The Cigar Factory Lounge - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Simi Valley, California

make it shorter as a review Exceptional experience, thanks to Faraz. Joined a friend expecting a typical lounge visit, but left with incredible satisfaction. Faraz (likely the owner) treats customers above and beyond any cigar shop I've known. His hospitality made the night uniquely joyful. Highly recommend. read more

The owner Faraz was cool. I am not a cigar smoker and was buying some for a friend and he helped me out with everything.

They actually had the cigars I've been looking to get for over 6 months! No other place had them.

Well organized and great selection. The gentleman working there was very knowledgeable and very helpful, especially if you are new to the cigar world. read more

One of a kind cigar store. I have traveled the world, and this is my favorite cigar store. Keep up the great work! Kirk read more

I can't believe I have never left a review for this lounge. I have been going to this lounge since DAY 1 and I love this family. Their story is heartwarming and they are just an amazing family. The owners are there daily and make sure you have the perfect smoke for your appetite of the day as our pallets change all the time. Firas, one of the sons, is First Class and I look forward to seeing him. They have a huge variety and tons of knowledge to suit your needs. Thank you fellas! read more

I've had the pleasure of being part of this great establishment that's feel more like home than a business. The owner Farais is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The selection of cigars here is simply outstanding. He make sure that I get the cigar Im in the mood for and not just the most expensive stogey he's got. I love that he stops what he's doing to answer any questions you may have. He ALWAYS takes care of his customers! read more

My girlfriend moved to this area a few weeks ago and I decided to walk up the street to check this place out one afternoon. I come here every day on the weekends now and I'm considering renting a locker if there's anything available; I haven't inquired yet. This is place run by people that really are all about cigars. They know their product and they're in it for the experience. It's very inviting and the clientele that come in are super friendly. I'm a pretty quiet person by default. I tend to come in and keep to myself and I feel totally welcome here doing so. They have a great selection, I always try something new while I'm here. They seem to also stock a lot of pricier, rare sticks that I don't see elsewhere. You'll notice this place is vastly different from those hybrid smoke/head shops and this caters to actual cigar afficionados. Even if you've never smoked a stick before but you're curious, you should absolutely stop in and ask the owners for a recommendation. I've been present when they've given suggestions in their humidor and they won't try to gouge you or steer you wrong. read more

This lounge looks elegante, I will definitely be returning. read more

The Cigar Factory Lounge - Tatiana Cigar - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Smoking a cigar can be challenging. Most of the cigar shops don't have a very nice lounge, and the crowd in the tend to get into uncivilized impolite conversations . The only option is left to smoke is in your backyard, which weather becomes a problem. The next option would be is to find a cigar lounge. that is not too small not too crowded and not too noisy. Well, the cigar factory Lounge perfectly fits all of the requirements for me. The place is beautiful very spacious nicely set up with nice lounge chairs, and an excellent selection of premium cigars. The owner is extremely nice. Good decent crowd. Great sound insulation prevents sound echoing. There are three different sections with huge, comfortable couches that even if you're enjoying your cigar in any section, you can hold a conversation with a friend, or enjoy by yourself without any interruption. Frankly, the only place that I can think of are the expensive and exclusive member required cigar clubs in West LA or Beverly Hills with big price tag and drama. At this place, cigar prices are extremely reasonable. You can bring in your coffee or refreshment and they sell cold beverages to accompany your cigar. And it's very clean! It's an absolute delight to go there for me. Great job! read more

Wonderful cigar lounge with an extensive selection of sticks in the humidor. Comfortable chairs, well ventilated, and chill people. Firas knows how to accommodate the cigar enjoyer. Don't sleep on the house sticks! They're fire. read more

Excellent lounge. Recently discovered them after living 5mins away for years, now I'm here 4x a week. The regulars are inviting, everyone knows everyone on a first name basis. Firas knows his client base and remembers what you like to smoke, and recommends new sticks based on that (WOW!) Selection is killer. Regularly has multiple limiteds from Fuente/FFOX, Padron, Drew Estate, etc and has a ton of boutique brands as well. I've even done work bonding events here and the owners will reserve space for us. Truly the best in customer service. read more

I spent quite some time chatting with Michel about cigars and pipes. He's very knowledgeable, and he led me to make some quality purchases. Very pleased. My next goal is to spend some time on their cushy sofas enjoying their products. read more

Seems like a comfortable, clean, (except for the air lol) establishment with a large selection of cigars to chose from. They have large recliners, large TV , and a few gentleman enjoying their cigars. I happen to stumble onto this place in buying the host of a New Year's Eve party his favorite cigar. The guy running the place, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Would recommend if you need a cigar. read more

This place has it all!!! The guy who runs it is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I went into get my husband and my sisters bf two boxes of mixed cigars and he went through all the top choices and knew all the background on them. I've been to a few cigar lunges but none at this level of knowledge. I would 100% recommended this business read more

Great selection and owner was awesome. Lounge and chairs were good. Heading back next time I'm in town.

Huge selection of cigars in stock. helpful staff I recommend this place to anyone looking for cigars read more

Honestly this is the most beautiful and comfortable place to relax with a beautiful cigar. The owner is very welcoming and knowledgeable and super friendly. He has an amazing selection of all kinds of cigars and they are all respectfully priced. Love this place. read more

Love this spot for a cigar in Simi Valley. The owner is hospitable and the cigars are value priced.

Excellent service, great ownership. Whenever I go in, I'm known by name and always get a good recommendation for a new cigar from Firas. Great selection and great events. read more

Always an incredible time at the Lounge. The family is always inviting and the cigars are abundant in quantity and quality. Very fair pricing. We go every week and relax, have a wonderful time and a good smoke. Seen first hand, people that poorly rate the place. Only because these few people want to be able to do unacceptable actions within the lounge. Bad on them for blaming the Lounge . Pleas come. Enjoy good cigars and good people. Cheers read more

I love this place. Awesome selection of cigars. The owners are wonderful people and always take care of you.

Great selection of cigars and accessories. As I am still learning about cigars, they helped me get a better understanding about the cigars.

As a cigar smoker, I always enjoy beautiful lounges, good cigar collections and most importantly customer service. This place had all I wanted and more... I will definitely come back and recommend this place for anyone looking to smoke in and pair it with coffee, soda or sparking water. Kudos to the two brothers, Faris and Michel for creating this great atmosphere in Simi Valley. Sincerely, Ali Amis read more

I absolutely love this place. I've been going regularly for a few years now, but I have started going most days of the week recently. I treat it like an office, except that with this "office" I actually enjoy being there. There are so many good features of the place that it is hard to know where to begin: (1) the owners are incredibly nice, interesting to talk to, and concerned to make sure that their customers are supremely satisfied. (2) The selection is truly exceptional, and the cigars are always perfectly humidified and cared for. (3) It's clean, spacious and really comfortable. (4) The prices are really reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the cigars. (5) The people who are regulars there are all very friendly, but also respectful of my personal space when I want to focus in on getting work done (unlike some other lounges I have been to where the regulars can sometimes impose themselves on someone who is clearly trying to "tune out" and get work done). (6) The owners themselves really love cigars, and it shows. Both Michel and Firas are extremely knowledgeable and give excellent advice whenever I want to try out a new cigar (I've been smoking cigars regularly for around thirty years, and despite all that experience, I frequently learn new things from both men. If either of them recommend a new cigar to me, I immediately jump on it. Firas even remembers what cigars I have already smoked and how well I liked them better than I do! I don't know how he does it, given the sheer volume of people he interacts with each day). The fact that they love cigars so much--beyond seeing them purely as a way to make money--really manifests itself in the overall exceptional atmosphere of the place. The bottom line is that this store deserves the high rating it has earned in the time it has been in business. I have visited many, many cigar lounges over the years, almost as a hobby unto itself. I have only ever found one other place that even came close to rivaling The Cigar Factory Lounge, but it was a very high end place in Los Angeles that charged a huge fee just to be able to use their lounge. Often enough, in my experience, cigar lounge employees can be grumpy and condescending, treating their customers as if they (the cigar lounge employees) were doing the customer a favor by selling them their overpriced cigars. The Cigar Factory Lounge is the absolute opposite of those kind of places. If someone is a cigar aficionado or just a beginner looking to try things out, you really can't do better than this place. I'm actually a bit embarrassed that I haven't posted a review before this, especially considering all the enjoyment I've gotten from it over the years. Anyway, I can't say enough good things about this place. Do yourself a favor and go experience it for yourself, if you haven't done so already. You won't be disappointed. read more

Well if you looking for best prices cigars in the town you should come and visit Mike have helped me to pick up the cigar I like he's very knowledgeable about what his talking Absolutely I'll be back here for all cigars needs Thank you mike for the great customer service read more

The Cigar Factory Lounge - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Simi Valley, California

New cigar smoker here. My buddy got me started, but lives an hour away. Nice to have a local brick and mortar shop with good selection and atmosphere. I was kind of intimidated to go into the humidor at first, but Firas (owner?) is down to earth and helped me out finding some great cigars. Other guests are generally welcoming as well, shop has a good vibe and everyone so far has been welcoming. Prices seem fair, and the cigars are well maintained. Won't go anywhere else. read more

Great place to smoke a cigar and chill out. Huge comfy chairs, good beverages and tons of cigars.

Excellent selection at a good price. Owner is always helpful. Great place to watch a game & enjoy a good cigar.

My friends and I have visited many cigar shops and lounges throughout Los Angeles and Ventura county and this place is by far my favorite. It has the best stocked humidor and fairest prices. I recently bought​ a variety of cigars for a party and got high quality stuff that were not moldy or dry at a great price. I was able to find a good selection of Ghurkas and the Monte Cristo - White Label. I've never seen these at a shop but usually only online. They even have my personal favorite cigar, Sancho Panza. Not a rare or expensive cigar, just not very easily found. The service is great and my friends and I love going here. I'm glad and lucky that this place is right in the middle of Simi Valley. This is definitely my cigar shops of choice. You will not be disappointed coming here. read more

The Cigar Factory Lounge - Light It Up! - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Nice place, try to come here every time I come to Simi. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Humidors is fully stocked with a wide variety of cigars to choose from. The lounge is comfortable and good place to enjoy a cigar. I purchased a L'Atelier Maduro. Nice smoke, around $10 a stick at the lounge. About double the price you could get online if you bought a box of 20. But you are also paying for the service and atmosphere so It is worth every penny. A good cigar lounge are becoming rare so I will support the every chance I get read more

This is a proper cigar shop with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Best shop I've been to anywhere in this area. This is my go-to from now on.

My favorite Lounge in the area. They boast an absolute abundance of quality cigars. Lots of stock. Lots of brands, boutique brands as well. Lots of knowledge from Firas behind the counter who has never let me down with recommendations. This lounge has never disappointed. There's plenty of room to sit and smoke and I find myself driving out of my way to enjoy the experience here over other spots in the area. Whether you're new or an experienced smoker, there's something here for everyone. read more

BEST...CIGAR...SHOP...EVER!!! My man Michelle is a really good guy. He knows his stuff and the lounge is as welcoming as is gets. Great selection and prices. I'm so glad we have a spot like this in Simi. read more

It has been about a month since I first hit the Cigar Factory Lounge. I stand by my first impressions and initial review, 5 stars. I only give it 4 stars now in hopes that the review sticks around for a while. I'm not sure why yelp shows 10 reviews as not recommended (flawed Yelp Algorithm). Guess when a new business opens, it can't have too many good reviews, because they get dropped. Not even one review is worthy?? Read all the reviews and you be the judge. The humidor has filled out nicely with several new selections. The pipe tobacco choices have increased along with the accessories. I expressed an interest in trying a particular cigar and surprise, the next time I stopped by, the owner had ordered it in. I see many regular customers and usually meet somebody new when I visit. More seating is around the corner, which is a good thing, as the crowd is growing. Still the best option for a cigar and escape in the Simi Valley area. read more

Great lounge! Awesome people and relaxing environment. Employees there are always quick to help me find a cigar that I like.

Great selection! The owner was at the store and he was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. I found my cigar shop in Simi.
