This is a must visit humidor if in the area. Saddeh, the owner, is an awesome guy who is very knowledgeable and very nice. One thing of note is that the humidor is extremely clean and organized. I love walking into a nicely set up space. They have a great selection of cigars, most notably Foundation Cigars which include El Güegüense, Wiseman, Charter Oak and Tabernacle.
Honestly the best humidor in the valley service is amazing employees and owner are the best people I have ever had the chance to do business with, well worth the drive to go get good cigars the selection is great the quality is amazing the humidor is managed impeccably
From the second I walked in I was followed and my every move was being watched as though I was a known shoplifter. Even walking in and out of humidor he was right behind me. I made it clear I didnt need any help twice and was just browsing, the second time he replied yep I know. But minutes of being in a silent humidor with the store owner just watching and obviously doing nothing else but that ends up feeling like hours. I asked him if he always just follows customers around untill they leave and after replying with yep I decided to put down the thirty dollars worth of cigars I was going to buy and walk out. I will never be back.
Fantastic selection of boutique cigars. The curator is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with suggestions as to what to try. I look forward to visiting again.
Nice little hole in the wall place good customer service and decent prices
Love this shop. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great lounge and awesome clients. Respectable establishment and good selection of cigars, pipe tobacco, and wines.Will definitely continue to return here whenever Im in the state.
Awesome little cigar and tobacconist shop in the mall, which had been around for many years. They have a wide selection of cigars (if you like those) as well as pipes and pipe tobacco (my own interest), and many accessories. Very clean and comfortable store. Even if you dont smoke, its worth going in for the pleasant smells...
Charges way too much. Most items can be found online and locally for considerably less money. Store is clean. Easy access.
Went in for pipe tobacco and the selection and service was very good
Great customer service. Best pipe shop in town. They dont carry exactly my favorite, but they come close. Very professional.
They know their stuff! Friendly and helpful! Highly recommend for any cigar, or pipe tobacco needs!
I had to purchase a cigar for my brother and since im clueless because I dont smoke, I was hoping for some help. After a few questions asked and some answers given, I was able to make a purchase. Im happy to say my brother was pleased with the cigar. I am still clueless, but I know where too go for help!
Great cigar selections with a cool lounge to enjoy them
Great selection, knowledgeable staff, but no makers mark cigars...yet.
Great selection of cigars!
Always excellent service.very knowledgeable guys
Great selection!
Accommodating. Has a small but nice wine selection. Excellent cigar humidor with a nice selection of quality cigars. They also have a smoking room/lounge in the store. Great selection of pipes and a accessories. Excellent for gifts. I will definitely go back.
I dont usually leave negative reviews, but heres this one. Ive been to Avva maybe 10 times over the last couple of years. Its an hour drive for me, but they have a really nice selection of cigars. Typically Ive spent $60-$70 each visit. Went up there today, intending to get 6 or 7 nice sticks, since my internet supplied stash was out. The sales guy acted like I was a shoplifter. Im old enough to get junk mail from AARP, was dressed reasonably well, and wasnt actually even touching any items as I browsed... a very uncomfortable experience. I told him I felt like a shoplifter, and left. Maybe he thought I was some sort of protester, planning to burn his wares? ( Well, I was actually planning to burn them, but not until Id paid for them, and taken them home. ) Ended up going to the small walk in humidor at Mobil in Corvallis and getting $65 worth of cigars, I dont think Ill go back to Avva again after that. I miss the other guy that worked there, hadnt seen him in a few visits, but he was knowledgeable and cool.
Love this store so much the entire staff and selection and quality is the best. The owner here is the most caring and professional gentleman I know.
The guy behind the counter took the time to help me, a complete cigar newbie, find exactly what I wanted and I was pleased when I smoked it. As a bonus, the prices were on the lower end too!Ill definitely be coming back the next time I need cigars.
Started smoking a pipe again last month after a 15 year absence and I needed a new pipe and they have a good overall basic collection. They have about 25 blends of pipe tobacco. They have some fantastic blends from Irish sunset to their own AVVA 1-3. The staff is what impressed me most. They are knowledgeable and very friendly and professional. Stores like this is a pleasure to do business with. I was so impressed that within 1 week I bought 2 pipes and a good 1 1/2 lbs. total of the aromatic pipe tobaccosThe great part of this store is that it is located right on the north face of the Lancaster mall. Very easy for the in and out customer I will be a repeat customer.
The place is beautifully set up, the wine selection is pretty good including the honey wine. Cigars, they have plenty to choose from and the employees are gentlemen and very wise in the large selection they have.
Avva has a great selection of premium cigars, pipe tobacco, pipes, wine and accessories. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a great smoking lounge with a TV too!
Stopped in today to grab a cigar for NYE. Told the employee up front that I don’t know what to look for as I have never bought a cigar and he was very helpful. Explained what his thoughts were for a beginner and gave me a few options and gave some tips.Definitely plan on returning and looking forward to trying my cigar tonight!
Been going here for over a year. Staff is great, new guy working there doesn’t seem to know his cigars. They never stay open to their posted hour, seem to close 30 minutes early, which isn’t very convenient for those of who work late. Overall amazing cigar selection.
Went in for pipe tobacco & thought Id try buying locally. The tobacco was really *dry* and made for an unpleasant experience. Disappointing to have wasted money.
The best humidor in Oregon. Great lounge!
Being a pipe guy myself, I was somewhat disappointed that the selection of pipes and tobacco was fairly limited. However, I see what they are doing, and if you are looking for a good place to buy cigars or a nice wine I would recommend it. They do have some pipes and tobaccos, so dont lose heart their either. To be honest, I like the fact that the occasional guy will be smoking his pipe in the shop. It adds to the ambience.I gave it a five because in Salem there are so few quality tobacco shops and its a decent place.
Nice selection.
Great little shop. For a small shop in the mall they have a very nice selection of wines at reasonable prices. Cigar selection is huge. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. My go-to place for quality wine and cigars.
Lots of selections on good cigars.
Helpful
I came in close to closing and Trevor didnt send me out the door. He was very polite and answered all my questions without pressuring me to leave. Thanks for all your help and for the cigars Trevor! Ill be back!
I love this place! The people here are very helpful!
Full walk-in humidor, good selection of cigars and pipe tobacco.
They have a great selection, everyone that works there are very friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have.
Good place to buy good cigars. Plus they have a smoking room.
Been going here for my pipe tobacco for about 2 months now. Main checker Rocky is amazing. The young kid in there is a prick who doesnt know basic customer service. Always ask for Rocky!
Marvelous cigar selection, I hope to try their pipe tobacco soon
Extremely professional and helpful staff. Answered any questions I had, and just an overall wonderful experience. Will be going back!!!
Great staff. Awesome selection. And a great cigar lounge to sit back and enjoy a cigar.
The nicest people you will ever meet. The owner, rocky, and ryan. They would never leave you with any doubts of buying something that is not your taste.
If you can get the acetone smell from the nail salon next door out of your nostrils long enough to make it into the humidor, its ok. Wide selection but prices are in the high side - I think the cheapest stick they sell is $8.75. the employees are kinda hit or miss - the hipster guy in the sport coat really irritates me, especially since its obvious he doesnt know anything about cigars. Personally, Id rather drive to Beaverton and have less of a selection than deal with this place (and the odor).
Very friendly, helpful staff. Would come back again. A nice selection too.
Great staff, lots of help in selecting a great cigar or wine. I will definitely return!
Great cogats pipe to accommodate and pipes and excellent wine selection

Great cigars, custom service, fair prices. Lounge is a relaxing space.
Informative and cool
Excellent customer service. Good selection of cigars and a nice smoking lounge.
Great selection of cigars. Good lounge to smoke in
The owner and his staff have been working for years to gain a clientele that is the average Joe. Very down to earth and awesome to deal with, no matter what your cigar knowledge is. Saydeh (the owner) and the many regulars will help you if you need it. The smoking room is top knotch with a large screen tv, cutters and torches for your needs.Definitely the best cigar shop around for miles.
Great people and customer service!
Awesome selection always at all times. Very friendly staff and yes they do have a special place to smoke your cigars 😀
Great place to relax, enjoy a good cigar and enjoy great company.
Great cigar and wine selection. Friendly people.
Great place! Awesome lounge and good people?
Vary upsetting prices as of late and even more upsetting of an atmosphere since the new employees... The people that the owners have working for them are more rude than you can imagine...
Great staff nice selection they make you feel like youre at home!!!
Guys were rude and gave false advice and information
Best cigars in town!

Drove 30 minutes specifically to get a certain type of cigar, they said they didnt carry it, told my daughter, she went in the same day and bought it...go figure.
Broad selection and good prices
Friendly atmosphere
