I will forever be grateful to Ted for turning me on to good cigars just over a year ago. This was only my second time stopping by CDM Cigars but both experiences have been genuinely memorable. I have really enjoyed purchasing cigars and supporting the business, but honestly, just as much as that, I've enjoyed talking with Ted. His knowledge and experience with cigars is incredible and you can tell he genuinely loves sharing it with people. Great cigars, great conversation, and the kind of local business I'll always look forward to visiting whenever I'm in Corona Del Mar / Newport Beach or anywhere close. read more

Stopped in today to check out the shop and man am I glad I did. The selection is fantastic, the prices are great for California, and Ted was a wellspring of knowledge! I've been smoking cigars for 40 years and in 15 minutes I learned a ton from him. I'll definitely be back. read more

CDM Cigars deserves every bit of praise my boyfriend gave them--and more! He's so passionate about cigars and knows his stuff inside and out, so when he raved about this shop, I knew it had to be something special. What really impressed me is that he picked out cigars just for me, and let's just say: I'm officially hooked. The quality, flavor, and smoothness of what I tried were beyond what I expected and the value they made me see in the cigars is crazy! I love it You can tell this place isn't just about selling cigars--they truly care about helping you find something you'll love. It's a perfect spot whether you're a seasoned smoker (like my boyfriend!) or someone like me who's just discovering how enjoyable a fine cigar can be. I'm so glad we found CDM Cigars. It's now our go-to stop in Newport. Highly recommend! read more

CDM Cigars is officially my go-to cigar spot and trust me, I don't say that lightly. Antoine and Ted made me feel like I was part of the crew. They were beyond helpful, answered every question I had with patience and expertise, and went the extra mile to make sure I found exactly what I was looking for. The selection here is phenomenal. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just starting your cigar journey, there's something here for everyone. I've already recommended this place to friends who are long-time smokers and a few newbies who are just getting into it. CDM Cigars is that perfect blend of welcoming and knowledgeable. Can't recommend it enough. This is your new favorite cigar shop. Just accept it now. You'll thank me later. read more

Just wanted to thank Ted (The Owner) of the cigar shop! Absolute standout gentleman! I'm new to smoking cigars and don't know much about them at all and Ted answered all my questions, gave me recommendations on his favorite ones, and helped me pick a great cigar! Ended up trying the Padron 1926 and it was fantastic. We ended up chatting for a while and smoking cigars outside. Amazing family owned place. His son Antwon is also an owner. Didn't get a chance to meet him but I'm sure his customer service is 10/10 as well! Anyone in the area looking for a cigar shop, I highly recommend CDM Cigars. Ted will take care of you!!

I was having lunch in Fashion Island yesterday at Hododdys and I searched Yelp for any new cigar stores in the area. Low and behold CDM Cigars showed up with stellar reviews so I had to check it out. The store is tucked away on a side street, Poinsettia, but I was able to find a parking spot on PCH, not always an easy thing to do, especially on the weekend, so I felt like I had won the Lotto. I walked into the store and I literally walked into their humidor! The entire store is set up at 72% RH. Their selection of cigars is pretty impressive, even though they are still waiting for other inventory to arrive from their vendors. If you're a Pete Johnson fan, you'll be in heaven as they carry a good selection of his sticks, including Tatuaje. You won't find any low budget smokes here, but their are plenty of great quality cigars in the $10-$20 range. Ted and Antoine are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate about cigars and they will make you feel welcome. They have a limited selection of lighters, cutters and butane, but you come here for the cigars. Oh, and if you're looking for cigarettes or a hookah, please look somewhere else. The only bummer, as another reviewer pointed out, this is only a store, and not a lounge, so you can't hang around and enjoy your stick while watching sports or chatting with fellow cigar smokers. However, they mentioned that Gulfstream restaurant has a cigar friendly patio, so you can enjoy a drink and food, as you light up a Tatuaje Verocu! Fellow Yelpers, and cigar lovers, if you're in the area, please support these guys. Good luck, Ted and Antoine. read more

I was in the neighborhood today visiting an old friend and on my way over to the Balboa peninsula I…read moreremember that there is an Up In Smoke store on the way!! As anyone who has read my other review of the store that was previously on Bristol was my long time place for all my accessories like hemp wicks, water pipes, papers, and all things smoking related. Today marks the day that I solved the quest to understand the connection of ALL the Up In Smoke stores!! First, a huge amount of gratitude to Bruce who filled me in on Mike and Murad, who are the original people that own and operate the stores. I used to chat regularly with Mike at the Bristol store and he always was solid on hooking up the great glass!! Bruce and the other guys at the shop are incredibly welcoming and the store is impeccable. They have everything you need, especially if you're like me and "fumble" your "piece" and it breaks at the beach. OR in case you accidentally loose track of your papers and they get "donated" to the sand gods Up In Smoke is right there off of Newport Blvd South just up on the left hand side a little bit past the liquor store also on the left. You can also access the store on the North bound side of Newport Blvd just past 26th Street. There are pay kiosks for some of the street parking so be aware of it so you don't get a ticket. The store has a great selection of pipes, water pieces, gear for vaping, also a nice selection of cigars should you be in "the mood". All the other accessories like protective bags for traveling with your piece, rolling trays, selection of tobacco for argile/hookah smokers, e juices, etc. Again, location, location, location! Literally steps from the beach, the bar, the restaurants, whatever your destination or reason Up In Smoke is right there for you. Enjoy!!!

As I walked in, there was a small crowd mixed with young and older men who were all working on their laptops or phone. It was quiet and the only show on was some golf. The store clerk or manager was a bit of a stickler. He came into the humidor a few times to constantly tell this customer to stop smelling the cigars and even to stop touching them. I understand there should be a cigar store etiquette which definitely should be "No smelling cigars" and it's our responsibility as customers not to do those things but to again get asked NOT to touch the cigars; now that's slightly rude. It kind of gives off the type of vibe in here which is stuck up. It's a bit too quiet in here for my liking; people can literally hear your conversation. I wish there was some jazzy or Cuban salsa music in the background along with more people talking to each other but that's not what this place is. It's a quiet and intimate lounge. Their humidor has some good selections such as Padron, Davidoff, Tatuaje, Don Pepin, and even EP Carrillo. Price is fair I'd say but average price is about $20-$25 starting. I would come back again most definitely especially since it's one of the only cigar lounges around New Port.

I used to chat with Mike at the store he managed on Bristol Ave formerly. Now today I got the story straight from the crew at both locations and my guy Johnny at the location here on Newport Blvd North and Wilson in Costa Mesa. First, make sure that you're headed north on Newport Blvd back in the direction of Santa Ana. Then just past 23rd Street you'll see the stop light at Wilson. The center is immediately on the right, be careful as the parking lot is rather tight. Also there's the 7/11 right next door. My guy Johnny was also super nice and accommodating when I asked him if I could take some pictures. One thing I noticed was that this location also has a good selection of Kratom from various brands. Really nice to add to your coffee or in a protein shake. Also this location has a cool Zippo lighter display with a decent selection of cool lighters. A slightly larger selection of Hookahs than the Newport/Balboa store. Everything else is solid and quite comparable to the Balboa store. Fantastic service whichever locations you might find yourself visiting. What I personally like is that these are family owned and operated, veteran owned, and have provided the community around Costa Mesa, Newport, Irvine, area for over a couple of decades now. You can't go wrong with stopping by any of the stores, they have exactly what you need and the best crews in store there to help you get exactly what you want. I HIGHLY recommend the Up In Smoke stores whichever location is nearest you. Enjoy!!

"Congrats, You Lost a Loyal Customer Over a $1 Water Bottle!"…read more I've been going to this smoke shop for TWO YEARS, dropping enough cash on vapes and juice to probably fund the owner's next vacation. Easily over $2,500 in clouds of fruity smoke. So imagine my shock when one of the owners comes sprinting after me like I'm shoplifting diamonds... over a ONE DOLLAR WATER BOTTLE. Mind you, they've given me water for free before. But suddenly, this $1 bottle must've been liquid gold. The look of pure existential frustration in the owner's eyes was like I'd just asked him for his firstborn child instead of a sip of Dasani. I guess loyalty means nothing when they're counting pennies. So here's the deal: Thousands spent on vapes? Check. Loyal customer for 2 years? Check. Free water bottle? DENIED. I hope that $1 was worth it, because you officially lost a customer who practically pays your electric bill. I'll be taking my vape habit (and my thirst) elsewhere. P.S. Next time, maybe save the Olympic-level sprinting for actual shoplifters... not your regulars who keep you in business.

CMD Cigars is a great spot for cigar lovers. They have an excellent selection, whether you're a seasoned smoker or just getting into cigars. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely helpful--he takes the time to understand what you're looking for and makes spot-on recommendations based on your preferences, not just what's popular or expensive. You can tell he really cares about the experience. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Wow AMAZING customer service! I've always been hesitant to walk into a Cigar store being a lady and feeling intimidated, but Ted and Antoine made me feel so comfortable with their outstanding and friendly customer service. They really helped me choose the best cigars for my Fiancé. Not only was the customer service great, so were the prices!! I recommend everyone go and check them out at their brand new location in Corona Del Mar!! read more

My friend and I were in town on vaca and found Antoine and the shop. His customer service was fantastic. Not only recommended a place for us to eat and go smoke but called the owner to set it up. Selection was terrific as well! Will definitely visit next time I am in town. read more

Great Cigar shop. Almost didn't go there because of the $$$$ rating. It should be rated as a $$. Not sure who gives that rated but it is wrong - it is a very reasonably priced cigar store. Fantastic selection cigars and the owner is there giving good recommendations. read more
