This guy tried to sell me a box of Olivia V's for 600$. When I said no, I said I'd rather not do business with him. He cursed me and threw me out.

Joe has given me nothing but pleasant realness. Sometimes you just need that kind of no nonsense in your life. Have been going off his recommendations and they have been great so far. I am totally new to the world of tobacco outside of cigarettes and cigarillos from the convenience store and have purchased pipe tobacco twice from here now. Always thought the pretty packaging was a plus to learning about the different cultivars but even Joe gave me the gentle reality that there is even more to this than meets the eye. Can't wait to be back

Do not waste your precious time and hard-earned money at this establishment. As a long-time resident, I can attest that dealing with the owner was the most dreadful experience I have ever had with a local business. I highly recommend seeking out alternative options

Time and time again, Joe @ Cigar Cigar has never steered me wrong. Great guy who has such a wide knowledge of cigars. He’s very kind and has a great variety of cigars. Highly recommended!!!

I wasn’t sure what to think when I walked in as I had read some mixed Google reviews. Turns out that Joe is an old-school guy. Yeah, he can seem a little gruff but that doesn’t scare me. He is knowledgeable and I suspect that if you took the time to get to know him, he’d be a good friend to have see you next time Joe. Oh yes, I bought a couple of beautiful Oliva V Melano stickd

Very good owner, loves cigars, stores them in perfect conditions. Am being aficionado and found soul mate here. We smoked together, it was pleasure. Joseph, greetings from you Ukrainian friend.

When you walk into this place do not expect the warm fuzzies nor outright friendly service. The owner is a local dude with lots of local customers, possibly a pack rat (stuff everywhere), but with a good selection of cigars. He seemed rough around the edges and honest. So when you walk in, walk in with aloha attitude. Not sure if there is a backstory, but you have to earn his trust and confidence and you'll realize he knows his stuff and he has a good selection. But you also have to know your stuff or be upfront about it.

I've missed the opportunity in the past due to timing, yesterday the timing was right...so I stopped in for a look, particularly looking for a new humidor, and I got lucky due to my timing, as he was open.First time inside, definitely as mentioned in other reviews the shop is full of unopened boxes of prior deliveries. There are multiple ashtrays here and there, mostly full of stogies enjoyed in the past. There is a large glass walk-in humidor with a fairly large selection of sticks to peruse. I did not recall seeing much if any other accessories, i.e. cutters, lighters, ashtrays or other items for sale. I'm sure that these items are within, just not displayed.I met Joe the proprietor of Cigar-Cigar upon entering as well. Exchanged 'pleasantries' and inquired about a humidor with at least 50 count capacity. He broke out a box cutter and began opening a box that happened to be in front of him and the TV. Alas no humidor...he got up and approached the stack of other boxes near the door.Success!The second box happened to have an external label indicating a humidor was contained within...with a bit more "spirited" banter we agreed upon a price and the sale was made. Was not expecting to see such a fine piece of cigar storage in this shop, Diamond Crown brand no less and a limited edition Pacific Coast humidor honoring the city of Monterey, CA too boot. Look it up, a beautiful piece indeed.He did crack open the locked humidor behind the main counter and pulled out a fine box of Arturo Fuente 'Fuente Fuente Opus X' that I believe were the Super Belicoso variety, don't recall exactly...and as noted in other reviews Joe has aged these 5+ years from delivery to him here on O'ahu. As I was not looking for sticks on this day I did pass, despite the fine smell of red pepper, leather and overall full bodied sweetness emanating from the box.I'm sure I'll stop back in sometime down the road and spend more time in the walk-in and give a proper review of the overall selection available. In the mean time...E puhi au i kaʻu cigaka me ka maluhia!

Just spoke with Joe and forget what you’ve heard about him being a down to earth person. I called about OpusX 2 months ago about boxes or cigars he had for sale, he mentioned that he wouldn’t ship to CA nor did he care to disclose his selection. It seemed like his attitude was really bad, so I told him look here as a retailer in this industry one would assume that professionalism would be common. Not in his case I smoke tons of high end cigars and work with retailers from coast to coast on finding selections. But this individual has really bad energy & I don’t recommend anyone that wanted to be respected deal with this establishment. I don’t mind spending good money on cigars or products but, this person isn’t worth the time or energy. Look elsewhere and spend your money with someone that has integrity.

Walked 30 minutes from my hotel to find a note on the door that says open at 1:45 and it was 2:30

Hours are wrong on Yelp. Walked over for nothing. Bad business practice. Go somewhere else.

Unfortunately, I do not recommend this cigar lounge. As a matter of fact I don't believe it should be called a lounge. The owner made us feel very uncomfortable! Felt like I had to beg to get into the humidor. We needed to know what we wanted before going in and only after he led the way in. Then the next customer comes in and he let him walk right in, with a child?! WTF?! How freaking rude. I Wanted to sit and enjoy my stick and he got upset that I moved the chair back because it's blocking the walkway. Well sir, there would be walking room if you cleaned up a bit!! Pick up your shitty mess! The place is a pigsty and over priced. Save your time and money. I feel dumb.. I read the reviews before going in. Ugh, wanted to give this place a chance!!! DON'T!!

This place is great! Great products and the owner is extremely knowledgeable. Very nice guy who I have talked to several times, I’m not sure where some of these reviews come from but he is very nice.
