Our Story

The Library Cigar Lounge began development in 2023 and officially opened its doors in June 2025. Prior to this venture, Erik and Steph owned Seguin Cigar from 2020 to 2024. With a growing vision, they expanded into a full cigar lounge featuring a premium bar, specialty coffee bar, and event venue—closer to home in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area.

Along the way, they invited select partners to join them—individuals who aligned with the mission and shared their passion for excellence and community.

Education and service are central to everything we do. Every staff member and partner is trained to guide guests in selecting the right cigar. Our Managing Partner, Andre Currie, leads cigar education with his certifications as a Certified Retail Tobacconist and Certified Cigar Sommelier.

The Story Behind Our Name

Erik and Steph—the power couple behind The Library Cigar Lounge—met in 2009. While they were dating, Friday afternoons quickly became their favorite tradition. They would attend a networking lunch together, then gather afterward with many of the same friends at a local grill and bar for drinks, laughter, and camaraderie. Whenever someone asked where they were, the group jokingly referred to it as “The Library.”

That simple inside joke became something much bigger. When Erik and Steph set out to create their own lounge, they chose the name The Library to reflect the sense of connection, friendship, and community they had experienced during those Friday gatherings. Their vision was simple: to build a place where relationships are formed, conversations flow freely, and guests feel right at home—just like they did at “The Library.”

In January 2026, we were honored with the prestigious Women Friendly Cigar Lounge certification from SOTL Global Movement. We are proud to be one of more than 70 lounges worldwide to receive this designation—and currently the only lounge in South Central Texas to hold this distinction.
