Capital Cigar Lounge (CapitalCigar.com) isn’t your grandfather’s smoky cigar den, it’s where modern connection meets timeless tradition. Built on the idea that great things happen when people come together, the lounge was created as a space where real conversations thrive, ideas flow freely, and meaningful relationships are formed. Co-founders Tony Goins and Austin Hillis envisioned more than just a cigar bar. With the unconditional support from Kimberly (Tony’s wife) and Natalie (Austin’s wife), Capital Cigar Lounge has grown in business and spread to the community with the help of Tony and Austin’s over the years.
They’ve built a community hub where people from all walks of life alike can unplug, relax, and enjoy authentic face-to-face moments in a refined, comfortable setting with young and old patrons, sharing stories, knowledge and learning over a shared cigar.
Step away from the screens, the hustle of the everyday and step into a lounge filled with not just cigars, but signature cocktails, a wide selection fine wines and carefully crafted beers.
Featuring a curated selection of 15,000 cigars, Capital Cigar Lounge brings world-class quality to Lincoln with a local, hospitable environment. It’s a place where conversations matter, connections are made, and every visit feels like a much-needed pause from the daily grind.
With its upscale design, fresh air ventilation, and warm Midwest hospitality, Capital Cigar offers the perfect blend of luxury and approachability. Whether you’re catching up with a friend over a premium cigar, joining a networking event, or just taking a break from the digital noise, the lounge invites everyone to feel welcome. The main Crux Cigar lounge is open to the public, while an exclusive members-only Casdagli Cigar offers added perks for those seeking a more private experience. Membership includes phone app entry making the lounge available 20 hours a day, access to an on-site cigar locker, unlimited access to their conference room (which is also available to anyone by the hour) so your business can enjoy the lounge while making puffs toward success.
What truly matters at the Capital Cigar Lounge are the relationships made. Between staff and customers or simply between patrons, connections are made every day. You can enjoy this lounge without partaking in the cigars as there is so much more to offer. And, don’t worry about the smoke, they have a complex air filtration system so smoke doesn’t linger; these systems pump fresh air back into the lounge.
Let Capital Cigar Lounge overcome your perceptions. There is no hazy atmosphere you need to squint through and your grandfather isn’t chain smoking in the corner.
