I am 100% disabled and homebound. I was looking for a Tobacco Store that would work with me on the type of Pipe Tobacco blend I would enjoy and every other store I contacted either did not mail tobacco to you or were rude over the phone and wanted to end the phone call ASAP, but when I called Milan Tobacconist their staff was very helpful in finding out what type of Pipe tobacco I was interested in and flavors I liked and made very good suggestions to me on the type of blend to get and it only took 3 different blends before we found the perfect blend I enjoy which is their personal blend of Buttered Rum. They mail the Pipe tobacco to me and it always arrives the very next business day. I highly recommend Milan Tobacconist to everyone who enjoys Cigar and Pipe Smoking.This is a Family owned business that create and make most of their tobacco blends.I rate this store at a 5 plus stars and I have recommended Milan Tobacconist to all my friends who still smoke Pipes and Cigars.
Best service and staff anyone could ever ask for. Dave and Rene are amazing folks who have taken care of this valley for years now. They have kept Milan alive and running in top condition. I wouldnt buy my high-end smokes anywhere else.
What a lovely place! They have good prices on all cigars. Less than you will pay at Tobacco Hut, and much more classy. Being about to chill and have a smoke on site is great. Ive never been in the private club, but considering it for the winter season! The owners are lovely people and very knowledgeable.
I ordered online from the website as Im in South Dakota. I couldnt be happier with the transaction. Im very happy with my purchase and the shipping speed. I would buy from here again.
Cigar Heaven!!! One of my favorite places... If youve been there you know, if not youre missing out on some of the best that life has to offer.. Theyre the REAL DEAL!!! From the front door to the back of the humidor... Customer service is phenomenal, the atmosphere is inviting, and they have the best selection of cigars, pipes, pipe tobacco, lighters, cutters and pretty much any accessories youll need hands down... Simply put, this is the place to satisfy all of your cigar and pipe smoking desires to the fullest...
Outstanding pipe and cigar selection. Their in-house pipe tobacco blends are second to none.
The customer service at Milan Tobacconists is unmatched. Personal, sweet, helpful. Grew up smoking cheap cigars and not being the most knowledgeable about handmade cigars. Their staff is able to meet you in the middle and not overwhelming you with condescending cigar shop bs. Id suggest anyone in the area check them out. I stopped buying online just for the personal experience you get from Milan. 11/10. Im a tough customer and I cant sing enough praises for these wonderful folks. I was grossly mistreated by a massive retailer Id rather not name. I told the folks at Milan what I had experienced and they invited me down to have a smoke. I told her what my favorite cigar was and she got me lined up with the perfect smoke. They also told me they run weekly specials in the store on Mondays. So if you want to try a new cigar, theyre out on the table in the middle. Its not often that you find a place youre actually happy to give them your money. Best shop around without a doubt.
Pricey, but great selection of cigars.
Finest pipe tobacco quick turn around ship same day
Very nice tobacco shop. Stopped in and purchased some pipe tobaccos. All were excellent, especially the one the owner said he prepared himself. Will be ordering more by mail.
I smoke a pipe and it is not easy to find actual pipe tobacco. Aromatic, blended, whether house blended or not....weighed out by the ounce from a glass jar. These days usually found in only one store in a large metropolitan area and only a small selection of maybe 20 blends to choose from. Here they blend their own selections and have well over 20. I would have loved to been able to smell each and every one, but they are all behind the bar. Now I am sure they would have taken the time to allow me to do that, but I really didnt have the time to sit down at the bar to enjoy that experience. 😀🤔😒😉I did however get 3 different blends..., Butter Berry, Sportsman and their Christmas Blend 3 ounces for under $14. Thank you
Found these folks through a Google search looking for singles of a specific cigar. Had exactly what I wanted plus a few others I’ve been wanting to try. Placed an online order on Saturday afternoon and was in my mailbox on Monday. Can’t beat that kind of service! I didn’t even know USPS operated Saturday and Sunday :)I will be back online for more and will visit the store next time I’m coming through Roanoke!
Its been a while since I was in a tobacco store. Not many prices listed so you need help finding what you may be looking for. Was just in to see how it felt. Not sure if I will return or not.
So far, the Sampler, 2 Missouri Meerschaums, HH Dark Fired, Petersons EMP, Honey Smoke...I waited too long to smoke a pipe and Im grateful you are local!
Visited this wonderful establishment today and as a newcomer to pipe tobacco it was like being a kid in a candy store! Wonderful selection of pipes, lighters, stands, etc., but the best part was the very courteous staff. A gentleman gave great suggestions as to a couple of tobaccos to try and he was dead on as to their great flavors. Definitely a wonderful shop to visit and a very welcoming atmosphere, Thanks again.
Very nice place, prices arent crazy either.
Super helpful and friendly for a first time cigar store client. Would highly recommend
Im always impressed when I visit Milan! Excellent service and staff in a welcoming environment! Ive been out of the cigar hobby for 12 years, decided to drop in for a few sticks! A very helpful and friendly lady assisted me and my wife and pointed me in the right direction! Very pleased with my purchase and Ill be back soon!
Im a pipe smoker, the selections of local blends, internationally sold tins and the cigars to choose from... Keeps me busy to say the least. Thank you
This isnt a review of the location so much as the experience I had online ordering one of their custom blends. The website was wonderfully simple to navigate, with a very large selection of tobbacos, cigars pipes and pipe accessories. The Cherry bon bon blend that I ordered (1/2 pound quantity) was very well priced and absolutely wonderful to smoke. I plan on ordering a couple pipes from their selection soon, and truly hope I have a reason to come to the area just so I can come to this location to get the full experience of this wonderful shop.
Showed up at 6:04 I know they close at 6:00 but the employees had a half a stick left, I drove 30 min to buy a box and spend a min of 200.00 and they looked at me out the door and wouldn’t even let me plead my case..btw I’m not petty this is my first ever poor review! I won’t be back and will continue to shop in lynchburg!!Update* I appreciate your response, I will say that there was a younger light haired guy behind your counter, and unfortunately he did ignore me. Also I tried to call while standing at the door at 6:05 and the phone call wasn’t answered. If the actions met what you stated in your reply we wouldn’t be on google “defending” the experience at hand, also you would have had a fairly decent sale..
Walk-in humidor with great cigars at fair prices. The staff are A+!! Just a very relaxing and pleasant place to spend time if youre into the cigar smoking hobby. Theres typically a decent crowd with good conversation. Theyre fairly active on social media and remember you once youve stopped by a few times, which I actually like- definitely an extended family and friends vibe. I dont get to go as often as Id like but I always enjoy myself when I do.
I found this treasure trove on a whim as I was visiting Roanoke with my wife. I have to say that the staff is kind, courteous, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I didn’t get their names, but the lady who helped me knew her cigars. Since coming home, I’ve decided to make some cigar purchases online. If you haven’t been to this establishment before, it is a place that should not be missed! Oh yeah, you can sit in the shop and smoke a stick, too.
Great, l have been a customer for many years even back when the Milan family owned the business. David and Renae are very pleasant and helpful.
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Helped me when I wanted to get into pipe smoking.
Excellent Service Great cigars and awesome facilities! And a dog!
Smells great and the staff is very knowledgeable! Best place in Roanoke to get tobacco products!
Absolutely superior, top-notch, friendly customer service! Good selection. Excellent blends. Competitive pricing. (This is what you wish all shopping experiences were like.)
Wonderful selection of cigars and very friendly employees. Prices are decent and there is a club upstairs with a lounge. I dont know the requirements for entering the club though.
I looked out of place there, its a nice store but they helped me out wonderfully, a few customers I showed my pipe my hand carved gave me some pointers and the cashier was all smiles. Great selection and service and and recommendations from staff.
Have ordered from Milan over the years. The service is excellent. Great company to shop for tobacco needs.ordered the Milan version of Kentucky Club mixture for old time sake. They did a great job replicating it. In fact it was improved over the original . You folks rock.
Great place. Owner was magnificent with information on cigars and pipes. Splendid conversation over smoking practices like smoking prep.... The pre-smoke things one does such as sniffing the cigar to take in the aroma of different tobaccos and strengths. Really enjoyed my visit and hope to return in the future to enjoy a smoke on premises.
Fantastic selection and friendly service. Ive enjoyed their cigars and pipes for 40 years.
If youre thinking of trying cigars for the first time and youre in the Roanoke area this is the place you need to go. I walked in never having really smoked on a cigar and the woman running the shop was awesome. She answered all of my questions, never rushed me and suggested several cigars that I left with to try out. Im new to cigar smoking so even if I decide its not for me I would still and always recommend Milan Tobacconist!
This is my go to spot when I visit my family. Most of all I miss Tony Reed. This was his spot. I met some really nice people there on behalf of him. I love walking into a shop and everybody is either smiling or laughing. Thats a really good feeling. I love this place!
They had exactly what I called in for & is willing to order what you need
I cannot say enough good things about Milan Tobacconist, inc. From the atmosphere of the store to outstanding customer service, they exceeded every expectation I had.
Very nice shop. Everyone is very friendly . A pay parking lot literally right next door to make it easy to get in and out . I dont make it in here as much as Id like but I will continue to return for some great cigars .
Love this place. Very friendly nothing better than enjoying a great smoke in a great place. Been coming here with my family since I was a lil kid.
This is by far the best tobacconist Ive ever personally been to. Its a very classy style environment with an absolutely amazing selection of cigars, humidors, pipe tobacco, pipes, and much more. The humidor is absolutely astounding in the aspects of how many cigars there are, and how large the room is. The staff seems very knowledgeable about all products they sell and are happy to help. Of course, as with any tobacconist, you will notice them lingering about you whilst you are in the humidor or our of their general point of view. However, its completely understandable due to the nature of some people. They offer free coffee, matches, and even allow you to use a variety of different cigar cutters and lighters if you decide to light up as soon as you buy your cigar. They are conveniently located in downtown Roanoke, so dont worry about going hours out of your way to find a good smoke! Five stars have definitely been earned.
Only place I go for pipe tobacco and good conversation. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help or answer questions. The patrons are more of the same. Im glad theyre so close to my home and work.
Great shop! Knowledgeable and friendly tobacconists. Outstanding service and fair pricing. I drive an hour to buy their products.
Good experience.
Every time I go in I have a great experience. If I cant find what I want the employees are always willing to jump in and help me find it. If they dont have what I am looking for they are always willing to help me find a comparable substitute. Every cigar I have ever bought has been very fresh, you can tell it hasnt been sitting there for too long. They also have a good assortment of pipe tobacco, which if you usually dont smoke pipes they will help you find a tobacco to your liking. Overall great place.
Very friendly, and their own blends are stellar. I will be back this way soon.
Great family run local business! Nice selection at good prices and super friendly folks!
Excellent service and selection from polite and knowledgeable staff. Classy environment. Come by to relax and smoke your pipe! You will not be disappointed. They also have a fantastic selection of house blend pipe tobacco, try Honey Smoke.
Probably in the top three tobacconists Ive ever been to. Im mostly a cigar smoker, but I know they smell pipe tobacco as well. The stores staff is welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. The selection of cigars is very impressive, especially their selection of $10+ sticks. There is room to sit and relax in the store if you want to smoke there as well.
Ive been to the store once, but purchase from their site several times a month for pipe tobacco. Their selection of aromatic tobaccos is outstanding. The descriptions are pretty close to the taste youll discover.Ive never had a problem with billing or shipping in many years of being a customer. This is a class act shop.
One of the last genuine tobacconist around. Great selection of pipe tobacco blended on site.
Great staff, wonderful selection. I love the atmosphere
Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Helped me find the perfect cigar.
I love the feel of this place it’s like a cigar shop back home in MN. It’s classy great selection a must go to if your into cigars
Great ppl, great selection, Im a pipe smoker and they have about anything I need, or can get it. I recently had a crack in a pipe that I love. They had it fixed and even polished the mouthpiece. Amazing work, also I couldnt get up there before close so they even shipped it to me! This isnt your average cigarette pack store, this is one of the few remaining tobacconist shops around. Great place! Would recommend to any tobacco enthusiast.
Top notch. Owners and staff are friendly and know their stuff. I make a 45 minute drive to do business here and its totally worth the miles.
I have ordered online a few times. Love the selection of pipe tobaccos! Ialso have picked up a few pipes that I really like. I love their promptness on getting my stuff delivered to me. They even sent notification emails that they recieved my order and when they shipped. Its time for more supplies! I will definitely go through Milan Tobacco for all my supplies!
An excellent selection of products and admirable customer service.
Great Location.... Great Customer Service... Great Prices... Great Combination !!!Highly Recommend : )Wilson Blanchard
I have received excellent customer service from the staff at Milan Tobacconists. I ordered the wrong item from their website, due to my own error. I emailed them to let them know of my mistake, and I received a prompt reply letting me know that they would be happy to exchange it for the correct item. They gave me return instructions, and even took the replacement item out of their inventory so that it didnt get sold before the return was complete. I sent them the return item, which took longer to deliver than originally expected due to Post Office delays, and they actually sent out the replacement item BEFORE they received the return item. You just dont receive this kind of personalized service from a corporate retailer. This is the true value of doing business with a family-owned and operated business. They have earned a loyal new customer.
I had no knowledge of cigars except for the fact that I liked them. I was referred to Milan by a brother Firefighter / Paramedic. I called and spoke with David, the cigar guru. He was very patient and helpful in deciding what I may enjoy. David helped me pick out a variety of choices that he thought I was after. He was very knowledgeable.The selection was overwhelming and his suggestions were spot on! I learned so much in a short amount of time.Hats off to you David.I would refer a friend to this shop and will certainly return.
Went there today to get my grandfather a pipe for his 80th birthday. I dont know much about pipes, the guy there was very helpful though and helped me pick out one that I think my grandfather is really going to enjoy, along with a few oz. of pipe tobacco. I would highly recommend this shop for your tobacco needs.
Brand new to cigars and they helped me immensely. Amazing staff there
Home away from home.The best of the best.
Best tobacconist in Southwest VA. Worth a stop if youre anywhere near by.
What an impressive store!!! Knowledge is key and they have it. Quality stock. Everything is perfect.
A very enjoyable B&M. The owners and staff are professional and knowledgeable. No matter what stick youre looking for from a Fuente to a Camacho to a Romeo to a regular ol yard gar, they will have what you need. This shop is wonderful! 5 out of 5! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!
Superb service, quality control, and passion for the craft!
Excellent quality cigars and friendly helpful knowledgeable service. Best tobacco house in town.
The best selection of pipe tobacco and pipes Ive ever seen! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Wide selection of cigars
Go to place for cigars and pipe tobacco. Great, friendly folks, with a lot of regulars that go to hang out and burn one.
We are so lucky to have a place like this in Roanoke. Great place to sit down and relax and have a smoke.
Best place to search for hard find items
A great place to enjoy a premium cigar and some good conversation
Love this place, Im a relatively young smoker and I dont exactly work the cleanest job in town, they have never judged me because of my after work appearance or my age and the fact that I can walk in and feel comfortable next to a guy in a suit means a lot to me and I believe says a lot about the establishment and staff
Very nice place, I needed.help and they explained
A very friendly pipe tobacco store everyones nice
The best cigar shop I have ever been to. Wish I still lived in Roanoke.
I was very pleased with the welcoming atmosphere and extensive selection of pipe tobacco blends. The employees are very knowledgeable and have always been able to help with whatever needs or questions I had.
Very high class facility with reasonable pricing. The employees are friendly and helpful. The inherent issue of tight parking in downtown is a mild annoyance but its obviously not their fault, just be aware you may want to bring a smaller car so its easier to navigate the tight spaces.Edit: I reviewed Milan Tobbaconists 4 years ago, and I just recieved another package of their in-house aromatic pipe tobacco after realizing i could have it shipped directly to me instead of driving across the state. They do a great job flavoring and blending their pipe tobacco, and it is wonderful. The Honey Smoke is my favorite, followed by the Buttered Rum. Highly reccomend!
Pipe smoker reviewUpon my visit the staff was extremely helpful. We discussed different pipes and tobacco blends for about an hour.Respectable selection of tinned tobacco as well as bulk blend.Good selection of briars ( Peterson, Savenelli, Nording etc.) as well as meershams and corn cobs. They even have a selection of custom painted corn cobs.Im not a huge fan of cigars but they appeared to have an extensive selection. I even picked up a CAO cigarillo while I was there.As a pipe smoker I highly recommend Milan if you are in the market for a new pipe or a nice blend of tobacco. I was told they will even ship to patrons who dont live in the immediate area.
Very great selection of cigars, pipes, and pipe tobacco. Very knowledgeable staff and friendly.
Simply the best pipe tobacco and cigar shop on the east coast.
Fantastic Cigar selection. Great service by knowledgeable employees /owners
Real quality tobacco. And the owner knows his stuff
Great guys, great environment, in my top 5 places to visit on one of my lazy days off.
Only place in downtown to get a good premium cigar, and sit down and enjoy it.
Beautiful store, welcoming staff and atmosphere, HUGE selection and very nice!
Awesome atmosphere. Great stock and very competitive prices.
Great friendly place with fantastic service and product. Always a pleasure to stop by on a Saturday, have a cup of coffee and try out the blend of the month.
Absolutely awsome place for all your tobacco needs!
They treat you like family
Classic . Great place.
Excellent selection of pipe tobacco!
Great selection...knowledgeable, friendly staff, reasonable prices.
In business forever. Great folks. Good company usually there too.
