This is my go to shop Miss Pam and her staff are the best. Hands down best cigar shop in New York…read moremaybe even the Northeast. The selection is insane I think it's the biggest humidor in the capital region. They have a great many cigars at a good value and some crazy high end ones that are a once in a life time find. The lounge is great and friendly and the surrounding plaza has many great food and drink options.

Great selection, rarely do they not have a brand or size im looking for. Humidor is kept clean and…read moreorganized. This is my go to retail store in the area. I prefer this over the one in EG. Downsides are: I really wish they'd update their air filtration and lounge. The best shops I've visited in the country allow you to go buy some sticks without "having" to stink like smoke. Is what it is though, I get it. They also allow cigarette smoking. Nothing worse than trying to enjoy premium tobacco with people ripping darts. Pricing is on the high end. You can definitely pay cheaper online, with delivery fees. Overall, worth it.

I just left there without buying a cigar…read more.... Im not sure If the salesman was just a moron or was racially profiling me or was a misogynist, but I dont need a man who is YOUNGER than me to GUIDE me around by the nose in a teeny humidor to by one Davidoff cigar for my new BF. He was so obvious. If he wanted me to check my bags, say so, but dont be a creep. Not a friendly store for women.

Their bongs are marked up from 1400% to 3000% from the manufacturer, and it's not even good quality. The selection there is also quite poor. Do not go here if you're looking for any type of glass.

I found exactly what I wanted, which is saying a lot bc I am a picky and high maintenance customer…read more The staff was friendly and patient and willing to answer my questions and didn't blink twice when I rejected the first 5 things he showed me; then he seemed to understand my enthusiasm at finally finding just the right item. Aside from my primary purchase, they also had a lot of little items I've been looking for. (I said I'm picky so finding the right papers and the right tips is actually a big deal). Items were priced as expected. My friend and I were given just the right amount of space to look around, combined with the right amount of attention to ask questions when we needed. To the reviewer who complained about not being able to return something: every head shop I have ever been to for the past 30 years has had the exact same "no returns, no exceptions" policy. I also had a problem with the first PAX I bought (different shop), and contacting PAX was easy and they replaced my item quickly. This is standard policy.

It's cool to have a little new shop inside the Crossgates Mall in Albany. Newsagents are something from my childhood that I really think is part of a dying breed of things that will be gone forever soon. I miss them. They were around for a long time and they're basically gone now. So I'm glad this is here even if it doesn't have all the sexy and/or European and/or music and/or soccer stuff I'd want to buy.

I was asked what type of cigar my neighbor likes, and since I purchased them before, I said Cohibas. I also mentioned he had a heart procedure a year ago, and he suggested a mild cigar would probably be the best choice for him. He recommended Padrons, and since I know what I don't know, I said I'll take 3 of them. Well, when I gave them to my neighbor, along with a few other thank you gifts, he was very impressed. The next day he told me how much he enjoyed his first one as he was sitting outside after dinner. I usually come here for gifts for my friends that enjoy their cigars, and I have never been disappointed.
