Cigar Lounge Chairs

Perfect For: A posh addition to any formal living room

What We Like: The button-tufting on the sides adds a sense of old-fashioned elegance

Featuring a boxy silhouette, this cigar smoking chair is upholstered in rich vegan leather. The square arms contain traditional nailhead trim along the tops and sides. The backrest is filled with polypropylene fiber while the seat contains pocket springs for added structure and comfort while sitting.  

Here’s the moral of the story: as long as you nod to its tradition, you can still incorporate cigar lounge furniture without spoiling your more contemporary decor.

Look at this creative model, for example! By removing the bottom part and replacing it with an open design, it achieved a streamlined look with a touch of industrial charm.

Perfect For: A classically decorated living room or home library space

What We Like: The removable cushions make for seamless maintenance

Not So Good For: Those on a tight budget

Made to order, this cigar lounge furniture chair is bulky in shape as it measures 48 inches wide. It sits on four ornamental walnut feet with a strong frame crafted out of solid wood. The brown faux leather saddle upholstery, round arms, and brass nailhead trim allow for a vintage and well-loved feel.  

Perfect For: A mid-century modern living space

What We Like: The genuine leather

Showcasing camel colored upholstery, this cigar room chair is crafted on a solid wood frame with tapered rod feet in a similar hue for a cohesive look. It features a low-profile back, square arms and a seat cushion with biscuit-tufting that’s filled with sinuous springs.  

Choosing a shorter model rather than a throne design is also a godsend in smaller rooms or in seating areas where your new chair wouldn’t be placed against the wall.

Not only will it make them appear wider than they actually are, but it also wouldn’t get in the way of your room’s visual flow, maintaining an airy feel.

A typical cigar chair will immediately introduce a sense of sophistication that’s bound to impress all of your guests.

While you can always use it as an additional seat next to your living room furniture, this type of chair can also help you define a separate corner (for example, as a reading nook or next to your bar area) or even complement the desk in your office.

Most traditional cigar chairs are a natural match in period-based interiors.

However, you can choose to further emphasize your vintage inspiration by looking for even bolder models, especially if you’re planning on using your new chair as an accent.

Harmonious shapes and heavily ornate details (like carved legs) are a great starting point.

Here are some of the tricks to make a cigar chair work in a more contemporary home.

First of all, lose the throne design and opt for smaller models with cleaner lines.

Secondly, get creative with colors: instead of the usual warm or dark leather finishes, choose a monochrome style in a bright hue from your room’s existing palette.

There’s no denying that a cigar chair in darker finishes is usually the most impressive when it comes to achieving a fancy vibe. If you’re using it as an accent or pairing it up with some lighter living room furniture, it could be exactly what’s missing in your home.

However, keep in mind that dark finishes can also make a small space look tinier: if that would be the case in your compact living room or if you already have a dark sofa, it’d be safer to opt for lighter chairs.

You didn’t think that your passion for traditional cigar chairs meant having to give up modern comforts, did you? Some of these armchairs are actually designed to include relaxing reclining features.

Don’t forget to leave a wider spot for them, though! In fact, you must always check the dimensions of your new armchair when it’s fully reclined, which is why this type of cigar chair wouldn’t really work in a corner or against the wall.

Yes, we know: cigar chairs are usually made of leather. But what if you already have plenty of leather furniture and another piece would run the risk of making it look too heavy? What if budget is one of your main concerns? Or perhaps you were hoping for a more casual and cozier feel?

In that case, it wouldn’t hurt to choose fabric upholstery instead.

Don’t worry: everyone will still be able to tell that it’s a cigar chair as long as you maintain some elements from its most iconic designs, such as a tufted back or a nailhead trim.

To celebrate traditions while still showcasing your creativity and decorative flair, consider a cigar armchair in a design that strays away from the most common ones.

You could still maintain a leather finish or nailhead trim, for example… but how about some dynamic-looking arms, like in this stylish model?

Intrigued by the reclining options? Some cigar armchairs actually take them to the next level.

For example, if you or the person you’re buying it for suffers from back pain or reduced movement, we recommend scouting for one that includes a practical motor lift feature.
