Was in Old Town San Diego and went in the shop on a whim because it was next to a coffee shop my daughter liked. Told the manager that I was looking for something that you can't find in most other cigar shops (or online) and he explained that most all of their blends were proprietary and most of the cigars were rolled on site. He then helped me pick out two medium to full-bodied cigars. Once I got these cigars home and smoked them, I realized that they were two of the best I've ever had. And I've had many, many cigars including Padrons, Opus X, etc. The Art of Cigar will be my first stop the next time I'm back in Old Town. Highly recommended.

Great place some friends and I hit up after work. Quiet location during this time period and plenty of parking around the time we went; 6pm. They told us the background of the cigars and was very helpful in choosing the perfect one. I’m no smoker so I choose the lightest one and he explained it to me. They are also veterans so that’s a plus. We were able to watch the NBA game. No alcohol at this establishment but there are plenty of places around. Would definitely return; we had a great time.
Very chill vibe with a good selection of Cigars. They also had a gentleman hand rolling cigars on-site. TV on Padres baseball on. Meet the owner. He was very warm and welcoming. Check out this place if you are ever in Old Town.
A casual cigar lounge with a small walk-in humidor. Serving hot coffee and selling cold canned beverages. It offers a large television and seating. It is not easy to find. Look for the trellis archway and walk all the way to the back. Don’t be confused by the cafe nearby.
Professional, knowledgeable staff and an excellent selection of hand-rolled cigars. They were friendly, helpful, and took the time to recommend a cigar that matched what I was looking for.
