I am not a smoker, but this place sells used cigar boxes for really cheap. Everyday they put out a huge cart of used boxes that you can use for crafts, storage, gifts, whatever. It is on the main road so they don't have a lot, but you can usually find parking on the street or in one of the nearby public lots. read more

The selection here is terrific. The humidor is HUGE with a great selection from cheaper Don Pepin benchmades to the high end stuff like Montecristos and such. They've got a ton of pipe tobacco as well, and not all of it is from Altadis. They are also the only place in the area that sells General snus in the regular 24-piece cans and not the trial 10 piece packs. I primarily buy snus there since it's incredibly cheap (4 bucks and change with tax) compared to what I'm used to in Boston (8 and change) and all the varieties are always in stock. There's also a smoking lounge area with a tv and a fridge and its not bad at all. The staff seems incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The only reason i'm not giving it five stars is the man I usually see (the older man with the beard usually wearing a militia hat) is kind of rude to me. I'm not the typical clientele and I understand that but sometimes its incredibly awkward shopping in there. I'm in there about once a week and I always see the same guy and he hasn't really warmed up to me yet. I'm fairly knowledgeable about cigars but he kind of talks down to me sometimes which is frustrating. He is incredibly knowledgeable so I can't fault him TOO much. read more

Smokers Haven does a nice selection of pipes and cigars with a huge walk in humidor. The store manager, Abe is very knowledgeable and always helpful. Prices are reasonable and the stock does change enough to keep you coming back. I have attended a few of the cigar events they have had, at other venues and all have been what a cigar event should be. They have a good loyal following with a diverse background. With all that said, the store does need a makeover so to speak. The smoking lounge is nothing to talk about. I am surprised with Metuchen being a nice small town they don't have a nicer lounge with matching furniture. Nothing over the top just a place you would want to sit back and spend an hour or two. As it is, it looks like someone cleaned out a storage unit and had nothing better to do with the furniture. I think if the owners spend a little time to de-clutter and have it arranged so that you would have a larger/nicer smoking lounge. More smokers would find themselves staying, spending more time and $$$ in the store as opposed to just a puff of smoke. I would give it 4 stars but with the store not giving me the warm and fuzzy to want to stay I have to give it a 2.5 Sorry... I need to want to hang around a place... Remember to drink responsibly.

The selection is more than average but the service was terrible. As soon as I entered the shop, the owner did not leave me alone to look around. He asked what my price range was before I said anything. He was extremely rude even after I complimented his shop for having wide variety of cigars. I am not too experienced with cigar but I knew he grabbed me the worst quality ones from lower shelf. When he was cutting my cigars he didnt not even ask how deep I wanted it. He ended up cutting it way to deep and ripped some of the end. Then he toss my cigars after transaction with fuck off attitude. I will never come here again. The owner needs to learn to respect customers. read more

Been here twice now. The selection is quite good and the prices are fair for a local tobacconist. I didn't have much interaction with the clerk, so I won't factor customer service into my rating. My main complaint is with the humidity, or lack there of. The hygrometer in the humidor has read 38% at 75 degrees both times. I bought 4 cigars last week and one split at the foot, and I bought 2 today and the one I smoked split at the cap when I punched it. I've never had a cigar split at the cap when punching it before. I have a fairly new Xikar punch that is very sharp and when cutting it, it just popped. Still smokable until the last two inches, but 2 out of 5 cigars splitting?? Come on... read more

After my first purchase there, I was very displeased. I made a purchase of Dominican Partagas cigars in tubes. They have a policy that if you open the tube, you buy the cigar. Being naive and trusting, I didn't question their policy only to find out that a day later the 3 cigars I bought were dried out and rancid. After paying $7 per cigar just to have them all turn out poorly really left a sour taste in my mouth (Literally and figuratively). I also bought a $5 cigar hole punch which literally broke after my second use. Needless to say, after that first experience there, I am beyond reluctant to ever go back and give this place a second chance. read more

It's a nice store with a good selection and fair prices, but the various times I've been here I have always felt rushed to make a selection. I like to browse and look around before I purchase a smoke that I'm going to spend 10 plus dollars on. The guy always asks me if I need help and I say "No, I'm pretty sure what I want." And I always spend at least $30 here, but every time I return it seems I'm followed around and not allowed in the humidor alone and I feel rushed to make a selection. Maybe they think I'm gonna steal a cigar, I don't know. Anyway, I only go there now if I am in Metuchen for something else and then I'll pop in real quick. read more

Really lovely people who work here, very helpful and engaging. They have special ordered me things in the past, all in all great vape shop !

I am a regular at Smokers Haven. Nice place to hang around and smoke cigars. There staff (Bob & Abe) are great folks. I also enjoy carrying conversation with their regular customers. Only advice I would give them is to keep the lounge more cleaner. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to see a lounge not cleaned over few days read more
