that rolls their own cigar. pretty cool. Awesome spot to hang and watch the crowd. And the night we were there Manny Ramirez from the Dodgers came by. Even Cooler. Pros: Only Place to Smoke & Drink in Pasadena Cons: Parking more

Nice place.. I am a regular at this place. I also enjoy the party's they throw. I have a great time everytime!! Hope to see you here!! Hidden gem in PASEO!! Pros: FULL BAR COMING SOON!! Cons: NO BAR BUT COMING SOON!! SO NO CONS!! more

A friend recommended this place. And I have to say, this is one of the best, if not the best Cigar Bar I have visited in the US. Once they get a liquor license it will rank among the best globally, (to include Cuba). It has the look & feel of a very upscale smoking establishment, but with a down home ""Southern"" friendliness. I now make this a weekly stop. It is surrounded by nice eateries, wine cafes and the ""Jazz Institute"" within a few feet of its doors. Oh, and fella's, let's not forget those beautiful Ceniza Ladies!! This is one spot ""You Just Have To Experience""!! Pros: Its all Good !! Cons: No Liquor license yet more

Ive been to a lot of cigar lounges in LA. Most are just cash and carry - where you can' just hang out with friends. This place is completely different. They have a lot of room - lots of cigars - LCD monitors everywhere showing ESPN. And there are good looking girls there too - which I have never seen at any cigar lounge. I went to have dinner at Delmonicos across the way from Ceniza - and discovered this gem. Keep up the good work - we need more of these in LA. more

My cousins and I like to try new places throughout the valley to try to find a new hangout. I had heard of a place out in Pasadena that was real cool to hang out at and have a smoke. Needless to say we are all ladies and don't smoke cigars on a regular basis. So we walked in a little apprehensive. However, we were greated with open arms by the patrons as well as the staff. The gentlemen at the counter suggested a great Java Waffe cigar with a shot of espresso that melted in my mouth. This is our new hangout, because of the open layout and the ventilation system we feel real comfortable sitting in our usual corner and talking girl talk. Pros: Ventilation , Friendly, Large Cons: Cold , Parking more

A friend recommended this place to check out after grabbing some drinks at the yardhouse. Right off the bat the workers ARE BEYOND FRIENDLY. My biggest fear was to be bombarded by ""cigar snobs"" and I would have to fake what I don't know. Right off the bat they took me into a huge glass room filled with shelves of cigars and helped guide me to the right cigar to fit my tastes and price range. Also, the decor and layout of the place is very high class yet warm at the same time. Now the most amazing part was that there is a ventilation system built in where the smell of smoke escapes away and doesn't leave you smelling like cigar smoke. Perfect place to escape the wifey or even bring the wifey and she won't even smell a thing. I will definitely be coming back Pros: friendly workers, comfortable, ventilation system more

I've toured around the United States on business and have been to many lounges, but Ceniza is one of the most comfortable and friendly places I've ever been in. It's a nice upscale lounge with a state of the art ventilation system so even non-smokers can hang out there with their friends. I absolutely loved it! Pros: Comfortable, Friendly, Nice Cigars Cons: Only One Location more

As you enter Ceniza you immediately feel that this a place you want to sit down, relax and have a good smoke. The decor creates a very welcoming atmosphere. The walk-in humidor has a fantastic selection of cigars at very reasonable prices. Everything from economy sticks to exquisite cigars from around the world. As an added bonus, for those looking for a place to take clients and/or keep some/all of their own supply, they have a VIP lounge with it's, again, welcoming decor, large screen TV and private lockers. In addition, they have a great selection of accessories. Highly recommended to all those who enjoy the occassional (or regular) smoke. Pros: Atmosphere, Cigar selection more

A nice place to hang out--great selection of cigars and helpful staff, which makes the selection process less intimidating. It's in Paseo Colorado, so you can add Ceniza to a night at Paseo's shopping, restaurants and bars. more
