Maxis Cigar Lounge

Great place to relax for a cigar. Excellent environment to relax with great people. The members are very nice. This cigar place makes you feel like you are home. Many televisions to watch, hot coffee and cold water.

Guy (assuming he was the owner) in here was super helpful. I don’t really know much about cigars but he was extremely helpful in recommending something to me and even gave me a small discount. I was just stopping in to pick up some cigars so I didn’t see the back room, but it looked pretty exclusive and well-​kept.

Very friendly owner. Great selection of good cigars. Rocky Patel seems a favorite here. Cigars are well conditioned. Fair prices. I took mine to go but I think they have a private, members only lounge.

Great local place with very eclectic and friendly regulars. This place seems to cater to regular blue collar gentleman that enjoy great smokes socializing. They have a great reasonably priced selection and plenty of comfortable seating all facing plenty if TV’s. The owner Jack is a great guy and very knowledgeable about cigars. I went to a Rocky Patel event there. I purchased a box of cigars, got my picture taken with Rocky Patel, he autographed my box and I got 5 free cigars. Even though I don’t live close I plan on becoming a member here. Great place and well run! Good job!

Great little neighborhood place. Although there are some guys and gals that travel a bit to get there. I was a J Barbera refuge after they closed down and I tried Maxis. Different texture, but warm and welcoming. The prices are New York street prices, meaning way too much tax, but that is part of what pays for a nice warm place to have a cigar in the winter time. There are seven or eight televisions, so you can watch most anything you want, and the refrigerator always has cold water and some other drinks.
Their cigar selection slants towards Rocky Patel. I actually met Rocky there at a holiday party at Maxis this last winter. They do carry a good selection of Padron, Fuente, Ashton, and etc. There is a great pipe group that meets on Friday nights and Maxis carries a pretty good selection of pipe tobacco also.

Disappointed. First and second visits you’re ok to go into the lounge third time you’re out unless you pay for membership. Now if it was the Carltun or the Havana club fine. But this is a hole in the wall in Franklin Square among many higher quality open policied humidors. Delusional in status.
Bought a Padrón principe anniversary $ 17 which are usually $ 15. It was $ 2 more than even the finer humidors in Nassau county. Delusional pricing. The lounge was small crowded and there was barely any ventilation. It was do dark it felt like a crack house. Water bottles stacked nearly to the ceiling. The Padrón cigar too was not up to par, I smoke these regularly and I know it’s flavor profile. These were not kept right. The humidor seemed over humidified too.
On the plus side I saw they had a good selection of cigars, but if the Pardon was an indicator, you might be disappointed.
Better humidors in the area are J Barbera Tobacconist, Matador, Tobacco Plaza, if you’re further east Hicksville Humidor is small but very nice.
First and last time there definitely.

The shop caters to a decidedly male clientele, however staff and patrons were all polite and friendly in the presence of ladies (there was one besides yours truly). The humidor is well stocked and the lounge in back is well equipped and set up for comfort and enjoyment. A nice spot to enjoy a stick with friends.

Very friendly welcoming crowd has big lounge area in the back. I come during the day on Friday and Saturday it is never too busy but there is always great atmosphere.
