This so happen to be the third cigar shop I stopped by while in Odessa & by far one of the best cigar lounges Ive stumbled upon. The customer service was phenomenal. The staff & owners were very knowledgeable about recommending a stick & drink that pairs well together. Will definitely be returning while Im in town!

Hemingway has been a great experience for me, there is cigars in pretty much any price range and the drinks of course are excellent. Bar tenders in my experience are friendly and experienced and weekends they have live music or shows which was also a neat experience, only thing I didnt like was the fact that they dont have top shelf whiskey for someone looking to spend serious money on drinks

Poor service And staff was not very friendly Yeah acted like I was a bother when I asked for things. To be more specific I was looking at the Humidors and had to ask two different staff about pricing which then took some time to get and neither could give me any details on them. Additionally when I asked the staff member at the check out about a specific size of Boveda pack I was curtly told that you did not have them and nothing about when they would be available or if they ever would be.

It looks very nice. It looks like it has potential. The website lists a food menu. When I finally found the place (GPS was no help) I inquired about dining and was told that their kitchen isnt finished yet. When I told him the website indicated that dining is available, his response was that he aint got nothing to do with the website.

Care For A Smoke And A Drink? Then The Hemingway is the place to go with their great variety cigars, draft, bottle, cocktails, and wine theyll be something for everyone to enjoy. Add a relaxing lounge area with couches and seats youve got a great friends hangout spot. Did I forget to mention the live music after 7pm? Come down and support your local music artist in this must experience environment.

A great relaxing place to unwind after the day. Not too much smoke even though its technically a cigar bar. The drinks are more sophisticated than beer but beer is still offered if preferred. With occasional music being played by a live band, this place becomes more inviting than most establishments in the area.

This place is awesome. Excellent cigar collection, and several great pipe tobacco flavors. Definitely worth going here to find something great.

Decent place to smoke a cigar and have a drink. The attendant (only 1 there on a Tuesday night as far as I could tell) was friendly enough and helpful. She didnt know much about cigars, but knew the prices. That was the issue. Everything was extremely overpriced. There are cheaper cigars, but the $16-18 stick I normally smoke was $23. I was going to buy a lighter for 30-50, but they were priced at 50-80. This is not just 10% more, thats 35-50% more. I know the prices elsewhere, at small towns TX cigar lounges, at big city lounges, and online. 3 of us came in and i paid the bill. I spent nearly $100 for 3 cigars and 4 beers (we only ordered 3 beers, but we drank the 4th when it was poured so I paid for it.) I felt the prices were far too high.There are other lounges in Odessa and Midland. I will try them next time and continue to inform consumers here of my opinion.Response: My only negative comment was about your prices... we were friendly and respectful to the employee and had no encounter with other patrons. I felt like your response was a bit whiny. I also read other responses to reviews of your place.. It would be better for your business to be more positive and professional - or dont reply at all. You could have written, Todd, Im sorry you werent pleased with our prices. I hope you will return and continue to spend hundreds in the future. I hope when youre in Odessa that you dont seek out other places to drop them Benjamins.

Cool venue. It has a different aesthetic than the one in Midland, which speaks to the different ethoses of the two cities. That being said, if you want dark wood panelled walls with matching red faux leather Victorianesque Parlor chairs all set in quite a small floor plan, then the Midland Hemingways is where you want to go. If you want a more contemporary setting with live music, and a blue-collar friendly vibe, then the Odessa Hemingways is where you want to go.

Great atmosphere, good prices and selection of whiskey and cigars, and the new food menu is delicious! The blueberry salsa sweet potato fries and breadless wings fail to trigger my celiac disease, so I would recommend to others with mild to moderate gluten intolerances (or anyone really). Also the best place in town to order an Old Fashioned. Check in on facebook and you may get 10% off tobacco or food purchases.

If you have a passion for cigars, this is the best place in the area to purchase and enjoy them. The owner is knowledgeable and always willing to talk cigars with his customers. Ive asked on several occasions for his recommendations on certain types of cigars and hes always on point. The prices arent overly inflated like everything youd expect in the area and the rewards program encourages you to return. It truly is a gem in a town where everything is expensive and has poor customer service. Honestly look forward to every visit I make to this place. Great job running this establishment.

Visited durng COVID, only retail was open. Plus I think you could get a pizza, I was there for sticks only. Nice guy behind the counter. Hand saniztier as soon as you walked in. They worked to be social and inviting. Wish them the best of luck after this is all over.

Great lounge to hang with friends, business assoc. etc. Entertainment is always an enjoyable plus & the Staff has always been very friendly and welcoming. It’s always clean & perfect ventilation for a Cigar Bar. Aaron has made us feel welcome from day one & he’s always helpful & knowledgeable about the cigar products. He remembers his customers preferences & makes you feel like you’re coming home to see an old friend, every visit. Some times you just hate to tell everyone about the little “town jewel” and keep it to yourself. But in this case they really deserve to be recognized.

Good atmosphere, live music, friendly staff. The smoke upon first entering is a bit much; however it is a cigar shop as well as it is a bar. The smoke inside is a testament to its success and popularity. Though somewhat small on the inside, the space is well managed and there is no cluttered feeling. Everything from the cigars to the drink menu felt well priced, even for west texas standards. The drinks were good of course, but unfortunatly beyond the drink menu mixed drinks were a complexity. However; the bar staffs friendliness well over made up for it. All in all this place is as charming as Hemingway himself.

I had what seemed like a racist experience on Friday of dec.28. I go in the store about once a month. Some Hispanic guy ask me for my i.d i am 58 years old and a black man. I buy at least one to five cigars when Im there. This guy said he needs to my i.d. To keep my self from going off on this guy i had to keep my cool and let him see it. The next time i am in the store i will talk to the owner or his manger.I have never been ask before so it seemed like he picked me because of my color. I will be returning to the store soon.

Review №61

Its a small tiny cigar shop not even quaint, which boast about having a great selection but theyre limited in their selection. Who keeps their supplies so low that they literally have two cigars left in the container? I mean really are you selling cigars or storing them? A smoker myself doesnt appreciate that when a person tells them a low price quote over the phone fails in order to tell them that they carry micro sized cigars. Im on to your game! Really? I didnt appreciate the experience.
