Excellent selection of Cigars. Good recommendations and Service. Good Value for the most part. Smoking Lounge. *I haven't used the lounge yet but m, I did get a tour of it. It looks great but, I prefer to smoke at home on the patio. Maybe when it gets cold outside I use the cigar lounge. I mostly use Virgin Cigar when I'm running low on cigars and I didn't place an order in time from the online Cigar shops that I use. Virgin Cigar is a little pricey, compared to my two online retailers but, I get to buy and use the same day when I purchase from Virgin Cigar. They carry my two favorite brands Drew Estate and Cavalier. The guys are great, sometimes it takes a while for them to warm up to you but, the service is always great. Definitely worth a visit! They are Clean and organized. read more

While visiting from Florida, I stopped by Virgin Cigar. The business model here is different. It feels like they want to be a private lounge, but also be public. Living in Florida I've seen all types of cigar lounges. The culture in Florida is just different here. When you purchase a cigar at virgin they will ask you if you would like to smoke it there or will it be to go? To sit down and smoke the cigar you just purchased will cost you an additional $20 for use of their lounge. You have the option of going outside and smoking at the picnic table by the parking lot for free. I chose to sit outside and smoke. I have nothing good or bad to say about this lounge. That's the model they chose and maybe it works for them. It's not my scene, but that's OK. read more

Definitely my go to spot for cigars. The service is always courteous and helpful, with the plethora of choices to choose from. Some nice recent upgrades have opened the humidor up even more and the addition of QR codes on the cigar boxes is the perfect touch to learn more about the cigar of your choosing. It's nice to make a choice now that doesn't stop at the pretty label...lol. Get here or play yourself, your choice..... read more

Virgin Cigars - Today's haul - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

So when you look up this shop no where does it state it's a private cigar lounge . I drove 30 minutes to get here I am staying in the area for the week for business. I asked where do you smoke , the person at the counter states it's private if your from out of town it cost you $20.00 dollars just to smoke here . So before you come here make sure your willing to pay a extra 20 on top of what ever cigars you plan on buying. Or you can do like me and walk away and not give this place any business. read more

Stopped in for something specific and they were out. Staff recommended an alternative that was spot on to what I was looking for and they price was reasonable- solid experience. read more

seriously lack of cigars, with only 2 Padrons 1964 left in the box. The humidor felt like it was 100 degrees; they made me use hand sanitizer and the cigars were not individually wrapped so anyone could touch them. the worst part was that I was followed around the humidor even when I said I wanted to look around for a few minutes before making up my mind on a purchase. read more

Best selection of sticks in the area. Employees have always been super knowledgable and helpful in my experience. Owners were also nice and genuine. read more

Guy was rude. Just because you may own a cigar lounge does not make you an expert. His so called lounge is in a strip mall. It's members only, you should probably inform people that. Wanted $20 for a day pass. I'm not paying to smoke in a lounge in a strip mall. It wasn't even that nice inside. Then when I agreed to pay the $20, told me I had to wear a collared shirt, yet he did not have one on. Again, this is NOT an upscale place, yet he in his mind thinks it is. I've read many comments on Google, all seen to be the SAME RUDE. not worth your time if you are not a member. read more

Avan is awesome! Very knowledgeable and listened to our requests. Found exactly what we needed for a wedding party. Also had some great suggestions. I'll definitely be back. read more

I see a lot of reviews of folks who had negative experiences here. Mileage may vary I guess but I have never had any trouble. I am not a member, I'm young, and I'm black and have never experienced any of the things mentioned here with folks saying they were treated poorly for being in a similar demographic. Customer service has always been great and if I have felt they were "hovering" I just say "thanks for the help I'll grab you if I need anything" and they leave me alone until I'm done. Great selection, comparable prices, and generally nice guys from my experience. read more

They have the best selection of cigars in the area but trust me, nobody is shoplifting cigars so there's no need to follow patrons around; be available when I need you but don't hover. A lot of us have memberships in different lounges all over the country, so it's no big deal about not openly offering day passes or membership requirements. Wtf@chill out. read more

Members only. I wasn't even offered or asked if I wanted to join. Just told that the lounge was private but that the lounge was public.

Unless your white , wealthy and willing to overpay for sticks, then this is not the place for you. Customers who are not members are subsidizing well-to-do club members who are paying ridiculous monthly fees with little or no true value. read more

This is a "members only" lounge. The rates are absolutely ridiculous. I am glad that I called first.

And then to top it off they followed me around like I was going to steal something! As I read more reviews I realized that I wasn't just trying to be picky about wanting good customer service but these people are rude and ridiculous. They will never get another cent from me. To many other lounges out there that do a great job at making their customers feel right at home. The good old boys private lounge!! read more

I came here on every business trip to Raleigh to have a few cigars with others like me. No longer, looks like a jail entrance on way in, they enforce not only masks but watch you sanitize before allowing you to buy cigars. Thank goodness I asked about lounge rules on masks, the hall monitor up front said members only, no attempt to offer daily rate, said I could only buy cigars. I have cigars, wanted to buy a few to smoke there, no thanks, won't be back after years of going there. read more

I used to frequent this establishment, enjoyed the atmosphere, bought boxes or individual sticks every visit. I even called in orders and paid over the phone and picked up. Since they implemented their new membership fees for lounge access, I have not purchased a single stick from them and refuse to purchase in the future. Why would I patronize a shop that tries to exclude people? It's contrary to cigar culture - antithetical! If they want to exclude most and cater to a few, I say let those few sustain their business; my dollars are going elsewhere. read more

A great cigar shop on Glenwood near the airport. Big humidor, knowledgeable staff, comfortable seating, and the front house is smoke free, so people who don't smoke can buy cigars and not worry about getting smokey. Highly recommend the place! read more

I will never spend my money here again. Employees bust into the humidor room, 1 stood blocking the door an the other stood so close to me i could kiss him. After he saw i had the cigars in my hand, he nodded the the other guy as to say its good. LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!! read more

This is a great lounge. Found myself here after a long day (behind my keyboard) and what a nice surprise. The staff is friendly, atmosphere is laid back and the conversation is enjoyable. This is not one of those stuffy cigar lounges where the clientele brags about the soft notes of basil, hints of cocoa leaf and seaweed, it's more like real men (no women present when I visited) conversing about real life. The Humidor has a broad variety of cigars from the mass produced to the boutique brands. The prices are spot on and again the selection is awesome. As I'm writing this review I'm enjoying a MyFathers Maduro, listening to smooth jazz and watching a Golf. If you've been looking for a nice clean, not overly Smokey place to mellow out, do yourself a favor and stop in at Virgin Cigars. read more

This place have a great selection of fine cigars ,very attentive and knowledgeable staff.  Most importantly! an upscale atmosphere inside or out on the patio. Love the membership options $150 a month or 12months upfront with a $50 a month bonus omg and 15% off a box of cigars for members. The patrons are friendly this is my spot to enjoy a good cigar and interesting conversation. Don't take my words for it, come see for yourself.   Best cigar lounge in Raleigh NC 5mins from the RDU airport. read more

Called to see if they had a box of Omar Ortez Original Robustos and just because he wasn't familiar with the maker he got an attitude instead of trying to look for them or offer to order them.. I usually spend $200 a box online but was hoping to find a place to get them closer to the house so no more waiting for them in the mail. Sorry I didn't ask about a box of Davidoffs. read more

Very knowledgeable staff and well stocked selection with reasonable prices. Has a large indoor smoking area and an outdoor porch with shady spots for days with good weather. Been there many times and always felt like I was among friends with the staff and other smokers. Many TV's for sports watching, or quiet times during the day - bring a book/computer and you'll enjoy it even more! read more

A real cigar shop for real cigar smokers. No vape crap, no half a headshop on one side, this is the real deal. You walk into the cigar room and its floor to ceiling! Great brands, with great pricing, and Oscar and some of the patrons I've met have all been great. read more

Great spot for cigar lovers. Fantastic offering off Padron, My father, Oliva.. for all types.. hung out in lounge with friendly patrons. Support this local shop! Great job Oscar!! read more

In essence this place now is for the GOB network. For $200 a month to be offered nothing with that membership other than a receipt is ridiculous. $200 a month to smoke is a drug habit. They have now changed to make a few stupid few pay for what many could have enjoyed. Why not ask 10 good ppl to pay $20, than 1 MAGA HAT pay $200? You notice there are no ppl, members, patrons in the pictures. Why by cigars at a lounge you are not welcomed in? You're paying extra for cigars that helps pay for leather chairs n copper ceilings you will not see w/o paying $200. On top of all this, it closes at 8pm, doesn't offer any beverages and discounts. Oh 15% off once you buy like 5 overpriced cigars. Only Mr Oscar is allowed not to be the Demog they are allowing in. It would help if they allowed day passes for out of towners and locals who are not avid smokers. Just go to Havana's downtown Glenwood for the same and better experience. I dont want to feel Im paying for someone's SL 500, retirement Fl home, 5k sq ft house. Save yourself the time and go to Ansteads in Fayetteville. It blows this place outta the water, and for not $200 A Month!! read more

The owner here, Oscar, is A-100. They have a premier selection of Cigars and all accessories needed along with his wisdom on his products and care. read more
