I stopped by this place after looking it up on Yelp, it looked pretty classy inside with leather…read morechairs & couches and well displayed cigars. From entering the store to the time I left several hours later this place didn't disappoint. Faris took care of me, from picking out a good smoke to great conversation. The store itself is welcoming and very chic + classy inside. It sets the standard for what a cigar lounge should look like. If you in the Richmond area i highly recommend stopping buy if you enjoy good cigars and a pleasant environment to be in. BTW, This place is located at a mall behind PF Changs. P.S. they also sell tobacco, and allow you to smoke pipes inside, super cool! Enjoy! @kaliking806 #ViBN We are ENERGY!

I walked in and was greeted by Mike himself. He not only gave me a quick run through of his stock. But the gentleman has genuine great conversations with his customers that have nothing to do with sales... A really nice person. He has quite a few accessories that I need to buy, so I will definitely be stopping in again soon. Glad that I found his business with the Yelp app

This place is one of my favorite places to stock up on my cigars and cigar necessities. When I…read morefirst started to smoke cigars uncle Mikey really helped me out picking a good variety of cigars and explaining the differences in taste and boldness of each. Not only will uncle Mikey help you pick some out and answer all your questions, cigar related or not, but if you have the time he doesn't mine you grabbing a seat and smoking one or two with you. Great shop with some great patrons who are always ready to smoke one with you or give you their opinion on cigars or the what-haps of the world. If you are a cigar aficionado or just interested come check his shop out, you will not be disappointed and maybe I'll see you there.

I don't give bad reviews lightly, but Higher Education robbed me of $70. They did this by selling…read moreme a cheaply made knock-off grinder and then refusing to accept a return. Higher Education are criminals who are damaging the name of an American Company, Cali Crusher, as well as trust in local businesses. I brought the clean and unused grinder back into Higher Education, along with the receipt, and proof that it was a knockoff. The Owner's reply after acknowledging that it was fake grinder was: "No returns. No returns, no exceptions. Do you want me to keep repeating myself?" This is the most unprofessional and disgusting way of doing business I've seen from a RVA proprietor outside of Seibert's Towing. Selling cheaply made knockoff goods for premium price of $70 and refusing to accept returns is simply criminal. The Owner has made this practice his policy, and for that reason Higher Education does not deserve your business. PS: The Grinder is fake because: 1) It visibly doesn't have Cali Crusher's patented 4-Way Quick Lock System. it just has regular cheap metal threading 2) It doesn't have the crossbar supports beneath the screen. 3) It has a cheap plastic pollen scraper, instead of Cali Crusher's signature guitar pick shape.

The associate even admitted it was his fault for selling me the wrong size, but his manager wouldn't let him do the obvious decent thing--which was exchange it. I mean seriously, what the heck is that? When I called the manager myself, she wouldn't even hear me out, just saying "no refunds" and "you should have read the signs before buying something." Totally not how the law works, much less basic retail service. I seriously hope that $85 one-time sale was worth losing a repeat customer and pissing off a neighbor.
