Top Cigar Bars In Philadelphia

Cigars are sometimes looked at as status symbols and are often associated with a male's rite of passage. It comes as no surprise then that some of history's most influential folks were known to have enjoyed a good smoke now and again -- men such as Winston Churchill, Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain, George Burns, Rudyard Kipling and Ulysses S. Grant, and perhaps even a few ladies as well. For Philly gents & ladies who like the lounge scene just as much as they love cigars, here are some great local places to relax with your stogie.
