Cigar Secret: Kuala Lumpur’s Unique Concept Cigar Lounge

If you’re a cigar enthusiast seeking a unique experience, Cigar Secret in Kuala Lumpur’s upscale Bangsar district might just be your next favourite destination. Combining modern aesthetics with an innovative membership concept, this lounge redefines the way cigars are enjoyed in Malaysia.

A Contemporary Ambience with a Warm Touch

Cigar Secret breaks away from traditional cigar lounge norms. Instead of the usual dark wood and leather Chesterfields, the lounge features industrial ceilings, concrete floors, and contemporary furniture. Red bookshelves adorned with empty cigar tubes, books, and modern art add a splash of colour and creativity to the space. Blue LED-lit staircases lead you into a warm and inviting environment, capable of seating about 50 guests. The tasteful LED lighting enhances its modern vibe without compromising on coziness.

The Unique Membership Concept

What sets Cigar Secret apart is its accessible membership model. For an annual fee of just 99 ringgit* (approximately USD 22 or EUR 21), members receive 25 complimentary cigars. The collection rotates regularly, offering premium choices such as the Oliva Serie G Churchill, Tatuaje El Sueno, and Drew Estate La Viaje Habano. And it’s this concept that made me write this article, instead of just adding Cigar Secret to another ‘Vibrant cigar scene of Kuala Lumpur’ article

Flexible Usage

Members can redeem up to three complimentary cigars per visit and enjoy them on-site. To make Cigar Secret profitable, there is an hourly lounge usage fee of 18 ringgit (around USD 4 or EUR 4), which includes access to free coffee, soft drinks, and light snacks. Remarkably, first-time visitors enjoy free hours, making it an excellent option for tourists looking for a relaxed environment to savour their cigars if you spend enough time to smoke two or three cigars.

BYOB and Perks for Guests

For those who enjoy pairing cigars with alcohol, Cigar Secret’s BYOB policy is a game-changer. Guests can bring their own bottles and store them at the lounge for a nominal corkage fee of 10 ringgit per visit. Friends are also welcome for a fee of 25 ringgit per hour (minimum two hours), with access to complimentary refreshments, unless they sign up. Non-cigar smoking friends can enter for free, while still enjoying the free drinks.

Attracting a Diverse Crowd

This innovative model has introduced cigars to a broader audience, including a growing number of women trying their first cigars. The welcoming atmosphere and affordability make it an appealing spot for beginners and seasoned smokers alike. While Sundays are quieter and soon to be non-operational, the rest of the week sees a lively mix of patrons.

The CG Secret App: Convenience at Your Fingertips

Cigar Secret’s seamless operation is supported by its dedicated app, CG Secret. Available on both the App Store and Play Store, the app allows members to scan their QR codes upon entry, track lounge hours, redeem cigars, and manage payments through pre-purchased credits.

More Cigars, More Rewards

When members exhaust their initial set of free cigars, they can purchase additional cigars from the walk-in humidor, which boasts an impressive selection of New World and Cuban cigars at reasonable prices. Additionally, members earn extra free cigars as they log more hours: 25 cigars after 50 hours, 25 more after 100 hours, and a generous 100 cigars upon reaching 150 hours.

Referral Incentives

Cigar Secret also rewards members for referrals. Mystery gifts await those who sign up new members, with tiered rewards starting at three referrals and increasing at milestones of six, ten, twenty, and fifty sign-ups. Don’t forget to use code TP5617196 if you decide to join, helping Inspector X to unlock his next reward!
