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

The cigar I smoked was phenomenal. The cigar shop also has a spacious lounge. The place has a great selection of cigars for a reasonable price. If you are in Newport Beach looking for a spot to hang out and smoke cigars this place is a good spot.

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.

Walked in to get an item and the gentlemen Andy working could just tell I was not having a great day. He was so welcoming. Literally his only concern was to get me what I needed but more importantly to get a smile out of me before walking out. I walked into this store not caring about anything in my life anymore. Moral of the story. Just being a good good human and being real, can really save sometimes life. Truly. Thank you.

Visiting this Cigar Stand is my yearly highlight of the Orange County Fair…read more Their selection is excellent and the condition of the cigars is superb. But the biggest thing you will notice is how knowledgeable the owner is. Every year I ask for a new recommendation, and every year without fail I get a new favorite. After visiting him this year I have made the resolution to stop buying from the big boys, and make the trip to the Orange County Marketplace to support our local Orange County stores. Finally, they also have a great range of Hookah's, Cigar themed Gifts, Pipes, Tobacco, and the biggest selection of Zippo's I have ever seen. Give Paradise Cigars a try, you won't be disappointed.

I have been coming here for years but only recently found out they have a yelp. I LOVE this place…read more Everyone makes you feel so welcomed and they actually know their stuff. The cigar guys actually smoke cigars and the vape people actually vape so they're knowledgeable about their products and products in general and not just trying to sell you stuff.

I compared my tins when I got home and noticed the smell was off and even the packaging / labels were off. Do your research before or after buying here. Unsure if they even know it but after looking at some of the negative reviews, looks like they are well aware. I guess "new feel" means fake nowadays.
