The Fair Oaks Cigar lounge is in a shopping center with several boutiques and French oriented…read morebakeries and markets nearby. The lounge has a main area up front and the lockers are to the back on the left. Further back is the clean restroom with a few comical stickers on the toilet. The humidor on the right offers a decent selection and one can find something to suit your tastes. Prices are a tad above average, but the greatest attribute of Fair Oaks is the laid back atmosphere and lack of pretense. This was my first time at this lounge and everyone was sociable and not stand offish. I had just come off a flight across the country the evening before and it was great to relax and enjoy a World Cup match on the flatscreens. 3.5 stars

I came on Friday late afternoon and enjoyed a nice Padron 7000 Maduro while sitting down on a nice…read morecozy leather seat. As I walked in, there was a small crowd mixed with young and older men who were all working on their laptops or phone. It was quiet and the only show on was some golf. The store clerk or manager was a bit of a stickler. He came into the humidor a few times to constantly tell this customer to stop smelling the cigars and even to stop touching them. I understand there should be a cigar store etiquette which definitely should be "No smelling cigars" and it's our responsibility as customers not to do those things but to again get asked NOT to touch the cigars; now that's slightly rude. It kind of gives off the type of vibe in here which is stuck up. It's a bit too quiet in here for my liking; people can literally hear your conversation. I wish there was some jazzy or Cuban salsa music in the background along with more people talking to each other but that's not what this place is. It's a quiet and intimate lounge. Their humidor has some good selections such as Padron, Davidoff, Tatuaje, Don Pepin, and even EP Carrillo. Price is fair I'd say but average price is about $20-$25 starting. I would come back again most definitely especially since it's one of the only cigar lounges around New Port.

This review is for staff member Michael (I hope I got his name correctly from his name tag; he is from France ). My brother is visiting from another country and wanted to buy a few bottles for his wine club. We know Hi-Time has a great selection. He asked a staff member for a specific wine bottle and he said they didn't have it. They spent a few more minutes talking and the staff member left without any convincing recommendations for my brother. My brother kept looking and then Michael showed up. Not only he found the wine he was looking for initially, but he also made some other great recommendations. The whole interaction was polite, friendly, interesting, and enjoyable. My brother walked out of Hi-Time with a smile. Thank you, Michael!

Again I will recap my story from the other Up In Smoke store reviews. Yes the Up In Smoke stores…read moreare family owned and operated by my guys Mike and Murad. I used to chat with Mike at the store he managed on Bristol Ave formerly. Now today I got the story straight from the crew at both locations and my guy Johnny at the location here on Newport Blvd North and Wilson in Costa Mesa. First, make sure that you're headed north on Newport Blvd back in the direction of Santa Ana. Then just past 23rd Street you'll see the stop light at Wilson. The center is immediately on the right, be careful as the parking lot is rather tight. Also there's the 7/11 right next door. My guy Johnny was also super nice and accommodating when I asked him if I could take some pictures. One thing I noticed was that this location also has a good selection of Kratom from various brands. Really nice to add to your coffee or in a protein shake. Also this location has a cool Zippo lighter display with a decent selection of cool lighters. A slightly larger selection of Hookahs than the Newport/Balboa store. Everything else is solid and quite comparable to the Balboa store. Fantastic service whichever locations you might find yourself visiting. What I personally like is that these are family owned and operated, veteran owned, and have provided the community around Costa Mesa, Newport, Irvine, area for over a couple of decades now. You can't go wrong with stopping by any of the stores, they have exactly what you need and the best crews in store there to help you get exactly what you want. I HIGHLY recommend the Up In Smoke stores whichever location is nearest you. Enjoy!!

"Congrats, You Lost a Loyal Customer Over a $1 Water Bottle!"…read more I've been going to this smoke shop for TWO YEARS, dropping enough cash on vapes and juice to probably fund the owner's next vacation. Easily over $2,500 in clouds of fruity smoke. So imagine my shock when one of the owners comes sprinting after me like I'm shoplifting diamonds... over a ONE DOLLAR WATER BOTTLE. Mind you, they've given me water for free before. But suddenly, this $1 bottle must've been liquid gold. The look of pure existential frustration in the owner's eyes was like I'd just asked him for his firstborn child instead of a sip of Dasani. I guess loyalty means nothing when they're counting pennies. So here's the deal: Thousands spent on vapes? Check. Loyal customer for 2 years? Check. Free water bottle? DENIED. I hope that $1 was worth it, because you officially lost a customer who practically pays your electric bill. I'll be taking my vape habit (and my thirst) elsewhere. P.S. Next time, maybe save the Olympic-level sprinting for actual shoplifters... not your regulars who keep you in business.
