Great place. Chill vibes and nice selection. Check it out... got a good selection at a reasonable price.

Robusto has a wonderful selection of very good quality and fresh cigars! Sam is the best!

I've been going to Robustos now for approx 5 years plus now and it's still the same good service. Sam is a pleasure to deal with. Lounge has a chill environment and people who go there make for great conversation. A wide selection of cigars to choose from. Even if your new Sam will be more than happy to help out. read more

My favorite cigar shop/lounge in the area. Sam, the main man, is extremely helpful and super knowledgeable. Conversation on cigars with Sam are mind blowing. Like fine wine, cigars are very special. I'm pretty much a cigar novice but visiting here has really expanded my mind and knowledge about cigars. The vibe and customers that hang and smoke are super cool If you like cigars and want a cool relaxing environment to smoke a work of art, this is it. read more

A SCARY TOOL Grandpa was a stoic man who never talked about his feelings. Still, I could tell he was sad if he lit a cigarette and poured a whiskey; happy if a cigar and a cognac. Last night, my boys sent a cryptic message: "Underground party. Bring a cigar. Cash is king. We're all gonna get in trouble. Hehe." I said nothing to my sweetie. I'm new to the world of cigar smoking and came to Robusto. There was a slender dark-haired gentleman lounging in a leather chair. I'm sure I looked like a clueless fuck because he cooly got up, approached me, and started giving me advice. Sam said he was the owner, walked me to the humidor, and helped me pick out a top-end stick. My comments that it felt good upon squeezing and that the label was pretty reaffirmed to him that I was a cf when it came to cigars. As he swiped my card, Sam asked if I knew the proper way to cut a stick before lighting. I didn't want to admit I use my teeth, so I mentally ransacked my home and all I could think of was my sweetie's professional-grade toenail clippers. The horror on Sam's face melted into pity as he pulled out a new cigar cutter and threw it in the bag. Next, he walked back to the humidor room and grabbed a house cigar. Both were complimentary...so I could properly cut, discern, and enjoy. When I got home, I played with my cutter. It's a pretty cool gadget that works like a sharp guillotine to chop off the tip. All set for the boys night out!!! Hehe. For now, I better hide the cutter cause my sweetie turns from a cute purring kitten to a possessed shrieking banshee when angry. read more

We came here to get cigars for our bachelor party and the sweetest man helped us. He gave us great recommendations based on our limited knowledge of cigars and based on our budget. He also spent a lot of time giving us advice on best ways to smoke it and to store it before the party. 12/10 would recommend this place! read more

Robusto is a very nice cigar lounge. Robustos the best cigar spot in this are including pasadena. Lots of regulars. Im slowly becoming one on saturdays. The prices are on the lower end for lounges. Remember kids, cigar lounges are more expensive than non-cigar places. Selection is also above average. They do have the run of the mill brands but with two notable boutique and some borderline boutique/popular ones. My favorite boutique is now: y Black Label Trading Company. They produce small batches and that preserves quality. The Last Rites is my favorite new cigar that wont kill your pocket. Ballmoral. This is not boutique. Very nice stick. Also borderline boutique are room 101s and ventura. See ya around. If you like cigars follow this piece of shit on IG: cigarcpa read more

Very cool spot, nice unique selection of cigars in a large humidor. Soft drinks and coffee available for sale. Nice comfy chairs and TV, also a nice large table for cards or laptops. What I like most about this place other than the Owner Sam who was very nice and welcoming is the old school charm. Looks and feels like a "REAL" cigar lounge, very spacious and comfy. I will definitely be returning. read more

My first time here, was invited by a couple of friends. The place is very laid back and quiet. The owner Sam was very helpful and informative. The patrons who came into this shop all know each other, there was a strong sense of community here. Everyone was friendly and we all had some great conversations and laughs. The cigar selection was great, smoked a Casa Cuba Flor Fina Robusto and Arturo Fuente Short Story Perfecto. The other brands I saw available were Oliva, La Flor Dominicana, RoMa Craft, My Father, Rocky Patel, Romeo y Julieta, Ashton, Montecristo and much more. They also had a great selection of lighters, cutters and ash trays. I was able to watch a soccer game too, everyone there seemed to love soccer as well. I will definitely be coming back, by far my favorite little cigar lounge. read more

This is a wonderful place to enjoy the cigar experience. Sam the shop owner is very friendly and approachable, his selection of cigars is excellent from the main producers to the boutique lines. The only comment I would suggest is that he post the strength of his cigars next to the price, this would be helpful for those unfamiliar with the limited boutique brands. Most of his cigars are toros with the larger ring gauges. He sells soft drinks and cigar accessories. No alcohol beverages. The lounge area is comfortable with good ventilation. Some of the leather seats show signs of character wear but it is not an issue, they are soft and relaxing. Sam keeps the lounge tidy and clean. The decor is by intention Cuban rustic, nothing fancy but I personally appreciate this because it gives off an unpretentious vibe. The clients are friendly, I had the chance of meeting three fellow cigar lovers of diverse backgrounds. I still remember their names and hope to see them again the next time I stop by. Cigar prices are average, expect to pay $12 to $18 for a well known label, they also have other sticks that sell below and above that range but I can't comment on those. There's an unwritten rule there, talk about anything but religion and politics. read more

One of my two favorite lounges to smoke. Sam is very hospitable and will help you if you need any info on any perfecto in his establishment. Patrons who hang there are ALWAYS very friendly. It's like the show "Cheers" where everybody knows your name. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Robusto. Stop in, sit down, have a smoke. read more

Walked into the store tonight to find a group watching the Kings game on TV (great first impression for this Kings fan ). Sam was seated with the group but was quick to offer his assistance. The selection of cigars in the walk in humidor looked good and the prices were reasonable. I selected one "award-winning" Nicaraguan cigar and a 2nd cigar advertised as "exclusive" to Robusto Cigars. I smoked the "exclusive" one when I got home and REALLY enjoyed it. Will definitely go back...maybe check out a little hockey and enjoy a smoke. read more

Robusto Cigars is hands down the best cigar lounge around. The greatest selection combined with Sam's knowledge about cigars makes for a great experience finding what suits you best.

With plenty of comfortable seating and free Wifi, you are sure to have a memorable experience here. As an added bonus, Robusto has a wide selection of brands, and some of the lowest cigar prices around! If you're in the area and looking for a great cigar lounge, head over to Robusto! read more

As a newer cigar smoker cigar lounges can be really intimidating, I've been to a shop in pasadena who I won't name (they're near old town) and the vibe was very clickish and not welcoming. So I found myself looking for reviews on yelp, to my surprise this place had a great following. So it's Monday night and I find myself walking into Robusto Cigars, immediately as I walk in I'm greeted by Sam the owner. He suggested some sticks and after purchasing them (his prices are fantastic) we sat down to smoke. Everyone that was in the shop smoking was very friendly and talkative no snobs here! The tv was playing hockey and then sports, the place had great ventilation and really nice community lighters (my expensive xikar lighter decided to not work) overall I found my new spot and I will be back later this week for a great smoke and even better conversation. read more

Robusto Cigars is just what we needed here in the SGV. The owner "Sam" is continually making improvements at the store. He has been open about 3-4 months and has been making improvements ever since he started. He certainly has determination to succeed and I praise him for that. I have seen this store grow from an empty building to a comfortable and friendly lounge. The choices of cigars on hand grow as he fills his shelves. He has quite a selection for most all tastes. I took advantage of his "locker rental special" and enjoy fine cigars on a regular basis. He has a drink chiller and offers up most favorites as bottled Starbucks frappuccinos, Coke, 7-UP, Rock-star,Bottled water, Diet Coke, Sometimes he even has juices on hand. Fresh coffee daily, as well as either Hot or Ice cold drinking water is always available too. Although I am not a huge sports fan, he often mutes his big screen TV and has some great Jazz music playing in the background. He has nice leather chairs with seating for 12-14 comfortably and room to add more. Congratulations Sam, on such a nice store to relax, socialize and make new friends. read more

Always great service! Sam is very nice and helpful!! Any question regarding any type of cigar he will guide you! House cigars are very good too!!! read more

Great service and atmosphere. One of the few places in los angeles where I am able to get mbombay cigars. Always a pleasure!!

Was having a family reunion right down the street and needed some cigars (plus a good torch lighter) asap. Found these guys on yelp and took a quick walk to their convenient location. I was quickly greeted by the awesome staff and friendly patrons. The guy who helped me out knew his stuff and was very helpful to point me in the direction of some tasty and smooth pair of cigars. Excellent service, great ambiance, and good prices. I will definitely be back. read more

Great place to hang out and chill. Sam is a great owner and really cares about his customers. On another note, there is a guy that gave this place a one star name Phaze D. He says the owner used an expletive when their intention was to sit and have a smoke. I was present when this incident happened. His review is completely FALSE. He came in wanting to sell the owner illegal cigars. The cigars he mentioned were not the cigars he was selling. The owner did not, in any way shape or form, use any bad language and was not discriminatory toward his friend in wheelchair. He minus would have been selling drugs. Don't listen to that review. In conclusion, come down and have a smoke here. GREAT PLACE with GREAT SELECTIONS. read more

A very choice selection of stogie's, if I say so myself. Several large comfy chairs and a nice flat screen with that HD for your viewing pleasure. This place had a very cozy, study type feel, definitely a gentleman's den. 2 coolers that are stocked with whatever poison you desire. Humidor was... Wow. I had never been to such a well stocked, well kept room since I had visited Vegas. The owner came in to assist us with any questions and even made some helpful suggestions as well. I took my cousin and he was like a kid in a Disney store. They stay open late, which was a big plus for us as well! Definitely reccomend this place to afficiando's read more

First time here and I will be back. Sam was a great help and was quick to help me pick out some cigars. I told himI was new at smoking cigars and he was very patient and assisted me with my selection. He has a great selection of cigars. Thanks Sam. read more

Friendly locals. Good selection. Comfortable chairs. All you can want for a solid cigar spot.

I know NOTHING about cigars but Sam was super nice and helpful. I was picking out a gift and he hooked me up, didn't try to take advantage of my newbie status by selling me something expensive. The Yelp deal for a free house cigar was great although I think he would have given me a free one without the deal :-) Now I've got a nice stocking stuffer for the boyfriend! Great shop! read more

Robusto Cigars is exactly what was missing for the people living on the east side of Pasadena, and Arcadia. Robusto Cigars is a nice place to light up your favorite stick and enjoy the game with good company. Sam, the owner, offers a huge variety of brands and sizes. From $4 cigars to $35 cigars. Whatever your taste may be, you can be sure to find it there. Enjoy! read more

The walk-in humidor is filled with a beautiful selection of hand rolled cigars. The prices are very fair and if you ever want to know anything about any cigar, Sam is the guru. read more

A friend recommended this place a few months ago. On my first visit I was welcomed by the owner Sam and all the patrons hanging out in the smoking area. I have been a regular ever since. Unlike other SGV cigar shops, Robusto Cigars is unpretentious, and laid back. I visit at least 3 times a week and always find good cigars, good company, and an enjoyable experience. This is my first yelp review and Robusto Cigars deserves a great one. read more

This place has sooooooooo MUCH potential! The owner Sam is a great guy. However the decor needs some help...ASAP! Lighting is an issue also, the florescent lighting is a negative(-). Pricing is a Major problem too! I hope they re-evaluate some issues. I may return at a later time, ambiance is everything when relaxing with a cigar. read more

I was given Robusto's contact info from a cigar manufacturer. Sam answered the phone quickly, took my order and shipped it out immediately, we got it the next day. Great service! read more

Went in for the first time on Friday 2/28/14. I noticed that Sam was the owner, who happens to be my ex-soccer teammate, if you will. He is a friendly guy, no doubt. The place is comfortable, walk-in humidor, good selection of cigars and great prices. I think I just found a new hang out! read more

Sam, is a wonderful person with lots of knowledge in cigars. He has educated me with different types of tobacco. He is good to sit down and have a casual conversation with. He is very hospital. I would recommend this cigar shop to anyone! Go check it out. His location is awesome . I always go pick up a cigar before I go golfing, or hit the race track. read more
