I will forever be grateful to Ted for turning me on to good cigars just over a year ago. This was only my second time stopping by CDM Cigars but both experiences have been genuinely memorable. I have really enjoyed purchasing cigars and supporting the business, but honestly, just as much as that, I've enjoyed talking with Ted. His knowledge and experience with cigars is incredible and you can tell he genuinely loves sharing it with people. Great cigars, great conversation, and the kind of local business I'll always look forward to visiting whenever I'm in Corona Del Mar / Newport Beach or anywhere close. read more

Great selection, but inconsistent hours. Shop does not open at 10am. Would be nice if they held consistent operating hours.

The selection is great, and the service is even better. They have an amazing selection of Padrons.

Knowledgeable cigar guys with a good selection of fine cigars in a convenient location, just of PCH in CDM. I have and will return to this shop when in Newport Beach. read more

CDM Cigars deserves every bit of praise my boyfriend gave them--and more! He's so passionate about cigars and knows his stuff inside and out, so when he raved about this shop, I knew it had to be something special. What really impressed me is that he picked out cigars just for me, and let's just say: I'm officially hooked. The quality, flavor, and smoothness of what I tried were beyond what I expected and the value they made me see in the cigars is crazy! I love it You can tell this place isn't just about selling cigars--they truly care about helping you find something you'll love. It's a perfect spot whether you're a seasoned smoker (like my boyfriend!) or someone like me who's just discovering how enjoyable a fine cigar can be. I'm so glad we found CDM Cigars. It's now our go-to stop in Newport. Highly recommend! read more

CDM Cigars is officially my go-to cigar spot and trust me, I don't say that lightly. Antoine and Ted made me feel like I was part of the crew.

Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just starting your cigar journey, there's something here for everyone. I've already recommended this place to friends who are long-time smokers and a few newbies who are just getting into it. CDM Cigars is that perfect blend of welcoming and knowledgeable. Can't recommend it enough. This is your new favorite cigar shop. Just accept it now. You'll thank me later. read more

Just wanted to thank Ted (The Owner) of the cigar shop! Absolute standout gentleman! I'm new to smoking cigars and don't know much about them at all and Ted answered all my questions, gave me recommendations on his favorite ones, and helped me pick a great cigar! Ended up trying the Padron 1926 and it was fantastic. We ended up chatting for a while and smoking cigars outside. Amazing family owned place. His son Antwon is also an owner. Didn't get a chance to meet him but I'm sure his customer service is 10/10 as well! Anyone in the area looking for a cigar shop, I highly recommend CDM Cigars. Ted will take care of you!! This will be my cigar shop from now on and I will recommend this place to all my friends and family read more

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I am an entry level smoker and the owners were very helpful. They chose the right fit for me and my friend. I highly recommend this shop to others as they are very well informed about different kinds of cigars. The selection is superb and they keep all their cigars at the perfect humidity. read more

Just finished my studying of how to smoke a cigar and all the social etiquettes. Looked up online where to buy cigars and read the reviews. They were super nice, helpful, I had a list of cigars and they spent time picking out the ones they preferred. Seems like they have a nice selection of cigars. Picked out a torch and guillotine both in matte black. Ready to go back and start up my collection! Joey read more

I loved this place they have a great selection of cigars and reasonable prices but the reason I gave them a one star is because they sold me a fake partagas 170 anniversary and I got my refund but it's just shady that a high end place would even have access or even carry fake cigars. read more

I was having lunch in Fashion Island yesterday at Hododdys and I searched Yelp for any new cigar stores in the area. Low and behold CDM Cigars showed up with stellar reviews so I had to check it out. The store is tucked away on a side street, Poinsettia, but I was able to find a parking spot on PCH, not always an easy thing to do, especially on the weekend, so I felt like I had won the Lotto. I walked into the store and I literally walked into their humidor! The entire store is set up at 72% RH. Their selection of cigars is pretty impressive, even though they are still waiting for other inventory to arrive from their vendors. If you're a Pete Johnson fan, you'll be in heaven as they carry a good selection of his sticks, including Tatuaje. You won't find any low budget smokes here, but their are plenty of great quality cigars in the $10-$20 range. Ted and Antoine are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate about cigars and they will make you feel welcome. They have a limited selection of lighters, cutters and butane, but you come here for the cigars. Oh, and if you're looking for cigarettes or a hookah, please look somewhere else. The only bummer, as another reviewer pointed out, this is only a store, and not a lounge, so you can't hang around and enjoy your stick while watching sports or chatting with fellow cigar smokers. However, they mentioned that Gulfstream restaurant has a cigar friendly patio, so you can enjoy a drink and food, as you light up a Tatuaje Verocu! Fellow Yelpers, and cigar lovers, if you're in the area, please support these guys. Good luck, Ted and Antoine. read more

This is a LEGIT cigar store! We were searching for a cigar shop and luckily found this hidden gem. It's one huge humidor when you walk in there are tons of high end to low end cigars. Prices are reasonable and the owners were very knowledgable. We came in looking for a Tatuaje and found a whole entire section of it. The owners even recommended a place to go and enjoy the cigar. We will def be back. Thanks again Ted and Antoine!! read more

Great cigar selection. Very helpful with picking out new cigars to try. Love the Padron.

Great cigar shop with super friendly owners and phenomenal selection of cigars. I will for sure be back. :) The only thing I would change is the price rating on Yelp shouldn't be rated as expensive (4 $) more like (2 $) as I felt like their prices were reasonable. I could see people being turned off by that thinking they are going to pay more then they should. read more
