It’s a nice place but has one problem. Under no circumstances will they allow you to use the bathroom. I bought two boxes of their cigars and before i left, I asked to use their restroom. No dice.The guy working there said it was his managers policy. So sit at their tables, have a drink and a smoke, but too bad, so sad, no matter how much you spend, you are not good enough for their restroom.
A must visit, and purchase cigars. Good tourist location and stop.
Friendly atmosphere. Walk-in humidor. Full bar. Great place to get away from the crowd
Great cigar store. I took advantage for the sell they had in cigars. You couldn’t beat the prices there. Especially with each cigar hand rolled in house. The staff was cool and even the owner was there and we were able to hangout with her for a bit.Very enjoyable atmosphere and very chill spot to smoke a stick.I will be back and also order online.
Visited the factory many days this vacation. Going again shortly. Always very professional very good service. Great place to sit and have a cigar as well as purchase cigars. No pretense just cigars.
My Heaven on earth!!!Owner and Staff are Angels!!!And Of Course, the Cigars Are The Best!!!
Bought a box of their cigars and love ‘em
I’ve visited the Cigar Factory before as a quick visual, yet I randomly decided to purchase one from here this visit. The gentleman whom assisted me was Phenomenal (if I get his name I will edit and add). He was the definition of an aficionado. Add courteous and engaged to that.The visit was late in the evening and so there were no cigar makers which wasn’t a big deal at all. I did learn that all of the cigars that they sell are their own brand and no others. The humidor was still diverse in its selections. I appreciate the seating areas and chess boards for those into it.Cigar Factory was very clean with reasonable pricing. They sell other products as as well.I purchased the Vieux Carre cigar, which I wasn’t a fan of. It had a strong spicy flavor to it. I’d absolutely try others still.Cigar Factory is worthy of another visit.
A must visit store when in Nola! Great cigars that are hand rolled which you can smoke there ... whaaat? knowledgeable sales people too.
Reasonably priced cigars. Good selection. Friendly staff.
Interesting watching them roll tobacco leaves into cigars.
Great cigars, great prices. Enjoy yourself once in a while.
Best cigars, better price then the rest of the French quarter. Hand rolled right there.
I didnt know what to expect, but if you want to see actual cigar handrollers rolling cigars this is the only place Ive witnessed it as a cigar smoker. It was truly great to finally see it live. The store was so NOLA meets Latin American cigar culture. The shop reeked of cigar history. It reminded me of a bar in the interior of Latin America, where one spends the day drinking and smoking cigars. The humidor is small, due to these guys producing their limited selection of cigars. The staff was slightly pushy while bring helpful, but nothing just focusing on a few sticks wont cure. I quickly noticed that few of their sticks were not under $9; most averaged $13 and more-pretty pricey. I had been reminded by a Houston attorney who has taken to rolling his own cigars as a hobby, this was a must visit. I actually enjoyed watching the 3-4 rollers as they went about their craft. But, as far as the cigars, I can report much since I purchased the Tres Hermanos & Social Club. The Tres Hermanos was too mild for me, but the tobbacco wasnt harsh like so many imported cigars, it was like they were clean tobacco. Not for me, but Im glad I tried a few. They have a 2nd shop of Burboun Street, but that like a foodstand, you only go there if you know what you want and could come in buy it and go-that spot real put on the hard sell, but again, its a business. So, while the more inexpensive smokes werent for me, maybe Ill try the more costly smokes down the road. Also Cigar Factory ships anywhere.
Friendly knowledgeable staff! I was able to watch them roll the cigars in house and an employee gave me a tour of the cigars in the humidor room. After all of this, I was blown away at how reasonable the prices were. I highly recommend this shop!!
The best prices....great customer service
They have a knowledgeable staff to help you with choosing the perfect cigar for you. And all of the cigars in that humidor are all handmade there in store
Great spot with great cigars and staff.
Great and friendly service. Wonderful shop. High recommendation if you smoke cigars.
Great shop, great customer service. If Im ever in NO again, Ill definitely stop by.
Worst customer service. I can spend money here, but cant use the restroom.
The best...they are essentially Cuban cigars. Wonderful, hand rolled, right in front of you by Cuban Americans.
Great cigars to mail order. Even better when you can be there in person.
Great and knowledgeable staff who are eager to help!
Alot of history in this place. Cigars are awesome & I appreciate the guys taking the time to answer questions & be very informative. They were friendly & respectful & I truly enjoy the experience of buying in person for something new or a favorite. I love seeing the guys rolling up fresh cigars & it adds to the excitement of buying. I definitely recommend this place as a must try.
A great experience with good quality cigars!
Great Service and fine cigars
Friendly staff gave us a quick tour and showed us around from the moment we walked in. Great ambiance and a very comfortable place to smoke in! Cigars are great tasting too! This is a must visit for smokers in NOLA. Cant find places like this around! Its awesome to see them rolling cigars right in front of you, and watching the whole process! Im definitely coming back!
Ive bought several 20 cigar case of the social club Maduro torpedoes. I just recieved the last one yesterday. I promptly put in my humidor. I took one out tonight to smoke with a glass of wine and Im totally disgusted with the taste. It taste green. Nothing like what I was used to. It seems that something has drastically changed. Im not happy at all!
Great spot for cigar aficionados or for someone who appreciates a handmade cigar! You can appreciate the cigars being made on site. You can buy a drink, bring it in, then enjoy smoking your cigar. They have tables with chairs and if you look around youll find board games like backgammon!
Both Mikes were friendly and informative. I bought several cigars and none of them disappointed. I will be ordering from them.
Essential place to chill and enjoy life. I always get there ASAP when Im in the quarter. Bring whiskey from somewhere, light up something from the Social Club line, enjoy the great music, and watch the world go by. Heaven.
Went during Mardi Gras 2020 to get a quality Cigar between parades. I was surprised to see cigar engineers rolling cigars by hand there. The staff and especially and the manager, Keith, were very professional, friendly and helpful. Cant wait to go back there to get more awesome cigars soon. Would recommend this Cigar Store to friends, family and anyone. Thank you for a terrific experience.
Great people. Great service. Each cigar was explained and suggestions made to me to find what i like. The environment is even better. The cigars are rolled right there. Amazing place.
It was ok. The cigar was kinda dry.
Wonderful authentic handmade cigars the true real deal highest top quality products! A wide variety of perfectly aged cigars maintain under excellent conditions! Something for everyone with fair pricing a must stop for me each time I visit town!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯
Unique concept, you walk in and see people rolling cigars. You can buy sample packs and gift packs. They only seel their made in house cigars. The first one was hard to light, but once it caught, it had a good burn.
Great place! Fun watching cigars being rolled. Bought daiquiris 2 doors down, and sat for a bit. Great way to spend our first afternoon in NOLA.
Friendly place with cigars made on the spot. I tried the Social Club Lancero. A really good cigar with great aroma.
Fantastic shop. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Sit down have a nice smoke and a drink.
Best cigar place in NolaExcellent service and they are so very knowledgeable and patient with the recommendations James gave us. He was hospitable and just beyond kind :) will definitely back at their other locations in Florida!
Embrace that heavy tobacco smell as you enter the factory, and as you walk past fresh cigars being rolled, you are asked if you are ready for a great cigar, which is why you are there! Pick the one you want, and smoke it in the shop while surrounded by a museum of cigar boxes dating back over 100 years. Enjoy the ambiance and the smoke!
They have plenty of cigars to pick from, from well aged in their walk in display humidor to fresh rolled on the spot.
Great selection of cigars! They have professional rollers in the store giving demonstrations as well. Their explanations were great of each step and the finished product is even better! The one I had was a tasty treat! So good I went back and bought a whole box!
I had a blast there. Very friendly and helpful staff. I enjoyed one of their puritos while I was there and had to get some to bring back home with me. Coming from Minnesota, it was a real treat.
Super chill place. You can go here and smoke cigars while sipping on drinks from nearby bars (you have to go and get the drinks yourself). The tenders were helpful and knowledgeable. I told him Im new to cigars and he took the time to explain everything to me and pick out a cigar that I liked.I will definitely visit again!
I can buy a cigar anywhere, so opted for hand rolled. Got a lot of help and direction in the humidor. Answered any and all questions. Steered me in the right direction, without selling me. Roller was accommodating by posing for a picture. Cigars were fresh, moist and tasty. Definitely worth a stop. Very nice experience.
You will not be disappointed at this place. They offer a great selection of reasonably priced cigars and also have cigar rollers on site. The atmosphere is welcoming and staff knowledgeable. A real treat for any cigar enthusiast!
This place is the cats pajamas. They hooked us up with our own box and had a big table reserved for a bachelor party. Good stuff
Staff took their time to explain to this non cigar smoker how they are made, the different types, a bit of history about the shop. They steered me in the right direction as to what gift box would be appropriate for my needs and I even lit up a mild one to try. A very nice experience for any tourist. Thank you.
Great prices 40% discount when you buy a box of cigars. Service was great. Cigars are good. If your in New Orleans I highly recommend it
Ryan is the man. Extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. He knows about every single cigar in the shop and is a gentleman and a scholar in helping you select the right one. Me and 6 other amigos of mine came in to the shop to celebrate and we were treated like royalty, even 30 minutes before close. This place is a must visit, and tip them well, youll see that they deserve it!
Absolutely outstanding experience. Hand rolled all in house! They even had some cards to play while you chill and smoke. Great place and great customer service.
Nefy was so helpful! Such a great experience and taught us so much! Coming back!
Decent cigar, might need to age it for a couple months. Great tourist spot, watching the staff hand roll the cigars was really neat(work of art). I will return here when i come back to New Orleans.
This place is amazing! They have some of the best cigars I have ever tasted and low prices. This is a great spot to go and hangout with some friends, the staff will help make sure you make the perfect choice.
If you like cigars, you should definitely go see this place. They hand roll all their cigars, and you can watch the rollers do it. They use broadleaf tobacco from Nicaragua. Someone is happy to show you the stock in the humidor if you would like. They also ship and they are pretty reasonably priced.
Great spot w excellent hand rolled cigars! Thanks for supporting law enforcement!!!!
Great smoke shop. Great cigars and love to watch those guys roll them. Stop buy and try them out. I suggest the Lonsdale Cigar and a cold beer. Ordering from them is easy as well.
What a wonderful experience. Walked in and was astonished to see how there were multiple people just diligently rolling cigar after cigar for the shop to sell. The staff who were stocking shelves, etc were all more than friendly and accommodating to my friends and I. Helping us with whatever questions we may have had, and offering suggestions to those of us who were not 100% quite sure what we were looking for. A must go to spot for anyone who loves a good cigar.
Hand rolled cigars, knowledgeable staff, wide selection and can also smoke what you buy there.
If you love cigars and cigar bars, you might just love this place as well! One gets to see the crafting of the companys namesake stogies in person! Many styles and iterations are available - rolled in-house! Great place!
Super friendly staff...great cigar selection...nice place to sit and enjoy the cigars...not rushed...great place!!
I always get a cigar here when visiting NOLA. Neat place with good cigars.
Great selection and prices
Love this place. Rolled in front of you if you prefer. Hip hip hurray.
What a cool place to visit and try some hand rolled cigars
They sell and age their delicious cigars in the big humidor in the middle of the place. They make them just in front of the humidor; and have tables where you can smoke them and watch them roll them up front. The Latin music completes the atmosphere. If the people watching isnt enough entertainment, grab some cards or a board game from the shelf and have at it. PRO TIP: stop next door on your way in for a drink to go. You wouldnt want to get parched while you enjoy your stogie.
Great place to smoke a local cigar, play some games and watch people in the French Quarter stroll by.
Great little place. It’s awesome to be able to watch cigars being rolled. Great music and atmosphere as well.
Nothing but their own handrolled cigars. They have several different blends that all have amazing taste and flavor. The staff is very helpful and they have cigar rollers who roll sticks in front of their customers-very cool!
Best Cigar Shop Around
Absolutely Awesome
Im not a cigar expert but thought the place was great. Nice selection for a new person and nice smoking area. The cigar makers look really cool and good. Staff was super helpful despite our lame inexperience.
Very friendly and helpful staff that helps you pick out what youre looking for.
Very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Some of the best inhouse cigars in new Orleans. Ill be back
I was in New Orleans a week ago for an anniversary trip, and the Cigar Factory New Orleans was on my list of places I had to go to while in town. My wife and I stayed in a hotel in the french quarter and started walking down Decatur. We popped into Central Grocery to buy some olive salad for my father, and when we walked out I noticed Cigar Factory New Orleans, which surprised me because the Cigar Factory was further down Decatur. Apparently they opened a new location to spread their operation out to reach more people. When we walked in there was one cigar maker at work. We were immediately greeted by a lady who asked if we wanted to sit down and enjoy a cigar. My wife does not smoke, so I told her I was just interesting in buying a few cigars. She escorted me to their walk-in humidor and explained the different types of cigars they had to offer. I chose some of their double wrap cigars (because they resembled one of my favorites, CAO America), as well as one of their Connecticut shade cigars. I then explained to my wife, as we watched the cigar maker at work, how cigars were made. Once we got back home I got a chance to try the cigars. Now, I have been smoking cigars for about two years now. I am by no means an expert on cigars, but I have smoked many different types of cigars and usually keep a wide variety available in my humidor. I would gladly put the cigars I got from Cigar Factory New Orleans right at the same level as most top end cigars I have tried. Once my cigar collection dwindles down a little to where I get more room in my humidor I plan on buying a box of both the double wraps and the Connecticuts. Excellent cigars.
Super fun. Grab a drink next door and hang here and enjoy a hand rolled cigar. Lovely :)
Love to stop in here and sit and smoke, watch the cigars be rolled, and look at the antiques and memorabilia from cigar history. Great local-produced cigars for a wide range of taste.
A must for any cigar lover that visits NOLA. Great staff, selection, prices, and atmosphere. We got caught inside during a downpour and the staff made everyone feel welcome to stay as long as they wanted. Will be a regular stop on return trips.
Came here a few times this trip. Great staff and cool local selection. Great spot to sit and enjoy your cigar.
INCREDIBLE experience!The group of people I was with and myself visited all 3 locations during our stay in New Orleans. The employees were extremely informative, intelligent, and helpful. They were also very welcoming to our crew. We couldnt get enough of the Cigar Factory!
They have cigars and they will sell them to you.
