Entering a fine cigar bar is like stepping into the past to a time when smoking a good cigar was a pleasure that many enjoyed. Luckily, this old timey feel can still be found here in Detroit at some great establishments.

With this combination, you can sit and enjoy a cigar that has been stored at the precise temperature and humidity while you sip from a glass of your favorite wine. It does not get much better than this.

The Godfather Cigar & Martini Lounge

Rochester Hills, MI 48306
(248) 652-1400

When a cigar bar has a name like The Godfather, you know that it means business. Of course, there is the walk-in humidor filled with top shelf cigars, but at The Godfather you will find much more. First, this establishment houses two different lounges—one guests see when they first walk in and another private lounge on the upper level. Events range from ladies night and service worker night to belly dancing shows, live music and more. Nosh on simple hors d'oeuvres of shrimp cocktail or cheese platters while sipping on a martini atop one of the comfy leather sofas.
