One of Edinburgh's best kept secrets.  Not just for cigar lovers - great wine, whisky, cocktail selection.  And I live the charcuterie and cheese boards.  Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.  or an evening - especially when live music on.  Become our 'go to' place!

Edinburgh now proudly hosts a haven for cigar aficionados – a much-awaited addition to the city's scene. As a longtime admirer of the Liverpool Puffin' Rooms, I am thrilled to see this esteemed brand make its mark in Edinburgh.

The culinary experience here is exceptional, complemented by an impressive array of drinks. But the real gem for me is the stunning humidor. It's not just a visual delight; it's a carefully curated collection of my personal favorites, ranging from affordably priced Cuban cigars to the more luxurious, high-end selections.

It's important to note that this humidor is an exclusive LCDH (La Casa del Habano) spot, offering only Cuban cigars. This suits my preferences perfectly. So, whenever you're in Edinburgh, there's a high chance you'll spot me enjoying a Montecristo No. 2, my cigar of choice.

We attended on Saturday evening. My friend is a seasoned cigar smoker and very knowledgeable, I’m more of a novice but this place catered for both of us perfectly. 

The bar area has a nice chilled atmosphere and sleek look. The smoking area is cosy and classy and very comfortable to sit and relax in for hours. 

They have a solid range of whisky and gins and the service was impeccable. We ordered a couple of beers, but staff advised they weren’t perfectly chilled and provide another recommendation. The service was very attentive but not over bearing at all. 

Harry the cigar guru, was fantastic and provided us with a really personable service and gave us some great recommendations on what to smoke. The humidor is stunning and is well stocked with Cuban cigars. Sadly no new world (licensing reasons) but Harry has a phenomenal knowledge of cigars to suit every flavour profile and gave solid and informed advice. 

A fantastic place that really stands out in the Edinburgh bar scene, a hidden gem and we’ll definitely be back. If you enjoy a cigar and relaxed drink you can’t do better than this place.

Price wise it’s reasonable and in line with the service and quality you receive.

Only advice to improve would be better booking system online as only seem to be able to do that for Liverpool and not Edinburgh. Love this place!

Discovered puffin rooms through a friend and it is one of the best experiences I have had in recent months. 1st the bar itself is stunning, it looks amazing blending old and new and once your go inside you get to see a brilliant humidor with also a brilliant whisky store as well. Once you sit down you then get to experience the amazing service and selection on offer. We were looked after by Harry and his knowledge over whisky and cigars is brilliant. We were looked after all night and never felt like too much trouble. For all those cigar smokers the set up outside is comfortable, spacious and delivers exactly what you would wish for.

Overall thank you Harry and the The Puffin Rooms, I am new fan and will be back

Visited the Puffin Rooms as my husband and brother in law are big cigar fans. Wasn’t sure what to expect as my sister and I are not. Overall it was a fantastic experience, the place was lovely and we had our own little corner to have dinner. The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff were all so nice and welcoming, they couldn’t do enough for us. We then sat out on the cigar terrace which was heated and had a very relaxing ambiance. The cocktails were also very very good! The dessert chocolate mousse that looked like a cigar was amazing!

This was my 3rd or 4th visit to this incredible place but the first time at a 'formal' event. I use the term formal loosely because despite this place looking like it should be in Kensington its the most relaxed and welcoming lounge you'll visit.

The event had two very high end Cuban cigars and four fantastic Stella Dhu whiskies all hosted by its owner no less. Add in some of the most amazing snacks imaginable and you have a fantastic event for a crazy price of £60. We sat outside on a very cold November night with coats off due to the excellent outdoor heating and shelter.

Special thanks to Harry who compared the night with absolute aplomb.
