Nestled in the heart of Jeffersonville, Indiana, just across the river from downtown Louisville, Riverside Cigar Shop and Lounge has become more than just a destination—it’s a community. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or just beginning to explore the world of premium cigars, Riverside has a way of making you feel like you’ve arrived.
In this post, we’re diving into what makes Riverside Cigar Shop a favorite among locals and travelers alike—from its unmatched cigar selection to the vibe that keeps people coming back.
A Humidor That Delivers
First things first: the cigars. When you walk into Riverside, you’re met with a climate-controlled walk-in humidor stocked with an expertly curated selection. From world-renowned brands to boutique, small-batch releases, Riverside carries something for every palate.
Some crowd favorites you’ll find:
- Arturo Fuente Opus X
- Roma Craft Tobac
- Drew Estate blends
- Padron 1926 & 1964 series
- Crowned Heads
- Foundation Cigars
- And hard-to-find sticks like Rare Pink, Viaje, and Fosforo
The inventory rotates frequently, so there’s always something new to discover. And if you’re searching for something rare, chances are we either have it—or know how to get it.
A Lounge Built for Conversation
Sure, a cigar shop can sell you a stick, but not every place invites you to stay awhile. That’s where Riverside shines.
Our upscale lounge area features plush seating, large TVs, and a welcoming vibe that encourages you to slow down and enjoy. It’s the kind of place where conversations start between strangers and friendships are formed over shared taste and good smoke.
Whether you’re:
- Watching the game with friends
- Hosting a client for a laid-back business chat
- Or just escaping the daily grind
Riverside is your go-to space to unwind.
Live Music, Events & Pairings
What sets Riverside apart isn’t just the cigars—it’s the atmosphere. Regular events include:
- Live blues and jazz nights
- Cigar and bourbon pairings
- Tasting events featuring regional distilleries
- Special releases and exclusive product drops
It’s more than a shop—it’s a destination for entertainment and elevated relaxation. Keep an eye on our event calendar or follow us on Instagram to see what’s coming up next.
Staff That Knows Their Stuff
Walking into a cigar lounge can be intimidating if you’re new. At Riverside, we pride ourselves on creating a no-pressure, judgment-free space where our staff takes the time to learn what you like and guide you to your next favorite cigar.
Whether you’re asking:
- “What’s the best cigar under $15?”
- “How do I cut and light this properly?”
- Or “What pairs well with a wheated bourbon?”
You’ll get thoughtful, informed answers—and maybe even a few laughs along the way.
The Best Patio in the Area
Our covered outdoor patio is a year-round favorite. Heated in the winter, breezy in the summer, it’s the perfect place to sit back, sip your drink, and enjoy the riverfront air with your favorite smoke.
Many of our regulars claim it’s one of the best-kept secrets in Southern Indiana. Bring your friends or meet a few new ones—either way, the vibe is always relaxed, comfortable, and cigar-friendly.
