I hang out at a cigar lounge in Ontario called Casa De La Riva. Chris from the cigar roller Academy can you buy today and held a class on rolling cigars. It was an absolute blast and Chris is extremely knowledgeable. I would do it again and will probably set something up with my friends that couldn't make it today. If you like cigars and you need to try this. read more

I mean, where do I even begin? First of all, we were not prepared for LA traffic and immediately called Chris and asked if he'd halt the class to accommodate our tardiness and he did! (Wasn't expecting that.) When we did arrive, the class was already having a good time! The class: this man is a true expert and professional at what he does! He was patient, knowledgeable, and hilarious! He and his assistant made this a truly fun and memorable experience! We definitely had fun celebrating our friends' birthday and would definitely do it again!! read more

Cigar Roller Academy - The master roller let us go on are own. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Buena Park, California

So many great things to say here. First of all the place has a super great vibe with Chris as the master of ceremonies! We learned the basics of cigars and rolling our own. I came away with 3 beautiful (if I do say so myself) cigars and a wonderful fun memory. Everything is so well organized for the class. We brought our own port but Chris had Cuban rum which hit the spot and matched the theme of the evening. I met some really nice people at the class as well! Chris is a great instructor and has so many stories and jokes. He's super knowledgeable and makes the art of what he does accessible. I'm hooked. I want to take the advanced class and will certainly look into that next. Chris also does private classes so if you're looking for a fun team event, you can't go wrong with a sip and roll class! read more

BEST cigar I've ever had. I was shocked at how smooth, sweet and flavorful the cigar was. Chris was very knowledgeable on the intricacies in cigars, rolling, everything. The academy offers private classes and options to bring our own beverage (I'm particular with my drinks so this was great). Dont judge the outside/location, because inside is nice, comfy chairs, and they have all the equipment we needed. Oh! And gated parking in the rear! (I love not having to search!) The overall vibe is sweet with mix of music, people, etc. Note, it did NOT smell like smoke which was a huge plus for my non smoking friend. Recommended for any level even non cigar smokers. I'll be hiring for my next event! read more

I've been looking for something like Cigar Roller Academy for years... Absolutely wonderful experience. If you've been smoking cigars your entire life, just started, or never even had a cigar, I recommend checking it out. It gives you a new perspective on the art and skill of the cigar roller. The instructor is has a depth of knowledge and experience that one could only gain from the masters in Cuba. It was fun and educational. I plan on taking the advanced class as soon as possible. Thank you CRA! read more

What are you waiting for?? If you love cigars, this is the spot you need to go. We all love a good time. Learning more about how cigars are rolled definitely enhances the experience. Chris and crew make it happen - easy and fun. The class more than pays for itself. You'll have plenty of fresh cigars to smoke once you're done (or during). Let me tell you, a freshly hand rolled cigar is better than 95% of anything you'd buy out of a box. Hell, even if cigars aren't your thing, it's a brilliant idea for date night with your squeeze or your boys. My lady isn't a smoker, but made the plan for Father's Day. It was a blast. 6 stars!! Book CRA and thank me later. Cheers! Side note: It's BYOB, but I think there are usually a couple of options provided to sip while you roll. read more

I drove all the way from Ontario, CA and this place was absolutely amazing! It seemed a little weird to drive out to Crenshaw Blvd to a cigar rolling class but man was i pleasantly surprised. Rolled 3 cigars and 1 came out pretty perfect. Will absolutely be back soon with clients and friends. Chris is the owner and he's super nice and walks you through the steps. Do yourself a favor and come here! read more

Love love love the class. I bought the class via Groupon and was a bit hesitant but bought it anyway because of the reviews I've read! Well, it definitely did not disappoint! The class typically takes 12 people, the more the merrier...but on the day that my boyfriend and I went, it was only us. Which was cool because it was a one on one with the master roller aka Chris ! Chris made us feel so comfortable and taught us what we needed to know! He answered every questions....and I had a lot! Long story short, we had a lot of fun and gained a lot knowledge cigars! I'd most likely do this again with a couple of our friends! read more

I bought a Groupon for a 90 min sip and roll for my bf on his birthday and It was money well spent! Super clean and chill environment. Learned a lot about rolling and cigars in general. You're getting a lesson from one of the top rollers, I highly recommend it! read more

As a first time Cigar roller, Chris provided a welcoming environment and clear step-by-step instructions. The Roll and Sip is the way to go, you take the stress away of learning how to roll a cigar with a nice cocktail (complimentary). I don't smoke cigars but I'm happy to have a cigar that I rolled to show off to friends. Pro Tip: Parking is available in the back. read more

Attended the Cigar Rollers Academy and had an amazing time. Chris is knowledgeable, professional, and very y engaging. He gives excellent hands on instruction in rolling cigars.

I plan to go again and bring a group We went just to try it out, but we definitely plan on returning. Definitely worth the money. AG read more

Wow! What a fun class! My boyfriend and I had the best date ever learning from Chris and Shawana how to roll fresh cigars. It was so informative and entertaining.

Where do I even begin!! I got myself and my husband seats to take this class and it was so much fun. Chris makes the whole environment feel like you are just hanging with friends learning how to make cigars. They offer a couple different classes and we will be going back for more. You can actually bring a bottle of wine or some Whiskey ( or whatever you drink) and sip while you roll. Chris also answered all of our questions and was very informative, you can tell he knows what he is doing. I am more of a tiny flavored filtered cigar smoker and that changed last night, Chris let me try a cigar he rolled and told me if would be the best i've ever smoked and he was right, it was so delicious and exactly the type of cigar I like to smoke. Try this class out you won't regret it!!! read more

This was the most incredible, and fun evening. Chris the owner and instructor was so welcoming. If you wanna learn about cigars and have a great time, come here! We are planning alot more visits and by the way, cigars are sooooo good. The instructions to roll were easy because Chris made it that way. Shiwana is awesome ! Bought her book, yea women can smoke cigars. You're da Queen. read more

Awesome experience! Our master roller, Chris was informative, patient, helpful and made the class fun. He taught us the basics and we rolled all 3 of our Cuban cigars on our own as he guided us along the way. It was definitely a different and fun experience that you don't come across any where else. We brought our own whiskey but also tried his Cuban rum which was smooth with a hint of sweetness. After rolling, we got to smoke our end products and it came out pretty smooth! But Chris let me try a rum-soaked cigar that he rolled himself and damn! That was smoOOooOth!! You can definitely taste the difference between what we rolled and what he rolled...don't get me wrong, ours was smooth, but damn his cigar was on point!! And I'm no cigar smoker but that cigar was good. Overall it was such a fun experience to try something new and different. Great way to change up a typical night out! I would definitely recommend this whether you're going solo or even as a party. Who else can say they've been taught by a master roller to roll their own Cuban cigars?! read more

This guy Christopher is the rudest most unprofessional guy I have ever dealt with. I scheduled a cigar rolling party with him a couple of weeks ago. I called him today to confirm for this Saturday. He told me he needed more information and payment in full. With all the scams and all going around today. I inquired about the payment in full I just had a party with a professional ventriloquist about a month ago , they asked for a downpayment prior to the event and the balance on the day of the event. Christopher got all upset because I inquired about the payment in full, and wanting to know, what was my reinsurance that he would show up after being paid in advance. He told me to find another roller and hung up the phone on me. Sound like he was going to run with my money by the way he respond . Let me tell you The cost was over $800. Who let that kind of money go over the phone with no guaranteed of service? Christopher if you didn't want the job be a man a say so. Bad business . Christopher this is not how I roll.. next stop is BBB read more

This place is wonderful! Came here on 06/08/2019 for their Roll 'n Sip class and it was so much fun. Chris was such a cool instructor - a master roller; one of 17 or so in the US - and was so helpful and encouraging throughout. He even has his own cigars he rolls available for purchase; his maduro is the best I've ever had. Thank you for an enjoyable time. I can't wait to return!! read more

Think Color Me Mine but worlds better because you roll cigars!! Ive been smoking cigars many years and have always wanted to try to roll a cigar and Chris provides the best way to do that while having a blast. Drinking rum and coke and rolling, doesn't get much better than that! Chris is also very knowledgable about tobacco types, the cigar industry and obviously a skilled roller which becomes evident after you roll your fist cigar. But don't let your skills hold you back from having fun which the class was, just a great time for anyone. Must try for all read more

Rolling cigars is so much fun. We can't wait to go back. Our instructor was great. Very informative.
