Ash & Ale Lounge (formerly The Humidor)

In town to visit the in-laws and found this cigar shop to sneak away for the afternoon. The place is clean inside and out with a decent selection of beer wine and port. The service from the owners daughter was great. She was friendly and held a good conversation. Ventilation was good even in the relatively small indoor space with 5-6 other people smoking cigars at the same time. The other customers were also friendly to speak with and offered great suggestions on some other cigars. I was supposed to fly out yesterday, but Frontier made us miss our flights, so I’ll be making another stop here today to relax with another smoke. Thanks Ash and Ale!

So many great changes with the new owners. Local music featured weekly, organized monthly events for members and guests, , location is awesome surrounded by restaurants/local shops, not to mention an excellent cigar selection. Customers are like family and very inviting 10/10 recommend!

Went there today for a few drinks. My husband had a few beers, and I had the Circus Cabernet, which BTW - I highly recommend. So smooth. I wish I had taken more pics because we absolutely loved this place. The perfect place to relax with a drink and/or cigar. We're visiting Palm Coast this week for vacation, and sitting here at this lounge was by far the most relaxing part of our week! The staff was really nice and friendly. We loved the chill vibe.

Love this place. One of my favorite places to go when back in Palm Coast. Nice selection of cigars in an even nicer setting.

Great selections. Wonderful people working and hanging around. Sit outside and people gawk 👀 😆 and enjoy your cigar and a fresh glass of red or a beer.

Kenn & Mack were absolutely fantastic! They provided incredible suggestions & truly made me feel at home. I’ll certainly make this my go to spot when I’m visiting Palm Coast!

Nice, friendly service. Good selection of beers and wine. Will definitely be back.

A few important things to consider before reading this review:

*I been going to the place here and there for years when it was The Humidor.
*The Humidor at opening was well run with a solid cigar selection.
*Last few times I went into The Humidor a few years back the selection became worse, it appeared it was not well run with little oversight from the previous owner (at least from my perspective).
*The Humidor just became Ash & Ale with a new ownership change.

Long story short: Ash & Ale is a complete 180 from the last few years of The Humidor in my opinion.

A great cigar store/lounge must have a hands-on tobacconist running the shop with a speciality. Speciality for Ash & Ale is well they serve beer and wine only (no liquor). I seen the owner working with a wine vendor previously on trying to find wines that can go well with his location and some of the cigars that they carry. I am not really a beer with a cigar type of guy, but a recommendation from the owner on a beer with a Connecticut wrapped cigar was dead-on delicious. The owner was also dead on with a cigar recommendation regarding strength.

Selection is solid with Patróns, CAO, and other common cigars with a few non-common ones to boot (they had the more higher end Didier Cigars in stock, which are worth it to try if you have the $). Seems selection changes here and there, which is good. For the size of the lounge the amount of cigars is sufficient. Prices are also sufficient since it is a lounge that also serve beer and wine.

Atmosphere is relaxed, with events here and there. It isn't a lounge where you need a club membership that cost tons of $ with a dress code since you might be lacking in size and to really enjoy the place, thank goodness. Ash & Ale does have memberships, which benefits includes a locker and discounts. Also this is a real tobacco shop with an Indian statue inside (you will understand if you understand tobacco history). They don't sell pipe tobacco (since it is a cigar lounge), but honestly I don't think the owner would have a problem if you bring your pipe tobacco and tins and smoke it in your briar. I know Palm Coast have a few pipe tobacco smokers.

Will be coming back a lot more when I move back to Palm Coast full time in a few months.

I live in Chicago, but anytime I'm in town I come to Ash and Ale. It's the best cigar bar I've ever been to. The owners, Kenn and Kim are two of the nicest people I've ever met. It's a very relaxing place with a great selection of cigars and beverages.

Ash and Ale is like a home away from home. Friendly customer service … always! They have a great selection and their experts will help whether you are a novice or a connoisseur. They also have an excellent selection of beer and wine to go with your cigar. There are always friends on the patio or in the bar … It’s our favorite place to hang out in the European Village!

So last night 8 of us stopped in for a cocktail. We ended up staying for hours. Had a blast sitting out side listening to the music provided in the pavilion it was amazing.Definitely recommend this place as the new owner was so accommodating. My husband enjoyed a great cigar as well🥰 we all will be back!!!

Family like atmosphere. Something for all levels of smokers. Very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.

What a great place to spend an evening having a beer and a cigar, listening to great music and enjoying the company of new friends. The owner,Ken, is awesome and very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend this place!

Swung by this place a few time. Before and after the new owners and after. Before it was always a hippy dippy place where if you had questions you had to interrupt someone on their phones or locate someone. After was kind of a shock - we were greeted friendly and spoken to first. We had folks inquiring if we need help and offering to assist. Even the other folks in the place were friendly. Well worth the return trip.

Very nice events

Though I do smoke cigars, I have many friends that do. The staff and owners are friendly and helpful. We always have a great time when visiting!

Excellent spot to relax and enjoy. Kenn is very knowledgeable and will guide you to the perfect cigar based on your preferences. The drink selection is excellent, whether you're looking for a beer or a bottle of wine and the atmosphere is chill and enjoyable to sit and enjoy your selection

CIGAR HOME AWAY FROM HOME! For those of you, like me, who enjoy a good cigar and great conversation while on vacation. I highly recommended this place. The owner Ken and staff go out of their away to make you welcome here in Palm Coast. The restaurants of European Village where it is located are the icing on the cake. Great selection of cigars along with beer and wine.

Great place to relax, have a cigar, and a drink with wonderful people. The owners are great. A must to check out!

Been here a few times. Always a great time. Great atmosphere and even better staff. So friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back.

It’s the “Cheers” of Palm Coast where everybody knows your name. Come in, sit down, relax and converse while enjoying a nice cigar and a cold adult beverage.
