About Paul's

Paul & Sandra

In 2014 Paul and Sandra Hamelink set out to create a distinctive experience defined by two simple words: refined relaxation. They were joined by award winning mixologist, bourbon steward and certified retail tobacconist John Silvester. On August 21, 2015 Paul’s Cigar Lounge was born.  Seven years later, a second location opened in downtown Norfolk, Nebraska.

In Hastings, the historic Clarke-Buchanan Building is an ideal place to unwind with a fine whiskey, classic cocktail and premium cigar. Norfolk added rooftop seating and “The Congressional Club,” a private Members only lounge.

Comfortable chairs, quiet jazz, the best cigars, hand crafted cocktails, and the largest selection of fine whiskeys in central Nebraska combine to create the best possible experience for our guests.  It is our commitment to ensure you experience refined relaxation.

Refined Relaxation

We’re a different kind of place. Paul’s Cigar Lounge is a place to relax…to gather with friends for great conversation and fine drinks. Lose your worries of the day. We provide a refined atmosphere for you to collect your thoughts and forget the stress of your day.

Perfectly
Preserved

We maintain the perfect temperature and humidity balance in our custom-built humidor allowing you to always walk away with the highest quality smoking experience, as our cigars are perfectly preserved.

We carry a variety of cigars and tobaccos from classics to boutique. Smoking cigars is fun and relaxing, but it can be intimidating for new cigar lovers. Premium handmade cigars share a lot in common with wine and whiskey. The different regions where the tobacco is grown, how it’s blended, how long it’s aged, and what shape it’s rolled in influence the taste and the strength of a cigar. Let Paul’s knowledgeable staff help you find exactly what you’re looking for!
