Cigar aficionados can light up at a new lounge now open in the foothills of Tucson.
La Maison El Septimo Cigar Lounge & Bar recently opened in 3,200 square feet at 6866 E. Sunrise Drive in Ventana Village Shopping Center.
Dave Hammack, with Picor, represented the landlord.
Cigar lounge owner Scott Miller said the lounge is named after the cigar brand El Septimo, and 40% of the space is reserved for members.
The $350 monthly membership provides discounts on cigars and drinks and private room reservations.
The rest of the space is open to the public.
Smoking is allowed indoors because no food will be served.
The cigars are from Costa Rica and come in 42 varieties at a cost of $10 to $84 per cigar.
Miller said the taste is unique because no pesticide or fertilizer is used on the tobacco.
The lounge is open Sundays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to midnight.
