“Been coming here for a few years and can say it’s the best shop in the area. They are all authentic high quality products that are fairly priced. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable on the products and willing to help. Also they host sales around various holidays for some even better deals and raffles for free stuff. If you need some goodies slow puffs is the spot.”
“Super friendly staff, needed a charger for my vape machine and offered me one for free! It was the wrong cord but I had no problem paying only $5 for it. If you’re a savage you’ll shop here.”
“I came in knowing nothing about cigars? but wanted to buy one as a Father's Day gift. The man at the front desk was very polite and kind. He listened to what little I knew about my father's taste and guided me to a cigar he thought my dad would love. He was right. My dad really enjoyed that cigar he recommended, making it a successful Father's Day gift. Thank you for the amazing service!”
“Its one of my favorite stops artisanally made art pieces, glass and if you're looking for something they will either have it or bring it in. Feels like being apart of a local family.”
“Outstanding customer service, was looking for a particular brand of American spirits. He offered to get them a very next day. The gentleman called me that night to let me know they were going to be in. thank you again!!! world-class Customer Service!!!!!”

“My husband has been a Newport smoker for many years and as of a few years ago switched to rolling his own cigarettes. He's constantly trying to find a smoke shop that doesn't sell stale tobacco. He smokes American Club Tobacco Menthol & uses Tops menthol filter tubes and he visted the smoking ape shop today & he's definitely gonna to be a regular. They didn't carry his brands before but they got them in as promised and both items were fresh. Great customer service, clean & very helpful. Thank you for a great 1st time experience.”

“First time stopping in today. Had the pleasure of being assisted by a girl name “E” From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the products I needed and took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and clarity. It's clear that she cares about customer satisfaction and wants to ensure that everyone leaves happy with their purchase. Her recommendations were spot on, and I left feeling confident in my choices. I look forward to returning to the shop and receiving her excellent service again. Highly recommend!”
“There exists, nestled improbably between a discount retailer and a sandwich shop in suburban Connecticut, a testament to America's enduring romance with ritual and relaxation. North of Havana Cigar Lounge, with its ambitious square footage and democratic approach to luxury, represents something increasingly rare in our modern landscape: a genuine third place.
The space unfolds like a revelation. Past the initial cognitive dissonance of its strip mall façade, one discovers an expansive sanctuary where hardwood floors extend toward distant walls, and an artfully patterned drop ceiling—alternating between white and warm copper tones—draws the eye upward. The lighting, soft and considered, casts the kind of glow that makes everyone look like they belong in a Raymond Chandler novel.
Leather seating, arranged with the careful choreography of a stage set, creates pockets of intimacy within the grand scale. Chesterfield couches, bearing the dignified patina of countless conversations, anchor the space. Wall-mounted televisions and curated artwork complete the tableau, though they feel almost superfluous in a room designed for face-to-face discourse.
The lounge's membership structure and cutting fees might raise eyebrows among the uninitiated, but they serve as gentle guardians of a carefully cultivated atmosphere. The well-stocked humidor offers both accessibility and sophistication—a metaphor, perhaps, for the establishment itself.
What strikes us most forcefully is not the physical space, impressive though it may be, but rather the democratic spirit that pervades it. Here, in an age of increasingly stratified social spaces, is a venue where the banker and the bulldozer operator might share not just space but perspective, united in the contemplative ritual of a good cigar.
Yes, there are imperfections. The strip mall location challenges expectations. Some fixtures bear witness to the passage of time. But in these supposed flaws lies authenticity—a quality far more valuable than mere polish.
The leather speaks of men who wait,
In copper light they congregate.
Wood beneath and smoke above,
In strip mall walls they find their love.
The leaf burns slow, time burns too,
In circles rising, old and new.
No kings, no pawns, just brothers here,
Where smoke rings drift and disappear.
The humidor stands proud and tall,
While wisdom whispers through it all:
That peace lives not in gilded rooms,
But where the honest cedar blooms.”
“Employees are friendly and helpful. Store is clean. And they have all the supplies I need to make my own smokes. Lot cheaper than cost of ready made cigarettes by pack”
“This place has the best Product and you cant beat the prices, They have Everything a Smoke Shop should have Vapes , Hooka's , Tobacco, Papers and more.. If you haven't tried the Yabba Grabba try it. That's my new Go to”
“So , for Christmas I wanted to grab a few decent cigars for someone. The shop owner assisted me so earnestly, it was a breath of fresh air . He asked my target spending point and we found a great selection of 15-20 $ cigars and was super helpful. I also got pipe tobacco for myself , amazing selection!!”
