My knowledge of cigars isn’t as robust as the legitimate connoisseur. However, I’ve smoked a variety of them for years and quite frequently. I’ve developed a love for cigars and one time a friend brought me back some Cubans from Havana. I was wanting a cigar while visiting Puerto Rico and after dinner some friends flagged me over to El Galpón to buy one. Immediately I asked for two full body cigars and the gentleman there asked if I was sure about them and offered a lighter option. He asked about my knowledge of cigars and really I didn’t know much. He gave a quick run down and also a brief history of the cigars there. That they were a cigar shop at one point. I appreciated the concern and the knowledge the gentleman shared. Later that evening I smoked one of them. It was very smooth and relaxing. Easily became one of my favorite cigars. This shop offers a whole lot more. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the customer service, definitely a gem in San Juan.

So far so good, now just hope the cigar isnt wrapped too tight.

Beautiful store full of nice wooden glasses, watches and Panama hats . Will recommend to come if u are in old San Juan.

Besides hats and cigars, they also feature Puerto Rican wooden folk art of kings and other images - some that cannot be found anywhere else.

Found this place by chance. Wanted to try some of the local cigars. This guy means business! His cigars are second to none! Creamy, thick, tasty!I cant say enough. You owe it to yourself to check him out. And his Panama Hats are truly authentic Panamas. Excellent! Look forward to going there again.

Beautiful handmade Panama hats, very welcoming employees who know their stuff!
