Never did I expect to feel right at home my first time in New York state. The incredible folks at Castle Cigar proved me very wrong. If there was ever such a thing as a neighborhood cigar lounge, Castle Cigar is the definition. The owner and staff were so friendly and welcoming, and they wasted no time introducing me to many community members. I felt both welcomed and at home almost immediately here. They have an excellent variety of cigars to choose from. Prices are very reasonable, and the multiple different lounge areas were amazing. They have truly cultivated a beautiful community of cigar lovers, in a space that's not pretentious, rude or over the top... it's just right; relaxed, warm and welcoming. My visit was capped off by receiving my honorary knighthood by the owner himself. This is a must visit for any cigar enthusiast, no matter your level of knowledge and experience. Castle Cigar is a shining example of what is right among a sea of cigar shops that get so many things wrong in how they treat people, and cigars. I can't wait for my next smoke with new friends!!

Best cigar lounge in the area! Come on in and feel right at home with a great and friendly group of people that love to smoke great cigars and share life. Rick and Angie, the King and Queen will make sure you feel right at home and knight you after showing you the shop. Great humidor full of awesome smokes that changes constantly. Like sports? Football Sundays are great and entertaining with all the TVs in the lounge to watch your favorite game with everyone, and if your team loses, who cares, you are enjoying a great cigar and fun! Lady friendly, super immaculate, and a well done ventilation system so you don't leave smelling like an ash tray. Update September 2023: The best gets better with a nice expanded back room, and a huge upgrade to the humidor with a nice selection of premium cigars, like the Padron 1926 Anniversary line. You can also play NY Lottery QuickDraw in the shop, so smoke and win. Update 1 November: They have totally revamped the inside so it looks so much better now, even my wife commented on how much nicer it is. They moved the lockers from the main area to the VIP smoking area in the back, and with the extra room added a bunch of nice new humidors with loads more cigar choices to buy! Just keeps on getting better.

Possibly the best cigar shop in NY. Owner’s are incredible and welcoming. Cant say enough how they make you feel at home. Cigar prices are the best around and they know we all suffer due to NYS taxes but do their best to make it all affordable. There is something for everyone. Large rooms and they don’t watch the clock to make you leave.

Amazing place to meet like minded cigar aficionados, prices are super reasonable, and Rick knighting me and hanging out with him and some new friends last night while he was whacking golf balls... the best! Cant forget about how hospitable and welcome both he and Angie (👌❤️💯) made me feel. It's worth the drive for me coming from Mechanicville to meet good people and not have to keep an eye on the clock especially since we didnt have til past 1130pm last nite! Angie... a diamond 💎, truly. Friendly welcoming, gave me the full tour of the place, not a single thing was left out! Selection: RIDICULOUS...IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE... had an RP Emerald followed up by a Rojas Street Taco... delicious. Mentioned to my friend who invited me down that as soon as I walked in, it felt like the tropics..not overly warm, but perfect climate for the cigars. Knowledge: Brian's breadth of cigar knowledge was amazing as he and I (mainly he, in an expert way), were briefly talking about the Tabernacle and Olmec lines. Thanks for taking the time out to speak with me, and educate me at the same time Brian! Thank you Rick and Angie for making this cigar guy feel welcome and at home. You've earned a new customer and friend and appreciate you guys for showing me how much you truly love what you do.

Stopped in when I was in the area, looking for a place to enjoy a cigar. The entire experience was great! Really good size lounge. Lots of seating. TVs to watch the game. Good selection of cigars. The floor mounted cutter and torch system was crazy cool. People were awesome. Everyone was super friendly. Definitely going back. Highly recommend.
