Review from Russel M.

We walked all over Vancouver and visited several Cigar Shops. Out of all of them I was most impressed with CIgar Connoisseurs based on the fact they are one of a few AUTHORIZED HABANOS (Cuban CIgar) shops in the Vancouver area. I liked their display and quality. Prices are in line for the "real thing". This is it!

Nothin wrong with this place at all. Quaint, staffed by friendly knowledgeable reasonably sophisticated urbanites. Decent selection. They know what they're doing, too - the cigars are stored in a proper walk-in humidor. I've purchased Monty A's from here before and they were excellent, which is the mark of proper storage, since you know those have been on the shelf for a long time. Today I walked out with a couple Davidoff Special R's - sublime, as they should be.
This is one of the top tobacco shops in the city, no doubt. Not the same selection as City Cigar, but you don't have to drive to get here. Best in Gastown, that's for sure. -

Of all the tobacconists in the city, this is the only place I've actually bought a fancy cigar from. I don't know why. It doesn't necessarily stand out but I suppose in a city that's pretty smoke-free (at least tobacco smoke) it's kind of rare to see a woody, old time cigar place like this.
Don't get me wrong, Cigars are pretty gross and I can't smoke more than a few puffs without getting dizzy, but this place knows its game enough that I trust it. Something about the element of older men, foreign older men at that, gives it oodles of legitimacy.
Basically, if you're looking for a cigar, this is probably the best place I can think of in the city. There may be some secret north van enclave that's better, but for a nice little place with knowledgeable staff, this can't be beat. -

I always used to see two older gentleman sit in this cigar place by the window and smoke cigars. They met everyday at the same time and would spend hours there. It was very intriguing, so I decided to go in and buy a cigar for my dad. I spent $40 on a Cuban very good brand of cigar and got a box and a humador with it, as they sell them there. They have Habanos, Cohibas, Paragos, and other brands. Really cool family run place and perfect for that gift idea.
