    The master roller let us go on are own.

    Had the best time rolling my own cigar. Got a group on deal. The price was good. Going in, the Instructor was great. It was so ez to roll your own cigar. The place was small but for the people that show up. The class it was just rite. Lot of room to work with. The restrooms was clean. The drinks where on point. The parking is on the back. So you park and walk on. You guys need to try this spot. Lot of woman where there rolling. So it's not just for guys. A date, wife, friends,coworkers. Something to try out.

    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!

    Sip N roll is a awesome class & Chris is a great teacher who has knowledge about cigars. This is definitely a must do to add to your list of things to do when visiting Los Angeles or if you are a local. You will not regret the experience, sign up and see what all the hype is about for yourself.

    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!

    Awesome experience at Cigar Rollers Academy. Our teacher Shawana provided us a phenomenal cigar rolling class. She's patient, helpful, knowledgeable well informed in the cigar industry. This experience has inspired my passion in cigars. Thank you for a great time.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    This was an awesome experience, and it felt super authentic! Chris is a master roller (only 1 of 18 in the US) and he knows his stuff. He was patient and knowledgeable and the class was super fun. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. This is a great class for experienced cigar smokers and beginners alike.

    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!

    Great place and great environment for a group outing. Christopher is a friendly host that will have you roll like a professional. Great quality leaf and tobacco!

    Rolled my first cigar! Had a great time drinking, smoking and learning to roll cigars. Also Chris is a great teacher! Can't recommend enough

    Smoking on of Chris' hand-rolled cigars. The best we've had.

    Don't second guess this decision. Get a couple of friends of make it a date night and make the drive to Crenshaw for a lesson with Chris. 1 of only 15 Master Rollers in the US. relaxed atmosphere, hands-on class and had such a fun time.

    3 hand rolled cigars I get to smoke soon.

    See all

    Chris (owner/master roller) was an excellent teacher and we learned a lot about rolling but also about Cuba.
