I went to The Cigar House of Puerto Rico with a friend that smokes cigars. The shop is very large in a beautiful old Spanish Colonial building. In addition to cigars they sell lighters, flasks, hats and wine. In the lounge are super cozy sofas and good ventilation. Staff was very helpful and attentive.

You have to show proof of vaccination to go into the shop. What a joke! I guess they like losing money. Won’t try there again.

This is a wonderful cigar shop!Walking in you immediately get a retail vibe but then quickly realize this is more than just a cigar store. They do have many tobacco accessories for just about anyone but they also have a very large humidor which houses not only a wide variety of cigars but some very exceptional cigars as well. If you need any assistance with your selection or have questions, the staff here know exactly what they are talking about and will be more than happy to help.There is a very comfortable lounge to sit in and enjoy your smoke, the large leather furniture settings, situated with tables and ashtrays within reach makes this a relaxing place to sit, socialize and sample the contents of that large humidor.You can also sit and have a few drinks with your favorite stick, whether you looking for a good beer, glass of wine or scotch, they have got you covered.Have a smoke and drink for me, Cheers!

Great selection of cigars. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have an area where you can sit and smoke cigars, even buy a bottle of wine or rum to enjoy with your cigar. We will definitely visit again when we are in Puerto Rico

This place maintains a Caribbean feeling from the moment you walk in the store to the moment you sit down in the back lounge with an old rum and your cigar. What it lacks in prim-and-proper, it makes up for in authenticity and variety. They have two enormous walk-in humidors as well as tobacco items throughout the store. If youre looking for mood over frills, go here for your daily smoke.

This shop is topnotch. It has pretty much any cigar you can ask for including things that are rare or sold out almost everywhere else in the US. The prices are fair, the service is friendly, welcoming and attentive and, beyond cigars, they stock all accessories, rare liquors, have a great bar and plenty of sitting space for one to enjoy a few hours with a nice smoke and libation. If in PR this is a must stop and the only cigar shop I would recommend.

If I could give this place ten stars, I would. The shop is in a historic part of not only Puerto Rico but in the world and in a building surrounded by streets built in the 1500s.You walk in and can immediately smell the tobacco, then you see the huge selection of accessories, hats, shirts, lighters, flasks, cigar boxes, you name it.Then you see the bar and lounge. Off to the side is a cigar lovers Nirvana. A walk-in humidor. Filled with quality cigars from all over and some hand rolled selections from Puerto Rico.You walk through a small hallway and then its Valhalla. A room bigger than the first one, completely lined with cigars.Since Puertorican cigars are not readily found in the States I purchased a few homegrown selections, walked to the lounge, had a glass Macallan 12 poured for me and sat down with a cigar.Can we say Heaven?For cigar lovers, visit this place. You wont be disappointed.

The largest humidor and selection of cigars Ive seen in my life. Equally as spacious a lounge and selection of pairing spirits. They are NOT BYOB and do not allow outside cigars but with a selection this large you should be able to fine something youd like.

I go to the cigar house every week and they treat me (and my dog) with a level of hospitality that keeps me coming back. Reasonable prices and an inclusive atmosphere that doesnt make you feel like you need to be a rich man in a business suit in order to enjoy a cigar.

This is an amazing Cigar Shop. The people who work there are so hospitable and knowledgeable about all the tobacco they sell. The Cigar House has a very warm ambience to it. Their lounge is like being at home and a Paradise for those who enjoy a great cigar. The cigar selection is by far the best in Puerto Rico. They also have an amazing bar and the coffee is made to perfection.

As many have stated before this place is absolute cigar heaven but the staff are not very helpful if you don’t know what you’re looking for. There walk in humidor is the largest I have been in to date. When you walk into the first room it’s clean and has some cool Camacho and Davidoff displays but then you go into the other room I didn’t even see and you’re greeted with thousands of cigars. Pretty much think of any stick and they will have it. My jaw honestly dropped. I loved seeing the exclusive drew estate lounge box press liga 9s and had to grab a few! I really wish I had some time to enjoy one in the shop because they have a decent lounge area and in house bar :) I just happened to stumble across this spot walking about old San Juan and it was a very memorable experience. If it wasn’t for the crazy selection they would definitely have a 3/5 but if you know cigars DO NOT hesitate to visit!

A nice little cigar shop with lofted ceilings and a decent selection of liquor. A good place to sit and work or relax for a bit if youre trying to get out of the sun and smoke a stick.

Outstanding cigar store. Gigantic 2 room walk in humidor. Huge selection of Opus X cigars at market price (not gouge the tourist prices). This store was not the cigar store advertised by the ship. If you are a true cigar connoisseur, walk 2 blocks up the street past what the ship advertises. You will not be disappointed.

Wow. This place has it all. From cigars to humidors, pipes to cuff links, this is truly a gentlemans spot. If you love your stogies and your wine, or cognac, or maybe just a beer then this is the place to go. Very wide selection of cigars, types and makes. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. The employees are very friendly, hospitable and helpful. Buy a cigar or 2 or 4. Pull up a chair at the bar, order a drink n just chillax. The bar is not your scene, no problem, relax with your cigar in the comfy lounge and enjoy the sky view ceiling. If you smoke cigars Dont miss this place. Youll be mad and regret you did. But if you do go, when its over and you leave, youll be yearning to go back. This place leaves an impression in you that you dont find in many cigar lounges. Enjoy

Review №87

The selection at this place was amazing and the amount of choices is overwhelming. However the employee who helped me was not very knowledgeable. So you better know what you like before you go in. I’ve smoked cigars for several years, but I’m still learning my taste. She steered me to two different cigars that were not good at all. That was frustrating, considering that I dropped so much money there. If you’re looking for a good local cigar there is a lady who sits on the corner, at the main square who hand rolls them. Her cigars were very good.

According to google they were closing at 10pm, I got to the front of the business at 9:10pm . So I got here in the morning and AGAIN it was posted on google that they are open . When I call the owner tells me they are not open on Sundays . Please do ALL of us a favor and UPDATE Your times and dates so people don’t waste their time and energy .

Review №97

God honest truth: I WOULD GIVE THEM ZERO STAR IF I COULD. NONE! They do have the best selection in the island. No doubt. And the prices are not bad at all. But they do have a problem with return policies and customer relations. After I spent near $900 on cigars I got home, I opened one of the boxes and tried to smoke this particular premium cigar but had a real tight draw. It was like trying to smoke a pencil. The same thing happened with the second and third cigar. So I decided to call the shop and calmly learn about their return policy. I talked to the lady who owns the shop. She went off the rails, and very disrespectful. I was very courteous because I really wanted either a new box or money. She said no, she didnt care no returns after you walk out with merchandise, receipt or not. Thats their policy. I worked in the past for one of the largest cigar retailers in FL. So this what happens most of the time; a customer brings the merchandise back for return, gets a replacement, credit or refund. The bad cigars go back to the manufacturer and the store gets a replacement or credit. So all in all, if you buy cigars at this place, smoke them there and if the cigar turns to be a dud or unravels, pray they give you another and good luck.
