🔇 Keep It Chill: Volume, Phone Use & Respecting the Vibe

Cigar lounges are unique spaces—equal parts social hub and personal retreat. Whether you’re here to catch up with a friend, close a deal, or enjoy quiet reflection, one thing holds true: the atmosphere matters.

At Habana Port, we’ve designed our lounges to promote calm, comfort, and camaraderie. That means every guest plays a part in protecting the ambiance. Here's how to make sure your voice, your phone, and your presence don't disrupt the cigar experience for others.

🗣️ 1. Tone Down the Volume

What to Avoid:

• Loud laughter or shouting across the room

• Animated group conversations in tight lounge spaces

• Playing “host” to an audience like it’s your personal cigar party

What to Do:

• Match your tone to the room—if it’s quiet, keep it low

• Be mindful of how your group energy affects solo guests nearby

• If you’re feeling rowdy, consider moving to the outdoor patio or designated social zone (if available)

💬 Pro Tip: The best conversations in cigar lounges happen just above a whisper—it’s part of the charm.

📵 2. Don’t Be That Phone Guy

Lounge Phone Etiquette:

• No speakerphone, FaceTime, or loud scrolling sounds

• Avoid video watching unless using headphones

• Take calls outside or in designated areas—no exceptions

• Silence your phone or put it on vibrate

💡 Tip: If you’re expecting a call, sit near an exit and step outside before answering.

👀 3. Be Present—Not Glued to the Screen

Cigar lounges are built for connection—to the leaf, to the moment, and often to other people.

• Don’t ignore those around you by being glued to your phone

• If you’re in a group, scrolling constantly comes across as disinterest

• If you’re alone, be aware of your surroundings even when checking emails or messages

💬 Good Rule: If you wouldn’t do it at a fine dining restaurant, don’t do it at a cigar lounge.

🙅♂️ 4. No “Main Character” Energy

Every cigar lounge regular has seen it: someone treating the space like it’s their stage.

• Don’t dominate the lounge with loud stories, debates, or performances

• Respect when others clearly want solitude

• Avoid trying to impress others by name-dropping or showing off cigar knowledge—let conversation flow naturally

💡 Lounge Culture Tip: Humility is cool. Let others come to you—especially in quiet lounges.
