Comparable to Cigars International in PA So.e cigars are a little pricey but most are cheap JR knock offs are good and reasonably priced The bar has an extensive selection of liquor and the prices are reasonable Very large lounge that wraps around the bar
Cigar lovers, this is your candy store and "third place". If you park in the back and enter in through the rear entrance, firstly, you're nostrils will be react to the heavy, spicy-sweet aroma of our favorite leaf. Then, as you venture further in, your eyes will behold a titanic treasure-trove of tobacco. Nearly endless cedar boxes of cigars line every wall and occupy every square foot of floor space. This place is basically an enormous walk-in humidor - every now and again, the ceiling-hung humidification system will HISSSSS to keep all the cigars in optimal condition. Have a favorite brand? A particular ligne? Unusual vitola or wrapper? They 99.9% carry it. On the very outside chance that they don't, the extremely helpful staff will help you find something similar to what you're looking for. I had a bit of trouble finding a particular cigar with a candela wrapper (which can be elusive these days) and they led me to it in no time. They know what they're doing and will often be smoking a stick while helping you out. After making a purchase, I asked if the lounge was open to the public. It is, but they'd like you to buy a drink. I think that's more than fair. Now, as you go through the doors into the lounge (or, if you entered through the front door), another impressive scene greets you: lots of leather chairs, pub tables that seat 2 - 6 people, and a bar tell you that this is the place to be. So, take a load off, toast a stick, and watch the game on one of several large-screen TVs, chat with buddies, or, if you're like me, enjoy some me-time and dissociate. As for the bar, there are local beers on tap and the bottles are the usual suspects like Stella. (If you're not a participator in the current IPA hegemony, then Steigl - a light helles will suit you as it does for me.) The busy but friendly bartender is ready to make you a cocktail. You're a teetotaler? I hear ya, I often just buy a bottle of coke or spring water. Espresso is also available. A communal cigar cutter is available at the bar and large ashtrays and matches are thoughtfully laid at every table and near every leather seat. The restrooms are clean. Prices. Everything here from tobacco to drinks are marked up more than usual. I mean, we're talking about Paramus, NJ and in the current economy, here. Cigars even more so than anywhere because of Jersey's tobacco tax *on top* of the usual sales tax. Keep it in mind. Other than that, definitely drop by. You'll have a good time and I'll probably catch you there.
Will not shop here again. Take the time to check there sales posted online before you buy in store. I was traveling through and looking for a Drew Estate 'Blackened'. Called ahead, verified they had some boxes, went to store grabbed them, asked at the register if there were any other discounts and was told no, but since I spent more then 500 I got a free travel case. Which is this months promotion so it was not tied to spending 500+. Get home, in Virginia, present the cigars as gifts, tell my friends about the shop and one of them looks them up on line and see's I should have saved 20% as I bought 2 boxes. Plus other gifts/items/discounts on Drew Estate items. Very upsetting. Buy with caution! The store has plenty of eye catching brands - but don't be like me and get caught up in all the options without checking on line for "IN STORE ONLY" discounts that are not advertised in store nor will the employee tell you about them.
Excellent vibe and great experience. If you’re into cigars it’s must try, superb service by bartender Leyla!
