Nice vendor. Nice place. Nice selection. But my $25 cigar was moldy inside & my $15 cigar just wouldn't smoke despite multiple attempts. I've never experienced this anywhere ever.

Top notch. Good cigar selection. Decent pipe tobacco options. Support this place, there are few like it left. Owner is cool, prices are in line for the area. Will buy something every time I'm in town.

A proper old school cigar lounge.Nothing fancy but just right. My home away from home while in Monterey.

A unique experience in such a comfortable and historical setting. Wyatt and Ellen were such friendly, helpful and delightful hosts. We could have continued our conversations for hours. In addition to the extensive cigar selections, we were impressed by the wide variety of wines. Enter the business with a "Hey Wyatt" and be greeted by a smile. Looking forward to a return visit! Dan, Nathan and friends.

Wonderful experience. Wyatt and his cohort of regulars are some of the most gracious and hospitable individuals I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. Great selection of cigars, multiple good wines to enjoy, and the conversation is simply unparalleled. Completely welcoming to a newcomer/visitor making me feel like I truly belonged. Wish I lived here so this could be my new stomping ground!

First time here, and it was the best first impression I've had from a business. Guy at the front was friendly and offered help and advice. Purchased two cigars for myself and my friend. He offered to cut our cigars for us. We took the offer after coming back from Alvarado Street Brewery and were offered a loaner lighter after I realized I had forgotten my own. Definitely will return when I come back to Monterey and will HIGHLY recommend to others.

Nice setting to enjoy a stogie, a glass of wine or two, watch a ball game, and engage in lively conversations with other customers, the staff and Wyatt the owner.

Do yourself a favor and visit this Family spot. Wyatt and Evelyn, as well as the staff ate friendly and also experienced in cigar and wine enjoyment. They will give you one of the best experiences you will remember for a lifetime and will want you coming back anytime you visit Monterey. Thank you all so much for treating us like royalty!! We will see you soon!!

First, this is one of a nicest and most inviting cigar shops/lounges I have been in.Second, Wyatt was such a nice gentleman and he was so friendly to me and my fiancé. He has a great selection of cigars and wines for any pallet. If you come here you will not be disappointed at all. Thank you again Wyatt!

The owner, Wyatt (I believe that is his name) is super friendly. I really appreciated the patience him & his staff showed. I got my first cigar from his shop pre-covid & have returned to his shop ever since

This place may be called Hellam’s Tobacco & Wine Shop, however, this felt more like a cigar focused lounge. A very nice one at that. As I do not drink, this didn’t bother me at all . It’s a nice place to sit back and have a conversation after a long day. The green walls, dark wood, and jars of tobacco feel as if you’re stepping back in time. The owner, Wyatt, just might introduce himself with a friendly smile and a handshake if you stick around long enough. This place was such a joy to visit and a change of pace from the surrounding area. Located on Alvarado street, if you’re looking for something more rowdy, you’re sure to find it close by, but this ain’t it. I can’t recommend this place enough to fellow cigar enthusiasts and tobacco lovers. I only wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. @unknownreservations
