Tobacco Shops in Pleasanton, CA

“To all Cigar enthusiasts, if you love hanging with good people & having great conversation this spot is for you. I have been coming here for a couple years great people the owner Joe is great, very easy person to get along with. Definitely recommend this place to have a great smoke, good conversation, good selection. One of the best parts of this place is just enjoying the time in a great environment. To top it off that chick Ari who thought she was a manger, incredibly annoying chick no longer works there. Trust me this place is worth checking out even if you don’t smoke in the lounge it’s a nice spot that has great selection of cigars.”

“So I started coming here a year ago since my kids go to school down the street. I used to stop in to buy Ashton's since this was what I smoked. The Staff asked me if I have ever tried some other brands which I had not heard of. Let me tell you that in the past year, I have tried some great sticks and have since discovered "New" blends and flavors that I would not have ever experienced if it weren't for the great staff members they have. The shop has the largest selection of cigars in the Bay I've seen however I have not been to other stores in SJ or elsewhere that I have heard have large selections. The caveat here is just bc a humidor has a large selection doesn't mean the selection is a QUALITY selection. The owner Joseph is a stand up guy and he is helpful and knowledgeable as is his staff Rick and David. The store has some pretty hard to find sticks..I know some stores may say they have stuff that's hard to fin dbut trust me when I say they have rare stuff. I googled searched some of their "hard to find/rare" items and found that even online retailers did not have what Mission Pipe had in their counters. I probably shouldn't be writing this since people will now come and find my secret stash! *LOL* There is a smoking lounge in the back and there is no fee or charge, however, they do not allow outside cigars to be brought in to be smoked. All cigars purchased in the store or previously purchased in the store can be smoked in the store. Trust me when I say that chances are they will have what you smoke...unless you smoke garbage, then you'll be S.O.L. The prices are fair and often cheaper than most other stores, but in my opinion the biggest value this humidor has going for it are #1) Knowledgeable owner and staff; 2) GREAT customers who are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to share experiences and reviews of their favorite cigars; 3) A great owner who appreciates his customers and who doesn't believe in just having expensive merchandise and gouging customers. Joseph believes in creating customer loyalty and it shows through his actions not words. OVERALL, if you are a cigar aficionado, a beginner, or know absolutely NOTHING about cigars but you are interested in trying or just looking for gift ideas, you should DEFINITELY stop into this humidor.”

“Absolutely fabulous facility! I've only been in twice and already impressed with their knowledge and level of service! Tonight I went in looking for a corkscrew as I've newly begun going wine-tasting on weekends. Previously I was assisted in selecting a gift of whiskey for someone special. Both times I was assisted by lovely gentleman who led me to my choices! I didn't catch the previous gentleman in the whiskey aisle around the holidays, but tonight Frank who I believe is a manager or lead(gave leader quality when observing him working the lines) helped me pick out a corkscrew that wasn't even top budget! He could easily have shown me the fancier models, but steered me towards the one he swears waiters live by(and I'd read something similar online.) he also recommended a few wines which sounded amazing once I finish the ones I have at home! Store is neat and tidy and I love the expertise when one isn't entirely sure what one is looking for. Highly highly recommend and will be back for wine tastings and events!!!”

“This is the best cigar shop around the Bay Area hands down! The owner is the nicest guy that is very knowledgeable and always super helpful. The selection is constantly increasing and they always have the best of the best on hand and at great prices. There is nowhere else I spend my money for cigars except The Cigar Parlor! 100% highly recommended!”

“(DON'T GO START A FIGHT THEN BRING 5 OF YOUR "HOMIES" THREATENING THE OWNER, I WOULD'VE PULLED 2 GUNS ON YOU)I will not go anywhere else, the prices are great the owner and his employees are extremely nice and will take care of you, few times they refused to charge me for products. DON'T LISTEN TO THE OTHER IDIOTS.”
