Orange County has the national reputation of being home to beautiful beaches full of glassy-eyed starlets and Disney Land. In fact, most of the OC is much less
exciting, full of dreary strip malls and cookie-cutter McMansions. In Aliso Viejo- the heart of the “Orange Curtain”, there is a place that family men go to escape for a short time.
Cigar Oasis is not a new shop, but it is under new management. Wayne took over a short
while ago, and set about restoring the shop to its’ potential. The cash register has been moved and counter
shrunk, giving you more space to move about the front lounge. The humidor is packed with name-brands, and
the whole place is clean and tastefully decorated.
The rear lounge is what Oasis was always known for, but it has been completely redone. The worn
furniture and giant (dim) projector are gone, replaced with several small seating areas and well placed flat-screen TV’s.
A good lounge made great, Cigar Oasis is a welcome retreat from the Big Box stores and hustle of the OC lifestyle.
Cigar Oasis is located at 26841 Aliso Creek Rd., #B, Aliso Viejo, CA.
I agree. Checked this place out in 2010, came back in summer of 2011. Wow. It looks awesome and has an inviting feel. The prices have come down and the selection is the best I’ve ever seen around here.
