Story

The building they kept coming back to.

John Huerta and Danny Solis looked at building after building. They kept ending up at 111 N Austin St.

The owners

Locally owned. Veteran owned.

Big Chief belongs to John Huerta and Danny Solis, and John came up with the name.

The idea was never a smoke shop where you grab something and go. It was a room worth staying in, with a humidor full of the brands people know and staff who will walk a first-timer through it.

The short version

  • Owned by John Huerta and Danny Solis.
  • Locally owned and veteran owned.
  • The only cigar lounge in Seguin.
  • Historic downtown, at 111 N Austin St.

The room

Leather chairs, brick, and lamplight.

Most first-timers expect a dark, smoky back room. They find a lounge instead, and they sit down.

The town

Right in historic downtown.

Big Chief sits in the middle of downtown Seguin, easy to fold into an evening out.

The people

Locals and visitors share the room.

Seguin regulars sit alongside people who come through from Dallas, Houston, and Austin.
