I visited the shop and met Sam, he was gracious and offered at no charge to troubleshoot my vintage Ronson Veraflame lighter. While there, I picked up a few cigars too in their heavily stocked humidor and also found free parking out front in the lot made it very convenient to visit. Try this place out! read more

One of only two higher quality cigars shops in West LA, the other is the wolf place you can look it up. Excellent selection of brands even difficult ones to find online. I order most of my sticks from Holt's but they don't have several that you can find here. Such as the Fuente Fuente Opus X @ $79 a pop. A other tough one to find: Foundation Cigars Tabernacle which they have a very large collection of labels and sizes. Oliva also has a large selection including Oliva Series 5 Melanio which earned a 97 rating on Cigar Aficionado. Highly recommend this place for any serious enthusiasts. They also just did a mini renovation and the shop looks better than ever - much more organized. They had the FIFA tourney on while I was there... the gentleman usually there very pleasant and great service - brought a tray in for me my hands were getting full LOL. Expensive. No discounts here. Bring your wallet. read more

Nice man, but sold me expensive lighter for a price higher than that on the manufacturer's online store and one that has been used. I asked for a small discount on the lighter as the price seemed high. No discount. Okay. I paid whatever they charged. Later when I got home I found out the manufacturer sells it for less on their online store. Also asked if the lighter has been used. Was told no. It is a new lighter. When I got home, I see signs of discoloration and sediment due to the flame, so obviously the lighter has been used. My fault for trusting the store keeper. I was hoping for more honesty, but unfortunately making a quick buck was more important for this business. Congratulations. I hope they enjoy the money they made off me and feel good about it. read more

Highly recommend Cigar Emporium! They were able to help me bring a Colibri electro quartz vintage lighter back to life. Works like a charm now. They are also very friendly and knowledgable. A must stop shop for any of your cigar or lighter needs! read more

Great selection, great derive. I would definitely go back for any cigar or lighter needs.

Sam is incredible! He is so kind and was able to bring the spark back from a vintage lighter that was given to me and now it works perfectly fine. You can tell he is very passionate and knowledgeable about lighters. Definitely would come back again read more

The owners of Cigar Emporium were beyond nice enough to help restore my Vintage Table Lighter, free of charge. This has been sitting around for 50+ years and they were able to fix it within 20 minutes. I can't thank them enough!! read more

Cigar Emporium - VINTAGE TABLE LIGHTER RESTORATION - Tobacco Shops Near Me - West Hollywood, California

One of my favorite cigar shops to purchase cigars. A couple of upsides are the selection of premium cigars are great, such as Arturo Fuentes, Pedrons, Placencia and Drew Estate to name a few. The prices are comparable to other shops in LA. Cigar Emporium is located in the Beverly neighborhood, good location. Though there is a parking lot, it's tight space and rather crowded at times. The shop is small but is large enough to not feel crammed. There are other items to purchase as well, including lighters, cutters, cigarettes and soft drinks. As you enter the glass doors of humidor, the scent of broad leaf tobacco is in the air. Whenever I'm in the area, I make a trip here to purchase a fine cigar read more

I've looked everywhere in LA for a vintage lighter repair shop, and Sam at Cigar Emporium was the only one who offered to take on the repair. I took it in today, and Sam and his friend, whose name I didn't get, were awesome. They fixed it while I waited. I even learned a few things, which made this an invaluable experience. Sam treated every customer who came through the door as a friend and even knew all of their names -- lovely atmosphere with happy people. I'm already enjoying the lighter so much. Definitely recommend this place! THANK YOU!! I'll be back even though it's a bit of a drive. read more

Cigar Emporium - Tobacco Shops Near Me - West Hollywood, California

These guys are great all family. Very good selection. I got to laugh at some low star reviews because they don't fix lighters or they didn't have something. Get a life people! Quit being wiener's. Great place thanks. read more

Their website indicated they did lighter repairs. I should have called to confirm, but drove 20 miles to discover they didn't and was advised to come back later in the day when the owner would be there and "maybe" he might have a suggestion. Wasted time and effort. Won't be going back... read more

Love this place ! Sam is great and wonderful customer service . Place is very nice to come to .

This is really wonderful shop. Sam, who was minding the store, was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The prices are very fair from what I tell and they do have a proper humidor. While small, the store is well equipped and very safe: shields, masks, and sanitizer. For someone who is new the world of cigars, Sam got me started off in an excellent direction. read more

Absolute gem in Los Angeles! Sam at Cigar Emporium was able to fix my grandfather's vintage lighter after trying to find so many other businesses to do so. He is a find for this lost art. Amazing customer service and a sweet, generous and gorgeous guy. Great vibes in the store. 2 thumbs and 2 toes up!! Thanks so much Sam!!! read more

New kid in town,great stock,very clean establishment,enthusiastic owner..check them out

Great selection of premium cigars and even better customer service. Sam is the gold standard of merchants.. Smart, friendly, professional and knowledgable, he is one of the main reasons that I choose to stop by a few times a week to purchase cigars. I highly recommend supporting this business! Aside from the great cigars that they have to offer, you will also find an array of top notch accessories pertaining the world of tobacco. This establishment is a perfect example of how a high quality small business should be managed. read more

Huge selection of cigars!!! HUGE!!! These guys even have E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel which was Cigar of the year for 2020. The owner is genuinely interested, nice, and knowledgeable! Prices are great and selection of cigars even better. So many rare and hard to find cigars. The humidor is perfect and the cigar shows it. Sam needs to have cigar lounge! read more

Cigar Emporium is the BEST!! I took my Cartier lighter to Mike who said he would try to fix it.....AND.....HE FIXED IT...when Cartier couldn't! (Backstory: I originally took my lighter to Cartier, who shipped it to their facility in Texas...and they said it was beyond repair). Cigar Emporium came through. After I dropped off the lighter, I got a call 10 mins later from Mike saying, "I fixed your lighter, swing by and pick it up.) I was thrilled. The lighter had sentimental value, and was originally very expensive. I am very happy with the service at Cigar Emporium. I highly recommend them! read more

This place is great! They have a wide selection and Sam provided me with great customer service. Will stop by again soon

Been there a couple of times. Cigar emporium has an expansive and quite impressive selection of cigars. I highly recommend it

Sam is a nice guy he help find cigars for my boyfriend and he was very knowledgeable, and sweet im differently coming back, they have a good variety of cigars I would recommend!!! read more

Sam is awesome. So warm and so knowledgeable about all things lighters- including vintage ones. He was a huge help! Thank you Sam!

First off let me address some of the negatives for stogie lovers like myself. 1) it is in West Hollywood, and WEHO laws dictate no smoking in public or any business establishments, and probably more than that. 2) in concordance with the aforementioned, this means that they do not have a smoking lounge. 3) It is on Santa Monica Blvd, and traffic flow on that street is horrible 24/7. However, I will not hold these things against them. This place's walk in humidor is massive, with plenty of space to pack it with more cigars. The prices here are below average, i.e., Opus X @ $21, Montecristo #2 @ $14, Asthton (Torpedo) @ $16, Rocky Patel Edge @ $7, Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur @ $9, Nub @ $7.5...just to name a few. Also this place has a fair amount of smoking accessories unlike some places (Chivas of Pasadena), it isn't crowded with accessories. In fact, they even carry the expensive $1000 ST Dupont lighters (Soft flame, champagne noise making) at prices lower than usual, as well as the cheaper St Dupont torch flame lighters. For a cigar lover, this place is a near haven, even for cigarette smokers they have a huge selection of cigarettes. Worth visiting and seeing for yourself. read more

I love this place and they are so nice. I used to go to their old location and this one is SO WONDERFUL and they remain the nicest people ever. read more

Entering this Smoke Shop 7/25/2017 was not a good experience. I wanted to purchase a Juul Starter Kit, and the didn't have any. They had the one with the battery which was $35.99 and you had to purchase the cartridges of 4 separately which was $27.99. I was also very interested in the Vapes, which meant spending more money for which I had no problem with. He could have made more of a sale to me had he been knowledgeable of the Stores products. I had asked if JUUL was the same as Blu E-Cig and he said, it has the same volume...whatever that meant I'll never know. I had asked about the Vapes and he pointed and said, they're all good. Needless to say, I bought the JUUL with a battery and the cartridges separately for a total of $69.90, only to find out later at other Smoke Shops it was far cheaper, a starter kit for Juul is $49.99 including 4 cartridges. Cartridges alone are $14.95 for 4. What a RIP OFF from this Smoke Shop!!! I had opened the JUUL in the Store and took one puff and WOW, it was so much strong than the Blu E-Cig. I had asked for my money back and he said, no. I told him that there is nothing on the receipt or in the Store indicating store policies, or stating no refund, he still said no. My advice on this Smoke Shop, is DO NOT PURCHASE any major products from here. You can purchase them far cheaper elsewhere and can get better knowledgeable service. Kind of makes me wonder how this place is still open.........what else are they doing besides selling Tobacco??!!?? read more

Great humidor and selection of cigars. They have plenty of other products as well. The staff are always professional. Highly recommend!

One of the best cigar shops I've been to. They have an excellent humidor and the cigars are reasonably priced.

Good cigars and proper humidor. Love the in-out speed of going in, selecting my stogie and getting out. They have a great selection and good prices. You guys do a good job and need more props from your customers! read more

I had such a great experience with Cigar Emporium. The gentleman who helped me gave me sound advise, great suggestions, and a friendly and personable experience. I forgot his name, but he was a taller dark haired individual with a speak impediment, which made this experience even more impactful. He worked to speak with clarity and passion every time we conversed, and made sure I left satisfied and happy. He gave me a complimentary cigar cutter when I mentioned that I had to find my cutter as I was in the middle of a move. That level of consideration made me a fan for life. I love cigars and will be shopping at Cigar emporium exclusively from here on out. Thank you for such a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to come back. read more

The best cigar shop in LA -- a regular visit and the staff always gives great recommendations for a good smoke. Wide selection of quality products. read more

You get 5 stars for your prices and selection but you only get 3 stars for the overall experience. Please hire someone who knows what you are selling. Thanks for the 10% discount on the over $100 purchase and for ordering my suggestion. I will be back! read more

I want to give 5 because it is my favorite smoke shop, good prices and friendly staff.... But I have been waiting 30 minutes outside for them to open. The sign says open at 9am, what happened? Oh well, regretfully I will drive elsewhere. read more

This Cigar/cigarette shop has the nicest people in the planet! I think they are Syrians-But I know the owner personally and he treats you with kindness and he accepts all my CAMEL CRUSH coupons!!!! There is not a better smoke shop in the 50 mile radius or maybe 30 mile--lol read more

Created a Yelp just to write this. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! The merchandise is poor quality and the team running it is rude! I went in to buy an Herb grinder because I seen they had the Sharpstone brand. The product was FAKE! I opened it and metal shavings fell out and when I went to return it 10 minutes later he claims the grinder I had bought was not purchased at the location! The man starts yelling at me embarrassing me in front of other customers and finally he returned the product after almost 30 minutes of arguing. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Save your money and time. There's other shops in the area. read more

superb cigar selection. My boss sends me in to grab him the cigars they have seen me a couple times i can walk in and they know what i need!!! awesome only 4 star because parking sucks--------- read more

Whether you're in Santa Monica or Hollywood you can't beat these guys' prices. An Aston VSG Pegasus is $12.99 here instead of stores in the West Side that sell them for 2 dollars more. Every other cigar is at least 2 dollars off compared to everywhere else and the clerk is a nice humble man that takes his time and talks to you. Parking is a hassle but man once you step inside their humidor you'll see this store is a total gem. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! you owe it to yourself to check this place out and if you're into cigars - you will be in 7th heaven!!! Mike and all the guys who work there are great!!! read more
