Very friendly and helpful owner and amazing selection of cigars. Best cigar shop in the city! The entire vibe of the store is perfect and really makes you feel like you're in a true cigar shop! Super clean too.
A great store with a wide selection of cigars, pipe tobacco and accessories. Friendly staff and and overall great atmosphere. Will be my regular spot from now on.
Best cigar shop in the city, in my opinion!
Knowledgeable staff. And very friendly. Many different types of tobacco. Good prices too. I was looking for pipe tobacco. Mister B's. They had it. And a huge selection of pipes. From $5 corn-cobs to $500 Birmingham. An excellent selection. Oh, there are lots of cigars, but I don't have experience with those.
Perfect place for a beginner. Great range of products and prices. Staff were patient, knowledgeable, and happy to help. Highly recommend for cigar neophytes.
1st time experience and the owner was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction for selections. I was looking for a particular country with medium bodied cigars, and he was able to assist me with fine selections. Price is a little higher than what I thought, but at the end I bought cigars and some accessories with not a single regret. 1st time there, but definitely not my last.
If you love cigars this man is the place to be. Fantastic selection. Of course I’d like to see the prices be a little less so I can afford to smoke more but he does have fair prices.
I have been shopping at the Cigar Emporium since 2010 and still consider myself a novice cigar aficionado. However, I do know what I like and I also conduct my own research prior to purchasing any cigar. The owner is very knowledgeable and will give you the necessary assistance to make a choice suitable for your palate but don't forget he can only offer an opinion because what he might like will differ expensively based upon your own experience and smoke profile. This is also why I conduct my own precursory research into a particular cigar before buying. All this to say that the Cigar Emporium is the only real cigar store in Ottawa with an extensive supply. I just love the ambiance as I walk through the door and would recommend this location to visitors near and far. The only reason I don't include those individuals that live in Ottawa is that if you are a cigar smoker you already know the Cigar Emporium and what it has to offer. It is also true that our taxes make this product 2 x as expensive as our neighbours in the state. However, if you take into account the exchange rate and unless travelling to the states where it's convenient to pick up a box the cost will be just as much in the end. So buy and enjoy the occasional cigars from the Emporium and don't worry too much about the taxes. Regards, My2cents
Price are fair, huge selection and the place is always kept clean with an addicting tobacco smell. The employee is really helpful when asked questions related to business, but he’s a brick wall when trying to have a casual small talk. They also sell hair products, shoe polishers and some nice lighters.
This place is amazing. Excellent selection, and friendly advice for those new to fine cigars. I especially love that the cigars are all on display in a glass humidor so you can browse to your heart's content.
