‼GREAT SELECTION OF VAPES‼…read more BUT PROFILING IS NOT NICE! REVERSE LAYUP! BACKWARD VETTING PROCESSES! This was the second time they treated me like the Police and asked me if I was a lawyer for the second time while actually having to be in Pasadena for court. I respect the Vetting process for the vapes. But, being reverse profiled?! My second time visiting this place both times asked if I was a lawyer as well as a marine the first time. Then said they only take cash then when I said I only had a credit card they asked if I mind the Tax?? Common sense! And as I pull out my phone to Apple pay with an Amex that happened to be in Ma' Dukes name... Blah blah blah hoping that getting the owner on the phone I'd get some compassion. Nope! Apparently I'm tapped and get rejected, "Sorry!"... because i get carded for ID. FOR APPLE PAY!!! In 5 minutes by transfer some money around and got the Vape that I wanted thank you!!! But don't forget, the support and business from people like me keeps your lights on! SMH.

Thought I'd put in my review so there'd be something positive sooner than 5 years old, as one…read morereviewer put it. I don't get why they've gotten a bad rap as the recent reviews over seen. After having gone here for the past couple years and seeing the review mentioning them not being positively responsive about whether or not they were open during the Covid 19 pandemic; I figured I'd give it a try to reach out and see if they were open for business. The owner answered and explained that they were, technically, closed because of the quarantine guidelines. However, he asked if I would be willing to meet him the next morning in his parking lot. I gave him my list of things we needed and he was there, texting me to let me know, earlier than arranged. Terrific! I'll be right over! Since then, presumably because we had such a pleasant exchange, I'm disabled and have been a regular; he occasionally would check in to see if I needed more cigarettes for my fiance or anything else. Something that was nice since during my first call with him I'd explained it was more cost effective for my pocketbook to be able to buy by the cartons, as opposed to single packs as the gas stations refused to sell by the carton making my fiance's habit more costly than usual. I can tell you from experience that he has reopened even though his doors are locked. Because if current Covid conditions, he is answering to knocked on his security door from the parking lot entrance. Tell him what you need and he'll get your items and provide you with your total. Heck, call ahead and speak with him nicely; he'll most likely have your order ready by the time you've told him you intend to be there and it's a nice, quick and easy process.

Possible the best Cigar place in San Gabriel Valley. We popped in after dinner one night for our friend Troy's birthday. All being cigar enthusiasts. They have a nice humidor and great customer service. My only real issue is they're much pricery than any other cigar shops or cigar bars I've been too all over Greater Los Angeles. I'm all for supporting a small biz but it does make me want to limit what I purchase here. I did guy with more than a couple my first trip in. The selection is solid. I agree that the atmosphere is generally a good one as I've walked by many times over the years and seen it change a lot. They do have a private room for members and a spacious lounge area in the main area of the store. It's in a cool location, directly across from the Bucca di Beppo of Pasadena in Old Town/Old Pasadena, at the corner of De Lacey Avenue/Green Street. Parking on the street or nearby garages and lots, all paid, but a short stroll from Memorial Park Station. They do host some events here and have soft drinks for purchase as well as bottles of water. Open daily from Noon/12PM to - 11PM.

Lighters, ashtrays, cozy chairs, all cigar accessories and cutters available. It's a cigar bar meets a sports lounge and the vibes are chill. We popped in to catch the Argentina vs. Switzerland match and ordered food nearby. Him at Gus's nextdoor and me via a DoorDash drop off from Maciel's off York Blvd, less than 3 miles away. I had one of the best big gauge Lunatic brand cigars and noted a lot of others I'd come back to try or stock up on here. Service was friendly and all the guys enjoying their evening cigars were as well. Everyone really got into the games, Dodgers on the other big screen being defeated. Easy parking shared with Gus's BBQ nextdoor, which had non-stop foot traffic. Plenty of gents trickled in to the Fair Oaks as well. We had a couple of sodas here, nice and cool from their cold box with water and other ready to grab bevs, but no cocktails as it's more of a spirit shop in that since. Though I would definitely partake next time in a bottle purchase to support this cool small biz. I'd imagine there's a fee possible for opening up in shop, but you never know. Impressive selection of Scotch, Whiskey, Wine and more. Cigar boxes for sell for really great prices, a few get displayed right outside the entrance. Open from 10:30am til 9pm daily, but they definitely won't rush you out right on the dot. Clearly value their customers, new and longstanding.

Disclaimer: I'm a newbie when it comes to cigars…read more I went in to buy a cigar for today's tee time. Marcus was very helpful and patient with assisting me. I ended up with the Oliva which was under $18. There's a walk-in humidor with an endless variety of cigars, which I'll undoubtedly get to try soon. Not only did he take the time to explain several cigars' flavor profiles, he took the time to drop some knowledge on the punch cut along with other useful info. He didn't try to upsell but also introduced me to some equipment I'd be needing in the near future. 5 stars for the incredible service! There were a few gentlemen enjoying their cigars while watching sports on the TV. I'm definitely going back for more!
