Stopped by this shop yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Walked in and was greeted by one of the owners. He gave us a tour of the shop & the humidor. They have their own cigars and some of them have been aged since 1990. I bought a few cigars and smoked one in the shop and I couldn't believe how good the cigar was. And it was reasonably priced. read more

I have to say that after burning a few of these cigars, I'm a fan. I came here right after my son was born so that I could pass out cigars to visitors and friends. At first, the selection was a bit intimidating as they have tons of the PG (Paul Garmirian) line but not much else. However, a quick trip down memory lane on what I enjoyed a few months back at J. Gilberts quickly reminded me that I thought the PG cigars were quite good. You do have a price range - you can get some smaller gauges for around $5 and keep going up in quality and depth to $35 on some. I recommend trying a sampler to get your feel for what you like or have the tobacconists recommend a few smokes based on your preferences. In my opinion, it's fairly priced for what you're getting and it only gets pricey when you start thinking of buying boxes. But if you can't afford to enjoy smoking your money, why are you in the shop to begin with? read more

I came in and asked the clerk help picking out a cigar for my father and gave them a price range and said that I recall from growing up that the cigars he always smoked had Spanish names, and I gave the example of "Romeo y Julieta" and "Cohiba" as two brands he liked. The clerk ignored me and showed me Davidoff. When I said I would rather stick to something I had seen him smoke before, the clerk laughed at me, said that was ridiculous and then pointed to a box of cigars and said, "well, these are Armenian, so you wouldn't be willing to buy one even though its a good cigar just because it was made by Armenian people?!?!?!" Apparently customer service in this store means showing the customer something they aren't interested in and then implying that they are a racist because they don't want it... read more

Apparently I've driven by this shop thousands of times, and yet, I had no idea it was there. My husband spotted it one night on the way home and we stopped in for a gift for a friend. When we walked in, I was absolutely sure I was in for 30 minutes of boredom. I could not have been more wrong. This is a father and son run shop and they've been in the industry for decades. They have their own line (try a PG special!) and they are friendly and knowledgable and love to answer even the most basic of questions. My husband left with his own new humidor and a greater appreciation and understand of the art of cigars. read more

Great cigar store. You don't know about cigars, I can already tell. Well, Paul and his son do, and having sampled many of the "top quality" cigars (Padrons being my favorite), I can say with all due respect, their PG brand cigars are extremely delicious. Get the 20 year aged maduro symphony, and I dare you to tell me I'm wrong. read more

Knowledgeable and sincerely helpful staff. Good selection, some exotic and unique cigars, proper humidification. I like the store brand "PG," and drive past other cigar stores to get it. read more

Nice location if you're ever in the area, but caution your expectations on selection. The shop doesn't have a huge selection of cigars brands. The majority of cigars are labeled for the owner, Paul Garmirian. His selection ranges in tabacco and gauges. I'd say frequent this spot if you're a fan of his. read more

McLean Cigars PG Boutique - Tobacco Shops Near Me - McLean, Virginia

PGs are my absolute favorite cigars, bar none. I have smoked cigars from all over the world, including every brand of Cuban that you can name and many sizes of each one. These cigars are the smoothest that exist, and anyone that I give a PG to agrees. I saw one review from someone that did not understand the help the clerk was trying to give her and she was obviously ignorant about cigars. For example, she was asking for brands that are much better in Cuba than the Dominican, Honduran, or Nicaraguan copies. Davidoff, which the clerk recommended is also made in the Dominican Republic. While I do not prefer Davidoff myself, they are considered premium cigars. If you are going to walk into a cigar store completely ignorant, you might want to listen to the advice of those that work there. By the way, even though I am giving this glowing review, I assure you that I do not work at the store. I am just a big fan. If you like cigars, and you have not tried a PG, then you must try one. My other favorites are the high-end Padrons, which they do have there. Happy smoking! read more

If you want a PG cigar then this is certainly your place. If you don't want a PG cigar then you are going to be pretty hard pressed to find something else. If you do find something else in their limited non-PG selection of cigars there is a very good chance you will be paying more for that product than you would at Old Virginia Tobacco Company, John B Hayes, or Georgetown Tobacco for the same product. Now if you do want a PG cigar then you are in great luck to come across the home of them! The staff here is quite knowledgeable about them and will be more than pleased to tell you why you should spend any additional ten dollars on a "vintage" PG cigar over a regular one. Padron? Don Pepin? Why would you want one of those when you can have a cigar "blended" by the world famous Dr. Paul Garmirian, PhD! So you have your PG cigar now? You do? Great! Now please go smoke it on the other side of the street though as odds are I won't want to talk with or even been seen in your vicinity while you're puffing on one. read more

Extremely impressed. The man running the store was extremely knowledgable, and suggested 3 PG cigars based on big name brands I enjoy. I just finished a PG classic, the first of 3 blends purchased, and am almost embarrassed to say it was the best cigar I've ever smoked. If you're looking to up your game and not break the bank, give it a try! read more

Good cigars, knowledgable staff. Large selection of humidors. I bought the impact resistant one. It comes in handy at times.

Where can you go in the DC area and get knowledgable folks about cigars? Let me answer thy for you: Emile at McLean Cigars PG Boutique is the best cigar connoisseur I know, he is a walking cigar encyclopedia. Better yet, he won't throw a sales pitch in you face just to make a sale. There was a time where he made me buy one cigar when I was ready to buy a whole box. He was concerned if it will meet my taste requirements as I like medium cigars and that box might have more oomf. Kudos Emile! read more

Always excellent service. I walk in and say my husband likes Romeo y Julieta, not Churchillian (shorter) and they alway provide me with a great gift box that my husband raves about. read more

Very nice shop, I had the good luck while visiting family to stumble on this little gem. I did not meet the Garmirians, but did talk with the gentleman running the shop as well as a friendly customer while in the humidor. Both were very helpful, and gave me tips on what cigars would be in line (and a step up from) my typical Macanudos. The shop is mostly PG and Davidoff labels, but as the other customer pointed out, the shop is known as much for what they don't carry as for what they do. The PG cigars are an excellent smoke, and I'll be sure to make a point to visit whenever I am in the area. read more
