Tower Pipes & Cigars

I was in the area, pulled over to search for places where I could get a couple of cigars. Found this location.Picked up three cigars on recommendation as they don't carry my normal brand. I'm working on the first one of the three and it's great. Just as described.Not a super large cigar shop but well worth stopping in and doing business with them.

60 years in Sacramento! An incredible place with excellent Cigars, Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. You'll be glad you stopped by.-Anthonyxibarrax

The owner is so nice. All business but warm and accommodating. I buy my tobacco out of his shop loyally

This is a long time establishment. I'm a beginner cigar smoker, they were great in directing me towards some great beginner cigars at a reasonable price. The service is great and friendly made my cigar buying experience a great one. Very helpful for a novice like myself. I'm definitely going back there again.

A down to earth place. Excellent customer service. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Support your local business.

Best cigar shop in town. Been to all of them but this is my home. Good selection, knowledgeable staff and great prices compared to other shops. Don't listen to the review about the cigars being dried up. That is absolutely not true. Been coming here for years and never got a dry cigar. I suspect that person did not take proper care of their cigar and smoked it days later. Also saying cigars "aren't fresh" shows me that person doesn't I know about cigars. Cigars are not supposed to be "fresh." Aged properly at the right temp and humidity is a good thing. Give the place a shot, you won't be disappointed.

I went in with a friend who picked up a box of Hemingway Short Stories. The smell was intoxicating I love the smell of cigars. I was curious because as we were waiting for him to get the box from the back I was looking around the joint. I was intrigued with all the nostalgic containers, counters and this big wooden cigarette lighter. He was kind and explained how his dad kept things the way they were but also updated were he had to. I love visiting places where the owners don't mind explaining to people like me about their shops and sharing their stories. Thank you very much my visit there was a pleasant one. One day I just might take up smoking.

Unprofessional / unfriendly. Would rather chat up his buddy than sell cigars. There were two customers in there and the guy behind the counter was not interested in speaking, much less helping us. He just stared without saying a word. It was a very uncomfortable weird vibe. I wanted no part in doing business with this guy.

I decided to ditch the cheap lighters and invest in something more durable, reliable. I went to see the gentleman at Tower Pipes & Cigars and he was able to help me choose a better lighter for my smoke sessions. He was able to answer all of my questions and even demonstrated how to refill the lighter I chose. We need to support these small shops in our neighborhoods and the knowledge staff that provide excellent customer service.

This has been a favorite and iconic place for cigar smokers for decades now. It has a rustic and unique feel to it.......down to earth, historic, hometown, personal and cozy. You can't miss that amazing aroma of aging cigars when you first set foot in there. Though the size of the store is quaint and small, they made perfect use of the limited space by placing the humidor along the entire side wall, and packing it with a large variety of cigars. They've got the a lot of the well known brands and some more independent or lesser known brands. I used to get Opus X cigars there, but unfortunately they aren't able to receive them anymore. Argh!!!They also sell pipes, humidors, accessories, and tobacco.My purchase was a ACID Kuba Kuba maduro, Arturo Fuente Double CHateau, and an Arturo Fuente cigarillo type (I think this one is machine made, and they used short filler.) i thought the prices were a bit too high. The Kuba Kuba and Fuente were about $12-$14. You can find them online for about half that or so. The fuente cigarillo was $4, but again, i think it was more like a machine made cigarillo then a real cigar. I like to purchase individual cigars at a local shop, just to try them out, and then go online to get a 5 pack of the ones i like best. It's a great way to randomly try out new cigars before investing in a 5 pack. Out of all 3, The ACID Kuba Kuba, was the best and a pleasant surprise. The super strong aroma, and sweet flavor was awesome. Because the aroma of the Kuba Kuba is so strong, you have to keep it separate from the other cigars or else they will absorb the powerful smell and possibly change the flavors of the other cigars in the humidor. Thanks......will be back to try more! Who says we have to be miserable during the corona virus.....stop by Tower Pipes and Cigars, stock up on stogies, and kick back at home while you "Shelter in Place".
