HERFIO GUIDE
Where to find cigars downtown and in the Pearl.
If you are staying downtown or in the Pearl, this is the easiest part of Portland to cover without bouncing across the river.
THE SHORT VERSION
Rich's Alder is the main cigar-first stop downtown. El Gaucho is for dinner and a cigar, Kells is the Old Town bar option, and the Pearl has Rich's Flanders plus Pearl Specialty when you mainly need to buy something.

See the full place profileHow we made this list: This guide sticks to downtown, Old Town Chinatown and the Pearl. We separate shops from smoking rooms and hospitality spots because they solve different problems even when they are only a few blocks apart.
Editorial picks are separate from paid placement. Policies, hours, and cigar inventory can change, so the individual place pages show the underlying research and verification details.
