WOW, so happy to find a place you can get a Drink and a Smoke in California that doesn't have a green tint, lol! I LOVE the selection of Cigars! Although I am still SO ANGRY that California TRICKED my ass (and Millions of others) to VOTE to remove flavored tobacco products! I was thinking about the kiddies and Vaping....NOT legit, Adult and established Cigar companies that cannot sell their product in this state anymore, WHAT a BUMMER!! We gotta VOTE better next time people! As far as this spot, Very friendly and down to earth staff, can't beat it! read more

Phenomenal smokes, quality and customer service. Great recommendations for first timers. 10/10 read more

Bad service. Stood at the bar it looked like the bartenders were busy so I was waiting for them to be finished. Only 2 other ppl at the bar btw and they had already been served. They hadn't acknowledged us yet I assume it was because they were busy cleaning. Another gentleman walked up to the bar after we had already been waiting there for so long and they asked him right away "are you ready babe". Ok not cool we had been waiting there for awhile already been waiting there so long and they helped him right when he walked up. They need to work on their customer service read more

You can't beat this place for selection this is really my first chance to visit a cigar bar that has both indoor and outdoor seating it has a bar and it's amazing! For the nervous cigar person that I am I was very fortunate that the people that own this place and the customers are extremely well-informed, very polite and this environment is one of the few places you get to experience the beauty of living in an environment where people are free to discuss what they want, and listen to each other... None could've captivated that essence better than having a cigar out on the exterior porch which is covered, and as a television. The wine selection is incredible... I shut pictures just to give you an idea of the wide variety of offerings but they also keep several coolers full of colder beverages for those of you that enjoy beer, or some of the flavored seltzer waters that have alcohol in them too. Why would anybody want to come here? Well that is extremely easy you can walk in with as little as five dollars and come out with a quality cigar and enough information to make a purchase all the way up to the most expensive cigar in the house... There kept in an incredibly well preserved humidified room... Again, if you like selection variety and want to learn about some thing that is truly classic this is where you start, and this is where you will finish I can't say enough good things about this place what a wonderful experience today was! Also I had to have an A&W root beer with my cigar lol! read more

See all

This is a really nice place to enjoy a cigar (or two). I was visiting from out of town, and it was close by to where we had dinner, so took a chance. So glad we did.

Great vibe, great wine selection, love the selection of cigars and the cost is fair.

Nice place in the Upland town center that makes you feel welcome and the staff is friendly read more

Cigar Exchange International - A nice cigar(Quorum) and ice cold root beer - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Upland, California

This place is one of the -- not exactly unsung, but insufficiently sung -- gems of Upland. The wine selection is good and the cigar selection is excellent; regarding wines, in particular, I have found Italian and French reds that compare favorably with what a larger establishment like Liquorama can offer, and at decent prices, too. Folks are quite friendly to strangers (by no means something to take for granted in the hip bar scene) and the ambience is pleasant, both indoors at the boor, and outdoors at the patio. The architecture of the Train Depot is intriguing. Most importantly, on Friday and Saturday nights they have live music -- a wide variety of soloists and little groups ranging from jazz to rock and folk. read more

This place is awesome! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by James, one of the cigar experts (coincidentally that was exactly what I was looking for). I was on vacation and jonesing for a stogie and this place happened to come up on my search...and I was glad for it! James escorted me into the walk-in humidor and we struck up a conversation like old buddies. Matter of fact, when a couple of regulars walked in they chimed in, oftentimes ribbing James, which made the place even inviting! Did James show me the expensive cigars? Yes. Did James show me the less expensive ones? Yes. Did he push anything on me? NO. Matter of fact, I'd already spent a bundle on my vacation and wasn't sure I was going to even buy anything but because James didn't push...I did! And I'm going back to get more because I LOVED the smoke James recommended. Great place! Great products! Great staff! Great regulars! Great ambiance! In reading some of the negative reviews did I come in on one of the better days for this place?? I doubt it. I came in on a regular day, with the regular staff, and some of the "regulars" hanging about. Just one of those places where everyone just seems to know your name. ;) read more

Amazing vibe. Good customer service and good bands playing. So many options to choose from

So, I was looking for a place to buy cigars near my store, Dreamland Family Mattress 2 that I opened on Foothill Boulevard, and I noticed this place here in Upland had five out of five star ranking I decided I'd go and give them a shot and I'm glad I did. It's located directly next to the railroad tracks on the north side and as I walk in I was greeted promptly. It looks like this would be a pretty good place to hang out and have a cigar as well out on their kind of outdoor covered patio, but this was the middle of the day and I needed to get back to work so I just went into the cigar humidor The humidor itself is pretty large there is a variety pack of Brands, fortunately for me they carry one of my favorites which is La Gloria Cubana Serie R.... and the price on that was a few dollars less than I've seen it most places for so I was a happy camper. So the place is nice, the people are friendly, the humidor is well-stocked, and the prices are great! What more could you ask for? Happy yelping! read more

This business is awesome! During this COVID-19 pandemic they were able to still provide top notch service. I was able to get a gift to a family member during these crazy times. Will absolutely be back soon! Brother in law loved the Sin Compromiso. Great recommendation. read more

Nice comfy place, nestled right along the Metrolink tracks in Upland. The shop is very welcoming and friendly to new faces and their regulars. Humidor is well stocked and the hosts, are very knowledgeable about their sticks. The day I visited on 5/22/19, it rained heavy and was unusually California cool that day. All in all, a nice place, great staff and folks make this a cool spot to hang out for beers and wine. read more

My new favorite spot. Great patio. The natives were very cool and welcoming. Nice selection of cigars. Found some local rolled stogies there that smoked really fine. And there is a bar with patio service. read more
