Awesome selection compared to the other hole in the walls that just usually only have a single cabinet for cigars.

What a great cigar shop, an excellent selection of some hard to find cigars. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about different cigars and has a long history with the cigar culture. I found the prices to be as good or lower than online. I'll probably go back a few times a wee. read more

I've been buying my cigars from the "Depot" for as long as I can remember. They are always so friendly and helpful. They truly are the only West Bradenton cigar store that has the finest cigars in the whole town. Beware of the lounge, where a great group of guys just hang out and talk about whatever is going on. You're made to feel like you're one of the family. Try it out and I dare for you to say that my observations are, in some fashion inaccurate. Once you've been there, you'll instantly become a member of the family, too. read more

Terrible experience the employees asked us to leave before the stores closing time and would not let us even make the purchase we came here for. Terrible service read more

Great section of Gars, and actually pretty good prices . So Cruz on by and buy a Gar, and enjoy your day.Very Friendly staff.

Nice selection of cigars and a helpful staff. Prices are fair based on the quality and selection of the product.

This shop is the friendliest place around. They're all quick with a smile, a kind hello with actual eye contact or "how ya doing today?".. and they mean it. They're also a lot of fun. As soon as I walk in, they grab what I need before I even get to the counter. It's rare these days to get that kind of personal attention. It's NoT a typical "head shop" with a bunch of yoots hanging around like other smoke shops in town. They ALL have their pants pulled up. LOL It's always clean & well organized. I love hearing the laughter from the "cigar lounge" in the back. I don't smoke cigars but they sure have a huge selection. I've heard the guys help customers figure out what kind they're looking for. That's a LOT of cigars to know so much about. I highly recommend this cool spot. Sad to read some of the negative reviews. Some of them are hard to fathom. I've always had a great experience there & I always walk out feeling better than when I walked in. Thanks guys! read more

I was on the way to the beach looking for a cigar shop. I found Tobacco Depot. I called at about 6pm on a Sunday, closes at 6pm. Rick said he would wait for me and did! Gave me great suggestions for cigars to try and asked if my torch need refilling. It did. Over all great experience and wonderful customer service. Thank you Rick, I will be back. read more

I just saw this negative review, I don't usually ever review, but I beg to differ: The staff is extremely attentive and well informed, I am now an e-cig user, and find their selection, help and knowledge of the products to be first rate. They have an enormous cigar selection in huge humidors, and I see obviously upscale cigar aficionados loading up there all the time, so I don;t imagine their cigar selection is below par. The shop is pleasantly appointed, customers are waited upon as they enter, if there are customers being attended to and one must wait a minute, they acknowledge you and ask for a minute of your patience. I cannot imagine a better tobacconist in this area, and I did due diligence perusing the stores in Manatee & Sarasota Co before settling on this one. read more

The selection of cigars is amazing. Very reasonable pricing and a good, friendly staff. The store is clean, well laid out and probably the best smoke shop in the area. read more

Guess this isn't the type of place most of their patrons would bother to review. Let me say they've got a nice selection of smokes, at reasonable prices. Nothing bad about that. read more

I also totally disagree with William G. This is one of the best cigar shops I've been in. Great layout, great selection, very friendly staff. For the 6 months I'm here, this is where I go. read more

Tonight, while staying at the hotel around the corner for the night we noticed this place when leaving the Publix liquor store right next door. Stopped in to check it out and met some great people in the lounge. After chatting for maybe 5-10 minutes, the man working the counter came in and said we needed to leave, that this isn't a place to party....ummmmm what?!? I'm a 44 yr old woman in my business professional apparel just wrapping up a long work day. There was no, "sorry but you have to purchase a cigar to use the lounge" or else I would have!!!! There was just a humiliating ejection that left us embarrassingly saying goodbye to the people we had met and scampering out of there to preserve the little bit of dignity we had left after such a tactless and HUMILIATING approach. The lack of customer service or basic human decency offered here ensured I will never even consider returning. With so many options, don't even consider this place read more

Worst tobacco shop I have ever been in. Tried to buy 3 cigars and got harassed by the owner then he told me to leave. I am within my legal rights to buy tobacco. Terrible selection and steep prices. Save yourself the trip and go to ABC. read more

I frequent this shop to buy discounted cigarettes and I find the people working there are very accommodating. . Never had a problem. Keep it up! read more
