If you're in downtown Boise, this is THE place for premium cigars! To preface, I am a very…read moreoccasional occasional enjoyer of cigars... certainly no aficionado. However, this location is absolutely perfect everyone, from novices (such as myself) all the way up to the most discerning cigar smokers. To start, the walk-in humidor is very large and is well-stocked with an exceptional variety of cigars at every price point. Sturman's carries a diverse selection from top luxury brands such as Padrón, Perdomo, Dunbarton, Oliva, Ashton, and SO much more. Additionally, Sturman's has a great selection of affordable cigars for those on a tight budget. I must stress that all the cigars here, from individual sticks to full boxes, are VERY well-priced. Outside of cigars, the shop also has a solid selection of premium pipe tobacco. Leaving the humidor, the shop carries a choice selection of cigar and pipe hardware as well as accessories including lighters, cutters, punches, humidifiers, luxury humidors, ashtrays, handcrafted pipes, and so much more. Just like their cigar selection, Sturman's catalogue of accessories is highly diverse, ranging from affordable (but high-quality) options all the way up to premium hardware brands such as Xikar. Trust me, for all of your cigar needs, Sturman's is the spot to choose. While not as large as the lounges at the Sturman's locations in Eagle or Garden City, the lounge at the downtown location is still excellent. The indoor seating area is very comfortable. The four, leather chairs are comfy and the indoor seating area is extremely quiet, well air-conditioned, and equipped with fans and air purifiers making the overall smoking experience very pleasurable and relaxing. No lingering smoke here! On top of that, there's an outdoor seating area at the entrance of the shop with several cushioned chairs and a large ashtray for those who'd prefer to be outside. Lastly, it would be crime not to mention the store's desk clerk and tobacconist, Lance. Lance is incredibly friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable about cigars and hardware. I asked him what he would personally recommend for a medium to full body Maduro that wasn't too spicy or peppery. He immediately pointed me in the direction of the Leaf by Oscar Cigars, specifically in the 5 x 50 robusto size. This cigar was absolutely delectable and is most definitely my new favorite. Pairing this delicious cigar with the comfortable lounge made my time at Sturman's a delight! Lance was a lovely person to talk to while I was there and his enthusiastic dedication customer service elevated my already incredible experience. Whether you are looking for a quick stop for supplies or a welcoming place to relax and smoke a fine cigar, I can't recommend the Sturman's Smoke Shop in downtown Boise enough!

Always a pleasure to visit and chat with Lance. Exceptional…read moreselection with service. Sturman's is a must see when visiting Boise.

He warned me there was glue that made the screw stick and to cut the plastic off and use pliers to remove the screw. I did EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID and The head of the screw twisted off the rest of it leaving the end of the screw in my torch and no way to get it out. As a business owner, if I gave someone instructions that resulted in a broken unit I'd replace what I could for them or attempt to make it right in some way. NOPE!! He referred me to go buy a special tap and die set from the hardware store and that he couldn't do anything for me... GO TO HIGH MOUNTAIN SMOKE SHOP, GO TO YEE OLD LANTERN, HELL DRIVE TO ONTARIO... JUST GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE!! there is no loyalty to the customer whatsoever AND THIS IS THE LIMITED VOLCANO RED EDITION... can't even find them anymore!! Way to screw a loyal customer.

Once upon a time I left a 4 star review for this little store.... Lately, this has been the store…read morethat has been on my way and so I have visited increasingly more often. In the past I think about the store and it's staff did AOK job and I didn't really have anything to complain about, but it was sort of like giving a 5 star to your local Burger King or something. It was pretty basic. I've noticed that over the last year that their hiring practices have either just ran into some lucky applicants that have a good head on their shoulder, stellar customer service, and are the types of people that put themselves out there to We'll do a job well and in turn create a better experience for customer and company alike. I can't think of any other local smoke shop of this variety that I actually know the names or I have nicknames for of people that work there lol like right now, they have Tracy who I can only imagine as severely underpaid. I've watched her deal with some crazy customers and she's just super cool and most of the time even when it starts software it ends in a good note. That's the kind of girl you want to keep you on in your counters and raise her up through your rinks just saying. Just to be clear and for legal purposes or what not, I do not know Tracy in any way other than as my cashier at said vice dispensary. I would like to say that I don't know Michael, hes another dude working there right now. Hes friendly and super cool. I would say to give him a raise too but well, I didn't even know he worked there until all of the suddenly worked there and I worked with him before at a different company and hes a hard worker.... So.... yep.... I just assume that all the employees here deserve more money. 1. It is because they're all friendly and knowledgeable and 2. they put up with a barrage of dude bro ego-driven, Grade A Brosidan (yes, Poisidan for Bria) bullshit... like during the covid pandemic, in the snow, over summer break in 103 spiking temps.... with a smile, none the less.... And this store is still standing.... Yep this place is pretty rad, and well.... as long as they allow me to smoke in this state.... at least one of my vices are covered! Side note, in case anyone cares, recently the camels have been cheaper here than through the gas station or other local vendors.
