The service....great. The location....great. The ambiance....great. But....the cigars? Beyond great. Don't miss this place. The friendliest owner (Laith) and truly original, delicious cigars. Enjoy! Also, in search of a Ineos Grenadier? Or most other highlines? Laith has connections! read more

Don't miss this place! Custom, incredible cigars. Nice atmosphere. Good location....sit inside or on the boulevard. read more

This is THE gold standard of cigar shops. I actually wish that there was a way of leaving an extra star just for places like The Cuban Seed Cigar, Co. and it's owner Mr. Haddad. Mr. Laith Haddad is what other business owners should strive to be; kind, welcoming, engaging, and willing to go the extra mile to make a new customer feel informed about a new area of interest such as cigars. I took my husband & our best friend to Cuban Seed Cigar, Co. for a after Christmas surprise gift and we were blown away by the expertise of Mr. Haddad. His expansive knowledge and customer charm really put us at ease while he explained the different blends and ages of the cigar stock. To say that we walked away with a cool history lesson in cigar history would be an understatement. I would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone, local or abroad, for their cigar needs. read more

Cuban Seed Cigar Co - Just a few of the cigars from the Cuban Seed Cigar, Co. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I am what you call an avid cigar smoker. I don't live in LA but Was there for a visit and decided to explore what this cigar shop is all about!...bought 4 of their cigars each between $35-$40. At first I was kind of surprised by the prices of the offered stogies and these were the cheapest sticks I could find in their store. They have cigars much more expensive. However, I decided to give it a shot. I have smoked two of those cigars, one of them called Latte Lancero and the other one Pyramid Ultimo. I must admit they both exceeded my expectation. I am sure that I will pay them a visit once in LA again. read more

Great cigars. They are all house brand but they have huge range of sticks and prices. Check em out if you have time. Super nice folks working there too! read more

I'm all about small business and paying extra for the local economy. I recently went into the store to buy a tin of Romeos. I typically pay between 18-22$ retail. this store wanted 40$ for the exact same tin. I went around the corner to a place that sold them for 18$ plus tax. I feel after looking at their prices of cigars that were not in the orginal boxes but displayed in non Retail boxes that this establishment is selling cigars that are way over priced and may or may not be orginal or genuine. This is clearly a highly questionable establishmen. read more

Hands down my favorite cigar shop! Paul is usually at the counter when I come in and I always appreciate him. He's a great guy, easy conversation and part of the family that owns and runs the business. He knows the cigars in and out and can make great recommendations as well as tell you the history of the tobacco and cigars. The cigars are always fresh, not plastic wrapped which I really appreciate. The flavors are incredible, always smooth and worth every penny. This I where I go for my own enjoyment and when I want to get someone a nice cigar! read more

This is hands down my favorite place in LA for cigars! Family owned small batch cigars that are unparalleled in taste, construction, and smoke. The Fire Oak is my favorite. If you are a serious cigar smoker, you have to add this joint to list of cigar shops to buy from! read more

I usually don't post reviews on most businesses even if I'm a regular as they lack the personal approach. Most businesses you go to, whether it be a restaurant or cigar shop like this, you only go for the product and leave. Laith's approach took me off guard. He refers to you by name and is never busy to help guide you, even if you're new to the cigar scene like myself. His cigar selection, along his in-house variants, are top notch. A Los Angeles institution here to stay, for sure. Can't recommend enough. Thank you Laith, you're the man. read more

Good smokes, cool peeps and friendly staff! Looking forward to my next visit in a few weeks.

To have turned me into a brand new, lifelong customer in the middle of a pandemic is testament to how well this place runs its business. I have been buying crappy cigars from my local liquor store for months before I finally called, admitted I didn't know what the hell I was talking about. They set me up with the starter pack, hermetically sealed package, everything I needed to get started, took my card over the phone, did curbside pick-up, educated me on the find Nicaraguan brands they offer, even followed up after I couldn't come in that day. Jesus Christ, if other businesses could run smoothly as Laith runs his cigar shop, this country would be in a lot better shape. Highly recommended. Easy process. Great selection. And lastly, I want to say this... I quit drinking, I'm separated from my girl, and don't have much in the way of guilty pleasures... Cigars are getting me through this crisis like nothing else. Everyone keeps forgetting the fact that you don't have to inhale these things! read more

Best boutique cigars in the world! Flavor and taste, exquisite! I love that they are not like un-aged domestic brands that leave a spicy ammonium aftertaste. read more

This place is an institution. LAITH has been hosting the world at the CUBAN SEED CIGAR lounge on sunset blvd for 20+ years. Perfectly controlled humidor, and exceptional service by LAITH & team. Great group of guys in there, lots of laughs! "THE BEST CIGARS I'VE EVER HAD"-- J.D. read more

I was disappointed to discover they only sell their own brand of cigars. Since I Ubered across town to get there to find this out, I bought one against my better judgment. (Sunk cost fallacy) While appearing decently constructed, the $25 cigar I got was too green and I had to fight it to keep it lit and to keep it burning evenly. Who cares if the seeds were Cuban, or from Zimbabwe? I wouldn't have been happy if this had been an $8.00 cigar. I'm writing this review so a guy like me, who doesn't mind spending $25. on a good cigar, but who also likes a consistently good cigar for his money, will know to find a place that sells brands known for excellent construction and for not selling green cigars. read more

My friends and i enjoy a cigar once in a while but are clueless as to ever to buy. We walked in Tuesday night and were greeted with a handshake and smile. I didn't get the guys name but could've been owner/manager, really cool guy. Walked us to the back and gave us a quick 101 on the store and their product. He was able to get us a cigar each to our liking. We decided to hang out and lounge so he cut it for us and turned on the stereo for us. We hooked up the Bluetooth and just had a good time. The guy checked in with us to see if we were good. They don't offer drinks but you can go across the street to liquor store, pick up some plastic cups and bring on in. Very cool little spot, plus there pizza next door! read more

House Havana! Okay, last update. So after smoking the Cohiba Twist last week, this week I smoked the "House Havana" and this is one fine cigar. Let me tell you out of all the cigars I've smoked, that House Havana is super amazing. So smooth it was like butter and burns perfect. I think I am mainly leaving this review to remind myself: Don't forget to grab a House Havana when in the neighborhood of Cuban Seed! Looking forward to returning and trying different things from Cuban Seed. Thanks again. read more

Been a patron of this establishment on a weekly basis for a couple of months now. Since the very first visit, Lath and Paul have been very welcoming and easy going while enjoying their fine cigars. Can't recommend this establishment enough, and same goes to the optimal quality of their cigars. Highly recommended! read more

A bunch of friends and I went here for a Bachelor party one Saturday evening. Zeke, the owner/proprietor, made sure to accommodate our large group and give special attention to the bachelor. The cigars were reasonably priced and and the selection was pretty decent. There were a number of custom blends to try, but I stuck with the classic Romeo & Juliet. We basically took over the small lounge and enjoyed our cigars. Parking is tough because it's on Sunset and you can't buy any drinks here, but if you want to grab a cigar and chill with your friends for a while this is a great place to do it. Thanks for everything, Zeke. read more

Paul and Laith each have helped me on two occasions when purchasing for two male family friends who love cigars. Their quality is great and they care about presentation. I can confidently gift people with this cigar brand! read more

Absolutely amazing place. Very knowledgeable, family owned. Paul was incredibly helpful. He helped me pick out a gift. The quality is amazing and I am so lucky I found this place! Will for sure be stopping by again. read more

This place epitomizes what a cigar shop is to me, a nice relaxing time smoking a cigar with cool people. Every time I've been there, I've met some nice cigar smokers. I even saw Leonardo DiCaprio walk in and buy some sticks one time (he's tall, by the way). He made small talk with the staff and some customers. The cigar selection is small to medium sized, but it is very adequate to find a good smoke. They have a large selection of cigars blended and rolled just for them. The staff working there know that cigar smoking is about socialization and relaxation. They're going to treat you right and make you fell welcome. They've got sports games on so you can light up and kick back in one of their leather seats. There's room for about 10 people to sit down. Watch where you park! There's a public parking lot on Sunset on the next block east. read more

The best Cigar Shop in LA and probably the world. This is a family owned business and they know what they are talking about. I had Paul help me and a buddy out and he was extremely helpful.

Sunset Blvd is rich in historical history and landmarks that identify itself from the creative asphalt that it breeds. In the center is a small Cigar shop of quaintness and prestige located across the street from the famous once speak easy now called the Viper Room. Cuban Seed sales its own brands of aged tobacco of cigars that are the equivalent if not better then the huge name brands it's descriptively compared. I personally drive long distance for his favorable cigars that I consider like trying fine wines. There a pureness in the tobacco quality that doesn't leave you feeing ill after smoking. Among the 14 leather chairs you can be easily be sitting next high profile creative types to the common man on the street. No matter what your stature Laith the owner is very knowledgeable and goes out of his was to make you feel welcome. Whether you are a novice smoker or a season veteran every one here is treated with amazing customer service and respect.. Though the shop is small you can still disappear amongst the comfortable brown leather chairs in a crowded shop. The atmosphere is comfortable and the cigars to match. You can easily be talking to someone in the shop that has made huge strides in their professional field. No matter what social status I have ever encountered in the shop. For that hour or so it takes you to smoke. Everyone becomes a tad more humanized and everyone is a VIP. Highly recommend trying his several different brands that fit you pallet. His place is not a hidden secret. I was just late to the game. read more

Had a great experience while I smoked my cigar. Laith, the owner, took great care of me. He came into the humidor with me helped me select my cigar. It was reasonably priced. He has a nice seating area that I was able to watch Game 3 of the World Series. He and his regulars were very friendly. They definitely made me feel welcome instead of an outsider. Definitely will be back next time I am in town. read more

I've seen this place for over a year now so I stopped by here on my way into Century City and I had a little time to kill. I wasn't too amazed at what they had, but what makes this place unique is that they make their own cigars, which is pretty sweet. What I didn't like what all the employees were lookin at me funny and didn't really help me unless I asked them for some help. They have a seemingly small shop and it's very dark which I usually like a little light in the store to show what they have to offer. I will say that it smelled nice and sweet in there. The whole place was like a humidor. They had a good selection f cigars, but I didn't know any of them; and just because they're called "Cuban Seed" doesn't make them any more cuban than the other cigars from Nicaragua, Honduras, or Mexico, because all of those ARE cuban seed as well. Silly isn't it? But key here is homemade cigars. Enjoy. read more

I am a fanatical follower of Cuban Seed Cigar Company. It's no secret that I crave Cuban Seed's cigars almost every time I look at their pictures on Instagram. It's cigar porn to me. Cuban Seed (CS) has some of the best blends and mixes of cigars that I've ever tried. Whenever I'm in that side of town, I always make it a point to stop by CS and drop some serious dough to make sure I have enough for my fix, so I'm well stocked before I have to get more. Their cigars are modeled after actual Cuban blends that are out there. Although they are house blend cigars, and believe me, you would catch me dead before I buy house blends elsewhere, CS has a mastery when it comes to creating their cigars I wouldn't think twice about spending the money I do on them. Their cigars scream quality all the way around, especially with their construction and oils on the cigar. My favorite blends so far have to be the Partagas D-4s, Romeo Stout, H. Upmann Sir Winston, and their Behike. Try a few and you'll instantly be hooked and see the light! In my experience a few of the cigars can be a bit spicy at first at the foot, but once you pass through a few puffs, the flavors should really mix well and create a creamy smooth (but not sweet) smoke. My fellow cigar acolytes and I just purchased a bunch of Monte 520, so I can't wait to try it! Oh, and I got a Bolivar for myself. I just could not resist. Disclaimer: These are named after their counter-part Cuban blends. CS carry cigars that are Cuban seed, but are grown and manufactured outside of Cuban. The flavors will be close, but not quite identical for that reason. read more

This place is fantastic. Great selection of cigars, comfortable seating, tv, etc. Perfect place to unwind with a cigar.
