Stopped by this cigar shop while visiting Victoria on a cruise. The shop looked like it had been around for a while in the downtown area. All of the cigars are in humidors throughout the place. Each is in a small box with about 10 cigars in each box with a description in the front. A lot of the cigars had a generic store label rather than the original label. Not any fault of Goodfellas but cigars in Canada are really expensive with a lot of taxes. My cigar I bought was about double the price of what I pay in the states. The guys who were in the shop were very friendly and did a nice job of packing my cigars with a couple small Bovida packs. read more

Wonderful place to grab a few Cigars while in port in Canada. The entire staff was helpful and knowledgeable about their line of sticks. Cheers and thank you for assisting our group in choosing cigars on our brief stop in your store. We'll smoke them on the ship and home read more

Goodfellas Cigar Shop - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

To be honest this shop doesn't look like much from the outside and their location doesn't hold a candle or in this case a cigar compared to Old Morris but the moment you walk in you feel welcome. Even though they were busy the day my Wife and I came they greeted us and let us know they were there if we needed anything. Their cabinet humidors were not big like some European and American tobacconists but were well maintained and thoughtfully stocked with Habanos and non-Cubans. Because of the high Canadian prices (due to government taxation not Goodfellas) there was a good selection of well aged cigars including Edicion Limitadas. I ended up purchasing a couple of older (2017 and 2018) EL's and a few of their Nicaraguan house blend cigars - all smoked perfectly. If you are a cigar enthusiast and in Victoria it is well worth walking several blocks from the tourist area and visit Goodfellas! It is a great little tobacconist and a huge plus is there is a Belgian waffle shop in the same complex that makes authentic Brussels and Liege waffles to visit before or after. read more

Goodfellas Cigar Shop - Well maintained and thoughtfully stocked humidor - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Great selection of cigars and while you may not be able to find an obscure pick like Rocky Patel you will definitely find some quality cigars. Plus the staff is really friendly and will gladly offer their suggestions. Not being Canadian, I'm not sure about value but it was perfect for my dad and I as we were in port on a cruise so the value was great to us. read more

Luigi was a very kind guy who took time showing me many pipes and tobaccos. Great selection! I'll be back.

[Out-of-Towner Review] Just along for the ride... We stumbled upon this little shop when we were finding our way to China Town. It's a little hidden, but it's a gem full of all things Cigars and smoking related. This is not my forte, so I didn't do much but listen to the owner speak about his products. He wasn't mean per se, but he was really nonchalant about it all. It was almost as if we were bugging him, even though we were the only customers in there. He seemed really knowledgeable and had a large variety of cigars and other items one might need if this was your thing. They take the USD at par, but also have a CC machine if you don't want to pay on par. Not a huge fan, but seems cool for those that are... read more

New to this cigar thing. So reassuring to have someone guide us through the choices & give us great advice. Left feeling better informed & comfortable with our purchases read more

Based on my three visits to Goodfellas on the harbor, I am proud to award them my Four Star rating. So why not five, you ask? Because the selection is a little restricted. No Padron? No Rocky Patel? Only three boxes of Arturo Fuente? What do you want? It's a small place. But there are few poor cigars here. They might only have a few hundred choices, but most are very good ones (and they can special-order too). I've usually picked various Cubans, and have been impressed with their price and condition. But what really makes a great cigar store? Their employees. Goodfellas are friendly but not pushy, knowledgeable but not condescending. Talking to their staff is like talking to your cigar-smoking Dutch Uncle -- they're even willing to recommend their competitors for products they don't have on hand. I always walk out of Goodfellas a little bit smarter and a little bit happier than I walked in, and that's not even counting the delicious Romeo y Julietas in my pocket.... read more

Just one quick visit for us. Staff was friendly and store had more than just cigars. I picked some mustache wax with my cigars. read more

Goodfellas Cigar Shop - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

The Goodfellas stores are known for their hospitality, product selection and customer service. How do I know? I ask locals and locals talk. That in itself says a lot about this tobacco shop. Staff is knowledgeable, genuinely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the store is pretty much boarded up due to strict tobacco by-laws. Ridiculous, but what can you do? Maybe just what Goodfellas does, be awesome! As I mentioned before, the product selection is pretty good! Goodfellas offers a fair choice in Cuban cigars and has an interesting selection of non-Cuban cigars, I dig that. The accessory showcases contain lighters/torches, ashtrays, cigar cases, air fresheners, humidor care products, a little lean on actual humidors but the ones offered are of high quality. Those of you interested in pipe smoking will find a reasonable collection of pipes, pipe tobacco and related accessories. In short, there's something for everyone's liking, from varying brands to many different price points. Speaking off, Goodfellas' prices are generally lower. Extra points! Especially with the already high taxation, I don't feel like paying more ... you? The store all together is well organized and once you enter, you'll feel at home. Staff will let you browse if you wish so without interfering. If you have an inquiry, they're right there with proper advice. If a question cannot be answered, they'll try and get one! Very personable and helpful. Well done! Interested in hot sauce? Goodfellas also specializes in a variety of hot sauces! A little odd, I have trouble connecting the dots there. But, what the heck, why not. Visiting Victoria? Do it! Let's be honest, everyone has preferences, Goodfellas happens to be my favourite cigar shop in town. Swing by and judge for yourself, you won't be disappointed. read more

Eh - after going into the other tobacco shops around Victoria this one w/name like this was a bit of a let down. The selection wasn't at all like the other shops, they had less variety - BUT the pricing was a buck or two lower! Which for me wasn't too bad! I like to price shop, I'm not just gonna give the first guy with a shiny toy my money! I wasn't born yesterday - free market society is great! I will always come here last after I've shopped around at the other shops in Victoria because they are the bottom line when it comes to price! read more

Great location. God selection of Cigars. Apparently the owner is Italian and named Luigi. Good fellas like the name.

Unhelpful and disdainful service. I can handle the disdain just like rain, but if you're not going to answer my questions and look put out by the existence of my questions (especially if it results in my patronage) then I'll take my business elsewhere. If you're new to smoking pipe or rolling tobacco, don't bother with this place. read more

I recently got into cigars. I went to all the shops in town looking for humidors and ended up buying at the Cuban cigar shop on Fort. Goodfellas just didn't have the selection I was looking for but they do have some nice humidors. They've got all the supplies you'd ever need and the prices are good. What I'm in the fence about is the service. Being new to cigars, I'm looking for eduction from how to maintain my humidor to the flavour notes in a given cigar. They sell their own Nicaraguan cigar for $6.50. It's a good smoke, something a non cigar smoker would enjoy. When I asked about the flavour notes i was told it's a mild-medium with an earthy flavour. I'm sure an aficionado would have had more to say... It was almost like I asked a stupid question. I'll give them a few more shots and change stores if it's more of the same. read more

I was on my honeymoon in Victoria and it has been a dream of my Wife and I to purchase a pipe on our honeymoon and carry the tradition to each future anniversary. Well we were in an unfamiliar place and just wanted to find a place that could be memorable, Victoria has many options for the tobacco aficionado, however what sets Goodfellas a part or at least what made it most enjoyable was how amazing the staff was. We walked into the establishment twice and both times it just felt right, there is another big Tobacco store by this one that makes you feel like you are at a used car dealer, where Good Fellas was laid back, let me browse the selection, and even when I bought nothing was cheery, wished me a good day and even made some good pub recommendations. It was because of this I returned and found a wonderful 2011 Peterson Christmas Edition Fishtail in their care, I purchased that and a few wonderful cuban hand rolls and I look forward to visiting them again in the future! Thank you guys! read more

Not as big a selection as Morris but way better service and their store brand is exceptional! Will definitely come back next time.Their prices are more reasonable as well. Love the neighborhood. read more
