A few years ago my son and I went to Griffin Cigar Lounge looking for cigars to gift my husband - Ben for his birthday. Not knowing anything about Cigars. The atmosphere and service at Griffin made me feel so comfortable to ask questions. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, they have a gift to teach their passion. That following weekend was my husbands’s birthday and I surprised him by taking him to the 1st Annual Cigar Klatch event at Griffin Cigar and he was super impressed and happy with his Gurkha cigar infused with cognac. The event was very classy, welcoming and fun for a great way to spend his birthday…..live salsa music, drinks, great cigars, good company….we had a blast. We’ve been customers ever since!Fast forward to 2021 as we’re helping our youngest son prepare to get married and have a wedding day he’ll remember for the rest of his life. We decide to have a cigar bar at his wedding. My husband reached out to Max and Ryan at Griffin Cigar to let them know what ideas he had. Not knowing that Max has over 25 yrs of experience in presenting at events. Max came up with a proposal to work with our budget and at first I was super nervous I won’t lie (I’m the mother so….you know I naturally worry). 😜 I just want to let all the mothers of the bride or groom know…..no need to be nervous. The cigar bar was more than a hit! It was classy and the highlight of the wedding. I couldn’t imagine the wedding without it. Groomsmen, bridesmaids, father, brothers, uncles, aunts and guests of all ages absolutely LOVED it! I just want to thank Max for the ideas and support you gave my husband. The setup and presentation combined with my husband’s good taste in cigars and charm created a vibe at my baby’s wedding that was beautiful, undeniable and unforgettable. We will talk about it for years to come. Thank you! See pics!If you haven’t been to Griffin Cigar Lounge check it out, you’ll love it!
Just popped in from out of town. Selection is top notch. Atmosphere is great, plenty of comfy seating. Would have loved to have my smoke there if not for wedding party. Awesome spot!
Max, the Owner is the best! It was nice to sit and have a smoke and meet some great people there. Max even sat with us and we had a great time. I can’t say enough about Max and how he personally interacts with everyone who visits his establishment. If you love a nice relaxed smoke experience this is the place!
Went for bachelor party without much knowledge of cigars. Owner was very helpful in guiding me through the different types of cigars. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to buy cigars for themselves or an event.
I came here to pick up some cigars for a bachelor party, not really knowing whats what. The service was amazing. Super Friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking for cigars!
I love to visit different cigar lounges. This one is run by a father and son pair. Both are full of life and great guys. They know there stuff. Even the first cigar they ever smoked. If you smoke cigars and like a great environment this is the place for you.
Griffin Cigar is a classy and well organized lounge with a great selection of premium to mid-level cigars, a very welcoming diverse environment. I highly recommend this location to any and all Aficionados that enjoy a quiet and social atmosphere in the RVA area.

Griffin is a great place to sit back, relax and enjoy a great cigar. Great people. Max, Ryan, Adam and crew do a great job of making you feel at home. This is a place that you want to enjoy on numerous occasions.
Wonderful place, great selection, and incredible staff. The owner is super nice, knowledgeable, and gives you individualized attention. The atmosphere is classy and also laid back so you get the class, but it’s not stuffy/pretentious so any cigar lover would feel welcome. Great place to sit, have conversation, and enjoy a cigar. Complimentary coffee and soft drinks are a nice touch too. Hands down the best cigar lounge in Richmond! Highly recommend!
Like to find a man that smokes to enjoy a cigar with. I’m attracted to men that smoke cigars. Hopefully I can meet that man to teach me the art of smoking.
Amazing selection of cigars. Always find what I’m looking for and a bit more. Very knowledgeable staff and laid back environment. Ask for recommendations, never had a bad experience with a cigar they’ve recommended
Great atmosphere. Waited around herr while my wife went job interview. Owner and manager extremely friendly. Fellow customers friendly and conversational
As a business traveler, I have the pleasure of visiting cigar lounges across the entire southeast. This is by far one of best I’ve visited from an atmosphere, selection and customer service aspect. The owner (Faris) is a wonderful host and made me feel as welcomed as if I was a regular. The other patrons I sat with were great people and we all enjoyed the amazing atmosphere. This is a must visit when I’m in town next, great lounge!!
Great shop to relax and smoke. Smaller inventory of cigars but they offer quality picks. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and offer recommendations. Definitely a new favorite spot for me when Im at Stony Point.
The owner was very helpful when I came in to get cigars for my dad tonight! Great customer service!
Awesome store, has everything CBD related. The owner is really cool and knows a lot about the product
This is an amazing place to sit relax and have a cigar. Extremely knowledgeable staff that was happy to explain every cigar you had questions about. As we sat and enjoyed our cigars he came multiple times and offered water and coffe to us. I wish I were a local I would be a life long customer. Great job guys.
This was totally a Nice place to sit and have quality conversation with friend(s) while enjoying your favorite Cigar. The only downfall I noticed was it wasnt a Bar of some type... because I enjoy a drink with my cigar. Now they do furnish bottle water and sodas. The Salesman is totally Amazing and very informative... and thats why Im totally going back. You should totally go and check them out.
This is one of the most spectacular places that I have ever been in regards to a place to hang out and smoke cigars. If you’re in this area, this is a must, even if you only have 30 mins. High quality service, relaxed atmosphere, and some of the best cigars you’ll ever try. I walked in happy and I left feeling better than ever!
From the moment I walked in Ryan was extremely helpful and helped my friends and I find amazing cigars! We hung around for a few hours to talk with the owners they were very knowledgeable and very welcoming! I will definitely return soon!
I stopped in on May 26, 2019!!!! I had a great experience. Awesome customer service with great recommendations and a great cigar selection!!! Ill definitely be back to sit, smoke and enjoy the scenery a d environment!!!!!!

One cool place. If you like cigars you must check this place out. Great ambience beautiful decor and vibe.
Decided to just take a glance inside and I’m glad I did. The atmosphere is wonderful and the owner is very personable. Offering recommendations and well as guiding us around. This is a very nice place to come have a smoke with friends or even alone and read or do work.
Delighted! While your wife shops pull up a chair and herf. Good selection and decent prices. Victor knows his cigars

Great selection of cigars and good tobaco, try the IQ if they have it. Staff is always very welcoming and helpful.
Second time here good place to get your smoke on.
The gentleman that helped my friends and I was very professional and informative. He helped us find cigars for a gift and taught us how to even smoke a cigar
Im in town for work and stopped in to have a stogie. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and recommended something new for me to try based off my preferred sticks. Prices are on part with what I find in most places. I will be back if Im in town again.
Friendly staff and they carry the most amount of cigars on the south side that Ive found with reasonable prices

Always a great experience. Good selection. Helpful and friendly staff.
Wonderfully appointed lounge area in great location for people watching, boasting a wide selection of the elite and boutique cigar brands and accessories, and knowledgeable, friendly staff. I highly recommend a visit!
Ryan is very knowledgeable and shows great attention to detail when explaining the make up of the many different types of cigars.
