They have an area with nice chairs and televisions to smoke and relax. They have cigar lockers. Plenty of parking bring your own coffee to buy coffee there. read more

Michelle is genuinely humble is my first thought, and empathetic towards customers that need to disconnect from the day to day work life. It is not often you can find a place that cares about the customer experience. Michelle knows how to cater to those needing to escape into a socially balanced environment. She has a way of making everyone feel VIP, even in a crowded room. If that is not enough, I absolutely encourage you to try one of her specialty drinks. Her mixes are amazing, containing unique flavors. As you can see, I am a big supporter of her and this location. read more

I'm no aficionado, I just happen to like an occasional cigar, really once in a blue moon. This place seems to have the best prices and selection in the area. Friendly knowledgeable staff, and supposedly the biggest humidor room in the world. I wouldn't know, but it's certainly a claim that's not only interesting but believable. read more

My partner and I made our way to Casa de montecristo for our one year anniversary. She is a huge fan of cigars so i decided to surprise her by coming here. It was our first time and I'm so glad we came. We absolutely loved it. First we made our way to the cigar shop, we were greeted right away and everyone was very helpful. Afterwards, we made our way to the lounge where Michelle served us. She was absolutely amazing and made one of the best old fashions I've ever had. We can't wait to come back here and relax with another cigar and another drink made by Michelle. I would 100% recommend. read more

Cigar SuperStore. So many cigars, so little time. Their walkin humidor is a small warehouse. Cigars everywhere. The guy says they carry 700 lines, and many sizes per line. As I walk the aisle, I spot many rare and limited edition cigars. Behind the counters are the hot new releases. I found me some elusive Viage Skull and Bones. They even have Tat Blacks. Bottom line is.. if you are looking for something special, they will most likely have it. Ask them for help to put together a rare pack for that cigar aficionado in your life. The store has a cigar lounge. Its nice and comfy. I wished they'd hire someone to take better care of it. Give it some love and cleanup , and it'll be a fantastic lounge for sure. The folks that work behind the counter are very knowledgeable. They have seen just about every cigar out in the market and can advise you on your purchase. Simply fantastic! read more

This may be the largest retail cigar store in the U.S. - it's the size of small supermarket. It's larger than the old midtown JR. Any experienced cigar smoker will feel like a kid in a candy store. The brand you are looking for is likely to be here, although the most exclusive cigars within those brands may not be on display. Padron cigars are behind the counter, although they are not my absolute favorite, I cannot dispute their pride of place. The collapse of the cigar boom has decimated the midtown NY outlets like Arnold's, Davidoff, and Barclay-Rex, and having smoked down my reserves, this is likely to be my new browse. Prices here are good for retail, you likely can do better by mail order, but this is way more fun. I picked up E.P. Carillo, My Father, and some oversize Nat Shermans for a laugh. I added a discount sampler at check-out - eager to try the Aging Room cigar - the others were good brands as well. I did not find the cavernous lounge all that inviting - and while I like the idea of sharing a smoke with new people, the smoke level here was off-putting to me. I miss the days of grabbing a cigar at the midtown Barclay-Rex. I also miss the service and intimacy of the smaller stores. read more

UPDATE 7/12/19 I'm changing my review from 5 stars to 3 stars. This place needs a serious cleaning & upgrading/replacing tables & chairs. There is dust/ash everywhere. Cmon JR Cigars--you have to put some effort into keeping this place clean. I've been here SEVERAL times since my last review & it just seems to get dirtier. Also, the ventilation is horrible. With a space like this, ventilation should be top notch. I've been there at 8:45pm and the staff announces that everyone must leave at 9pm.

I've been a patron of J&R Cigars now rebranded as Casa de Montecristo for over 30 years. Initially in the Wall Street area, now for the last 5 or so years at the Paramus rt.17 location. During all of these years I have never had a bad experience until last evening. The young lady tending bar was the worst representation of the company ever. There is no need for me to leave disparaging remarks, I just hope it doesn't happens again. Feeling harassed to purchase a drink from the bar and misplacing my 200k plus credit card is not a welcome sight, especially since it appears as though no one else was required to have their card held at the bar. This is a quality establishment with quality employees, but sometimes one employee can ruin all of the goodwill it has earned. Hopefully this was just a one time experience. read more

I like to indulge in a flavored cigar every so often, much to the dismay of my family. It's my only vice, so come off it! J-R's Paramus location offers an insane selection of all types of cigars, from popular to relatively unknown brands. They have everything from handmade cigars to domestic cigars, including J-R "alternatives" if you will. J-R's is like walking into a huge humidor, which is great, but it's not so great if you want to keep your hair silky straight. I have a 15 minute window of time to pick something out before the humidity wrecks my blowout. I was dying for my favorite coffee-infused cigar - Tabak Especial. Smooth as a cup of java. Much to my dismay, they were sold out of them. WHAT THE F?! Guess the secret is out. I opted for two new options from the CAO Flavours Collection - Eileen's Dream (white chocolate and Irish whiskey flavor) and Caramelo Joe (espresso, cream, and caramel flavor). They're "girlie" cigars (i.e. - skinny and small) but I figured they would do the trick. The Caramelo Joe possessed better flavor than the Eileen's Dream. J-R seems to carry a lot more flavored cigars than they used to. Their selection used to be slim, but now it's quite nice. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. They never pooh-pooh me nor make me feel like I don't know what I want (nor what I am taking about) because I do, dammit. Even when I go in there alone, they don't treat me like a clueless broad. So ladies, if your man likes indulging in cigars, then please go ahead and visit J-R's for a gift for him. The staff will help you pick out something amazing and they will not rip you off in the process. read more

This review really should be in two parts. The J&R humidor is awesome and rather imposing. What they lack in better & rare inventory they make up for in sheer ambience and volume. It's massive, well-stocked and visually interesting. It's also really humid with two steam machines cranking out lots of mist to keep their inventory well humidified and fresh. Unfortunately, they don't carry a whole lot of better inventory. For that I would rather go to Ridgewood Tobacco or just about anywhere in the City. The other half of the store used to be well...a store. In addition to tobacco and supplies they sold clothing, perfume, hats and nick knacks all of which smelled very much like smoke. I guess that was to be expected being located in a cigar store. They have closed the store portion and reclaimed the space as a cigar lounge. Not just a regular cigar lounge but a Montecristo premium cigar lounge. Unfortunately they missed the mark by a mile. Kindly advise who came up with this designation when they serve neither food nor liquor. By contrast, the Montecristo Lounge in Porterhouse in Montvale offers both as well as a far more visually striking interior. At J&R it's more like a collection of leather chairs, tables a few TVs and not a whole hell of a lot more. Not sure what one needs to do in order to become a Montecristo Lounge but clearly, it's not much. Sad because by allowing places like this to use the designation seriously dilutes their brand. This is more like a place you can go if you don't want to stink up your man cave. I think they were better off selling shirts. read more

Was excited to finally check out JR's huge humidor (it really is the largest humidor I've ever seen!) I wanted to get some great cigars at a good price. They do have a huge selection but none of the "rare" cigars I can get in NYC. No Liga Privada's (they did have the undercrowns), no Opus x's... The workers weren't very amicable, but whatever they weren't rude. I bought 2 padron maduro's and an AF Hemingway. Wanted to pick up a stick of MY Uzi weighs a ton, but they only had 10packs available. Smoked a padron in the lounge, nice comfortable couches with a few tables in the middle, and a 40" tv. The merchandise section is pretty big as well. If your looking to buy a box or 5 pack in a hurry, I'd say stop here and you can't go wrong. But you could probably find a better deal online. The lounge is a good place to relax, grab a coffee or soda and have a smoke, haven't checked out the restaurant. read more

I won J&R's "Cigar School" prize at a golf outing last year. The prize was for five of my friends and I to experience a light, pre-ordered dinner with soft drinks and then a relaxed time lounging in their parlor sitting in big comfy leather chairs. It's a nice setting to hear their experts, Jim and Paul, describe most every aspect of cigar making, cigar selecting, cigar tips (how to properly cut and light a cigar, for example) and just overall cool stuff you'd never know about cigars otherwise. Really unique weeknight with friends. They provide you and your buddies with three cigars each of their choosing - mild, medium and bold - and from there it's just "Chill". Very relaxed, very cool experience, even for someone like me who'll only enjoy a cigar during a special occasion (I'm not a smoker). The prize certificate said it was a "$225.00" value ~ &38/person. Well worth it for something different on guys night out! Thanks Paul for setting us all up and, Jim, for your immense knowledge of the world of cigar making. Have a great 2015! Only reason for not awarding five stars is because they don't have a liquor license (hard to come by in Bergen County). read more

I usually find some interesting and fun accessories there besides cigars at JR. I have bought tee shirts, wine accessories, candy, toys, plus other odd items that they have sometimes. They re-arranged their store which really utilizes their space much better. Near the back of the store near their humidified room is now set up with leather couches and flat screen T.V where cigar smokers can enjoy their cigars and socialize which is a great idea. Now the bad, everything that I bought smelled like cigar smoke. I guess whatever I buy I will have to air everything out and spray febreze, no big deal. read more

The transformation from the previous restaurant is truly impressive. The Paella Arancini was incredibly unique and absolutely delicious.

The restaurant is very pretty overall, though the interior is quite dim, making it difficult to read the menu without additional light. The tables were also placed fairly close together. Our server was polite and welcoming throughout the evening. We started with the Korean fried chicken and tuna tataki. The chicken was moist and coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. The tuna tataki was flavorful; however, the taro chips were very thin and tended to break easily when holding the tuna. For our main courses, we ordered the Icelandic cod, rigatoni, Freebird chicken, and a side of whipped potatoes. Dessert was the hazelnut chocolate crunch, which was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, the food was enjoyable. That said, the pricing felt more in line with a fine dining experience, while the atmosphere and service were closer to an upscale casual restaurant. Some small details, such as the whipped potatoes being served without a serving spoon, stood out. While minor, these details can make a difference, especially at this price point.

There as outdoor/indoor space for hookah was on the first floor. The upper level is where I spent the majority of the time. The bar was slow but that how it in a night club most times. The drinks were delicious. All the staff were friendly. There were multiple places throughout the establishment which were set up with a back drop to snap pictures. The vibe on the top floor blew my mind. I never imaged there would be a place like this is Bergenfield. There were dancers on stilts, confetti, smoke machines, and a screen to watch the dj. I enjoyed myself.

Beautiful setting and great vibes if you are looking to chill out or party with your friends…read more Service was quite good but Food options was quite limited when compared to the Drinks Menu, and price was definitely on the higher end, which was still acceptable for such a spot. We had ordered Guacamole which tasted kind of bland and was just average. Drinks were pretty good though. My main issue was how they have setup their Hookah. Very limited Flavors to begin with and except for one, all other flavors were not so great. On top of that, they charge $10 extra to replace the Coals. $10 for COALS..?!?!? I have been to so many Hookah Lounges and this was the 1st we were ever charged for getting the coals changed. That is just atrocious. Switching the complete bowl with new flavor was $20, so obviously we ended up opting for that eventhough the 1st bowl/flavour was still good and just needed new coals.

We've ordered takeout a few times because we love their seafood soup and steak, but this past Friday we decided to dine in, and we left even more impressed. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The music set the perfect vibe and paired beautifully with the stylish decor. Also loved that even though the music was loud I could still hear and have conversations without having to scream across the table. The food was an easy 5/5. The grilled octopus appetizer was absolutely delicious and honestly I'd go back just for that dish. It was flavorful, filling, and perfect as is. The seafood steak entree was also amazing, and the margarita flights are a must try. This spot has officially become our go to for date nights.

Our Server Alexander was incredibly attentive, professional, and had a great sense of timing--never making us feel rushed, yet always there exactly when we needed something.

This is our favorite place to eat and we've been going here for many years! the service and food are always Great! we have to point out that Hamilton was outstanding!

With over 180 wing flavors to choose from, the only problem you will have is deciding because you will want to explore this seemingly never ending list. These are a couple of the wings I explored: Peanut Butter & Jelly Wings: These wings were smothered in creamy peanut butter with a heaping mound of jelly. At first I was reluctant to explore this unusual combination, but as soon as I gave it a try, it was love at first bite. Feel free to smear or dip; the choice is yours. S'mores Wings: This is another unique, but unbelievably savory combination. These dessert style wings were smothered in marshmallow cream, drizzled with chocolate syrup, and sprinkled with crushed pieces of graham crackers. It was a sight for sore eyes. If you need additional chocolate sauce don't be afraid to ask for "s'more." And make sure you request "s'more" napkins because you will certainly need them! In addition to the wings, I also explored one of the main courses. Blue 42 Burger: Named after the restaurant, this burger is topped with mozzarella sticks, blue cheese crumble and bacon. The Blue 42 char on top of the bun has a nice decorative touch. If you are a fan of the Green Bay Packers, you have come to the right spot. The interior is decorated with Packers memorabilia, which even includes wall art on the ceiling. All fans are still welcome even if you aren't an aficionado of the Packers. The restaurant staff also supports New Jersey's finest, New Jersey's bravest, the ambulance corp, and the armed forces. I truly enjoyed dining at this local bar and I see why their wings are high profile. #blue42 #wingman #wingmanblue42 #blue42elmwoodpark #blue42burger #smoreswings #smores #peanutbutterandjelly #peanutbutterandjellywings #pbj #pbjwings #elmwoodparknj #GreenBayPackersFans #njfinest #njbravest #AmbulanceCorp #armedforces

A solid little sports bar known for its massive -- almost oppressive -- wing menu. There is a real…read morecase here of not being able to see the forest for the trees when faced with nearly 200 varieties, many of which, upon closer inspection, amount to the same handful of flavors rearranged into slightly different combinations. It feels rooted in the same philosophy that says a man buys three suits and somehow discovers endless outfits within them. But is there anything wrong with just three good suits? Do all possible combinations truly have value? At what point does variety become a little ridiculous? That said, the bones -- so to speak -- are very good. The wings are fried well, generously sauced, and satisfying in whatever flavor palette you ultimately settle on. Just do not expect the decision-making process to come easily.

My wife ordered some ribs which turned out really fatty. She returned them and was given something else. While they didn't charge us for the item it's worth noting that they need to pay attention to the quality of meat purchased. I always loved everything I eat at this place, last couple of visits I haven't been as satisfied. The service was just acceptable, after taking our orders she never came back to see if anyone wanted another drink. The ambience is always active at this place, but they need to pay attention to the food! It was just ok this time. The deserts were delicious though.
