5 Star Tobacco - @MIKEGTHATSNICE - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First time in 5 Star Tobacco. I'm definitely not an extrovert and even though I've been smoking cigars for over 20 years, I'm still apprehensive going into these places hoping not to look or sound like an idiot. Owner was very courteous and helpful in pulling the cigars that I could smoke. Lots of options to choose from Picked up 4 cigars, one for now and the others for later when I get home. comfortable seating made for a very relaxing 1.5 hours. The other regulars there were having their own conversation but were polite and offered me coffee while I was there. Will definitely be back. read more

A neighborhood staple to say the least! Staff is very knowledgeable, cigars are fresh, and prices are very competitive. Highly recommended for cigars and any smoking needs. read more

5 Star Tobacco - Monte Cristo & Arturo Fuente cigars & a very thick glass pipe for a wonderful price! - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What a blessing to have this family owned and operated business in our neighborhood. Professionally run , if they don't have what you're looking for , they'll get it. I highly recommend them. Their inventory is bar none! read more

Perhaps the tobacco is 5-star but I assure you that the customer service is 1-star. I've been to this store a few times and I will just go elsewhere when wanting the occasional cigar. It's easily the worst cigar lounge I've ever been to and I've been to several across the country. Most cigar stores at least attempt to make you feel welcome. You're asked what you're interested in getting. There's some level of interaction. Not here. Each time I've been in I've felt like a bother to the employee. Even when purchasing a cigar, the employee doesn't even say how much I owe him. I have to read it off the cash register. The cutting is self-service (which is fine though I find it a bit classier when an employee does it for you much like getting a drink from a bartender) but at least if I'm going to cut my own cigar, don't look at me like I'm going to steal your cutters which I'm not because they're attached by a chain to the table anyway. The prices are fine but it's just an uninviting place. You can head over to Pasadena for a much better experience. Plus, apparently based off other Yelp reviews, they don't close their doors which leads to the smell of smoke throughout the residential neighborhood near the store. This doesn't surprise me as I've seen that door open all the time. They apparently are great at keeping their doors open but can't open their mouths to provide simple and proper customer service. 5-Star Tobacco, 1-Star Logic! read more

Always very helpful, great selection. A very comfortable lounge area to smoke inside.

I was looking for some cigars for my son its boy cigars. Art was very helpful and a large selection of cigars, pipe tobacco. Very friendly, clean, I definitely recommend this place a gem in Eagle Rock! I will be back to hang out for sure. Thanks Art! read more

.., If you love cigars, check this spot out. I've never fancied a cigar, but they have plenty here. My cousin & I came here w/ the intention of using their hookahs. Unfortunately a group of business men had already taken up the entire seating area for the Lakers game. The cigar smoke wrapped around me like bacon on a hot dog. Couldn't get it off, even if you wanted to. We left, but I picked up a pack of American Spirits for sh!ts & giggles. Check em' out. read more

Very nice and clean smoke shop to hang out and smoke a cigar or two with your friends. Prices are very reasonable for a smoke shop compared to online prices. Also, there is a wide variety of cigars to choose from, for sure you will find one of your favorites there. read more

What a gem in the middle of Eagle Rock! I've been going here for many years because of the wide selection and amazing customer service! The owner is always so kind and helpful, always determined to find me what I want! If you are looking for a great tobacco shop, this is the place to be! I highly recommend it :) read more

I truly enjoy being hovered over. Especially when I'm treated in a condescending manner. My favorite! Go here if you like being rushed and treated like second class. :) 1 star for being treated like s#$t by owner. read more

Great shop with a really cool vibe. The owner has a huge selection of cigars. He is always helpful and helps me choose the right cigar for every single new cigar smoking experience. The place has a nice big flat screen television with comfy leather couches to sit on. Time flies and I have sat their for hours chain smoking and enjoying many cigars back to back. Check it out. It's the place to be. read more

Anto is the man. I came in relatively new to cigars and he was so helpful. Lit my smoke and here I am enjoying some Trojan football. Thank you for the service! read more

I just started coming to this place a few weeks ago. They've been terrific. Have a ncie assortment of cigars at reasonable prices. I especially like how they have included me, offered me delicious Armenian coffee and let me just hang and smoke. Very friendly and accomodating. read more

I walked in to 5 star tobacco today to surprise my husband with some cigars. Anto, the owner was amazing! He was so helpful, and kind. He helped me choose a great variety of cigars. My husband was very pleased with the selection. We will definitely be back for more. read more

I grew up with 80's action films. In that I always saw the action star pull out a cigar, bite/cut the tip and then lit it up with every victory. This instilled this idea in my mind that that was completely bad ass to do. The downfall? Cigars can be stinky, they can make you feel like you've smoked a pack of cigs and the next morning you could be coughing up your lungs with the feeling like you just ate an asstray. That's why when you're going to go for a cigar, you got to make sure it's the right fit for you. I'm not a regular smoker but I do love me a good cigar once a year. Typically around Comic con or some other milestone event. And while I have a fairly decent collection of cigars, I don't often smoke them, so a helpful place like Planet Tobacco is perfect. My pet peeve about smoke shops is that there's not enough good ones. They typically fall into the line of having stuff for pot and nothing else. Yeah, I don't want to vaporize my smoking products. I don't smoke nearly enough to even entertain the thought that I'm doing any harm to my lungs. So walking into Planet Tobacco is a nice escape from all that hydroponic/ wacky-looking bong stuff. Roger is a wealth of knowledge and even though you're like me, who maybe smokes one cigar a year, he'll hook you up with the perfect strength cigar for you. The selection is vast and they have something for everyone's pallet and preference. For you cigarette smokers who want some style, the cig cases are really a perfect gift for anyone. Even if they don't smoke, the stylish case makes for a great card carrying device. read more

Cool little spot. Not hard to miss at all. Came here yesterday to buy a hookah pipe. I have actually been here before to buy coals for an old hookah pipe I had before. This time I came to buy a new pipe since I have gotten rid of the other one. I went in looking for one with two hoses but unfortunately they didnt have one that wasnt too small. I still found one that I like with only one hose, and its a really nice size and all. Came with a little carrying case. So I bought some watermelon flavored tobacco, a tropical fruit flavored one and a pack of coals. Total came out to about a little over $50. Not bad at all. read more

Place just opened up about 1 Month ago. The Cigar stock was still coming in but stocked most of the brands I am accustomed to seeing. The humidor room was well stocked with good names (Cohiba, AFuente, Max, Acid, Partagas, Rocky Patel to name a few). Prices were comparable to what I find in many other places. The owner was extremely friendly -- offered coffee even. Tables outside; leather chairs inside; separate chairs/tables inside as well. More stock was coming in and another table in the humidor was being put into the area to hold more cigar stock. TV to watch while seated to smoke your stick. Area is quiet; moderately lit. Plenty of street traffic; parking available on street, around corner. At 9PM, the place had people lighting up, relaxing and talking. Also had cigarettes, cigar and other tobacco's for perusal. Will definitely come back when in the area. read more

The first time I went to this place...I was new to the entire Smoking Lounge thing. After arriving and building up the courage to enter the place to have a smoke...I know this is the place that I want to hang out. They immediately welcomed me into the place and even helped me find a cigar they thought I would like when I described some of the ones that I smoked before. The place is huge and the people are very friendly I am coming back again and again...and I send people there all the time. read more

I've been a cigar guy for a long time. I've been to many cigar lounges all over Los Angeles and hands down 5 Star Tobacco is the only one that really grabbed my attention. The environment, the people, the style, the comfort, and most importantly the selection. You'll feel like it's your own place. The size of the humidor is just perfect, it has the best system humidifier that I've seen. Not overwhelming where you're confused on which cigar to pick. I'm sure we've all been in the situation. Anto is the man! I've introduced many cigar peeps (aficionados) to this place and they can't stay away! The prices are just so amazing compared to all these other places. Also, you can purchase boxes as well with great prices! Once you walk in you fit right in. It's very welcoming! Great folks you'll spark a conversation in a heart beat. Sooner or later you can't stay away from this place. "Can't wait to leave work and head to 5 star." read more

Looking for a place to unwind and have a cigar? Maybe meet with a friend? I'd encourage you to give this place a shot; from the second you walk in you won't think twice about your decision. Customer service exceeds any expectations you can have and the knowledge as it relates to the products offered are mind blowing. The atmosphere is not only welcoming, but it's comfortable. Pick the cigar of your choice and take a seat, light it up and hang out; what more can you ask for? The place is cozy and provides a great opportunity for conversation or merely a spot to relax. If you're in the area make sure you make it a point to pay a visit, I do. read more

Anto is amazing! Great customer service, and he makes you feel at home at his business. He has great prices and great product.

This is a solid cigar joint. I don't smoke, so I'm focusing on the evidence. 1: Giant, well maintained walk-in humidor. 2: You like to vape? Great, they have product for you, but the place doesn't smell like a head shop crossed with Jolly Ranchers. 3: There are always some older folks hanging around, and they won't mess with you in the slightest. I love the ambience because sometimes I WANT to be ignored. 4: They carry some good stuff, but go back to point 1. You could have a CAO or Nub that wasn't stored well, and that would be a sorry experience. These goods are quality and kept right. read more

No customer service. No masks. Everyone just stares at you. I asked the owner for help and he just walked away from me. I had high hopes for this place. read more

Cool place bought a hookah from here not too shabby and they work with you specially with alot of quantity compared to wholesale prices! TFR read more

I'm glad this place exists. I'm not a smoker by any means but from time to time a cigar can make a great gift. My husband and I stopped by to purchase a cigar for our friend who was expecting a child. The fellow working that day was beyond helpful. He honestly took our questions like a champ and we truly appreciated his patience with us. We felt confident walking out of there with our gift. read more

Tasha, Anto is the younger guy and Roger is the owner. Both are great guys. Roger is an old school shop keeper: on my second visit, he greeted me by name and got a customer for life. I initially went because his prices on Bali Shag (roll your own) were quite good, but I returned many times because of the friendly atmosphere. This place is like Cheers, substituting tobacco for alcohol. Roger almost always offers me a coffee and there are often pastries and baclava to go with it. I hadn't really been a cigar smoker when first began buying tobacco from this shop, but I felt very comfortable asking Roger questions and letting him help me try it out. He made excellent suggestions, starting me on milder "value priced" cigars that were quite decent, then had me experiment with different strengths, shapes, and wrappers to see what I liked. Eventually, I got hooked and my cigar hobby has turned into a major obsession! (And as a result, I'm smoking cigarettes much less. Instead of three cans of rolling tobacco a month, I'm going thru about a single can a month.) read more

I have been here couple of times. The guy that runs the shop super nice and knowledgeable about cigars. If you like a great place to sit down and have a smoke good place to be. They have TV inside the shop and comfortable couches and sofas for you to relax anyway you like, women friendly atmosphere as well. I went in today and asked the owner what he would recommend for the weather he was very kind and helped me out to pick a cigar that was totally amazing. He has game boards that you can play as well like chess and backgammon or if you want to ready any magazine some of does to. The walk in humidor has a vast variety of cigars to meet anyone budget. He also offers some girly cigars for the ladies as well. I highly recommend you visit this cigar shop you won't go wrong and if you can't find what your looking for then you should not be smoking... Have a great smoke... read more

Super cool store. Very friendly and helpful with advice on selections. I go here as much as i can in my busy work schedule. You sometimes see Radio and TV personalities sitting and smoking at this shop, not that I care, I am just saying. Monte Cristo No. 2 is the choice to try if they have in stock, or else I usually go for any maduro strength $13 options. They occasionally have professional backgammon competition with animated players going on in the corner side of the shop. read more
