True hidden gem in Jersey. Tucked away like a well kept secret in a small plaza. The perfect place for the true aficionado, incredibly comfortable and laid-back. The perfect balance: relaxed without being sleepy, upscale without feeling pretentious. Place were time slows down and conversation comes easily. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate.

I’ve been to the smoking dog in Maple Shade 3 times now and with each visit my appreciation grows. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the lounge is very comfortable and cozy, and the cigars! The cigar selection is quite obviously curated by people with a true passion for the cigar world and all it has to offer. There is a wonderful, well thought out selection on display. Boutiques, new releases, high end cigars, they seem to have just about everything I’m looking for with quality at every turn. I was really amazed to see the quality selection of lanceros in their own section up by the front. The lancero is often overlooked, but the smoking dog understands the value of this vitola and it shows. I really can’t say enough good things about this establishment and each time I plan on going, I get excited about what I’m going to try next. This is the best cigar shop/lounge in the area.

Love this place! Cigars are fresh! Staff is super cool and knowledgeable. Prices are good too!

The Smoking Dog is my go-to spot when I want to unwind in style. Having given up smoking almost 10 years ago, I rarely indulge, but when I do, this is the place. The atmosphere is perfect—rich with the scent of quality cigars and the soft hum of good conversation. The leather couches are incredibly comfortable, inviting you to relax and stay awhile. It’s not just about the cigars; it’s about the experience. Whether you’re a regular or an occasional visitor like me, The Smoking Dog offers the perfect blend of comfort, ambiance, and a touch of nostalgia. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape the hustle and just enjoy the moment.

Going into this shop was an excellent experience. Very kind and informative shop owners. Exceptional array of cigars! Over and above any cigar shop I've visited. Gladly purchased a few lovely cigars and was given a sample cigar because I wasn't sure which flavor I wanted. Will gladly return when I want (need) more cigars. Highly recommend 👏
