If you or somebody you know loves cigars, this is the only place in North County to go. Gregg runs a unbelievable shop and has unbelievable knowledge of what's in his shop. I'm very finicky when it comes to the type of cigar I like. Gregg knows me and always brings out cigars. I've never heard of yet. Always love. It's just the best place. read more

Small shop but they are big on hospitality with a nice selection. Room in back with a couple of TVs and about 5 old but comfortable chairs. Yes, prices are a little high, but that's what necessary to have a cigar spot I. Expensive tourist real estate. Will definitely pay a visit next time. read more

Best cigar lounge in the area, period. Quickly becoming a regular here. They always have a great humidor with the widest selection of cigars. From Drew Estate, Camacho, and Cohiba. But really where they stand out is with their owners. They set the bar high on building relationships with their customer base and having a high passion for cigars. It just sets the perfect tone that makes you want to stay and enjoy your cigar at the lounge. Gregg, the owner is one of the most stand up and friendliest guys I've ever met. He's always making sure you're doing okay, gives great recommendations, teaching you something new about the cigar world, and overall is a great guy to be around. I've been a manager in retail for years and a business owner himself, so it's safe for me to say that the Cigar Grotto is THE prime example of how a small business should be ran. Will continue to be a regular here and support their business on a usual basis. Great product, great service, great owners. read more

This Cigar Grotto has always been a favorite in North County San Diego. I'm not a smoker, but I do like the aroma of a cigar now and then. My husband picks up the Short Story and I usually go for one in the cherry aroma assortment, although my husband usually ends up smoking it and I get the aroma of cherries in the air, which is all I wanted in the first place. The staff here are helpful, the store is small, but full of good things. They have an extensive pipe collection (I always think of pipes as something sophisticated people smoke after they retire). lol An Indian Chief to greet you and free cut and matches with your cigar purchase! read more

Decent selection of cigars in the main walk in humidor, what is not posted though is that many of the premium cigars are not located in the main walk in humidor. I asked the staff if they carried Fuente Anejo No.77 Sharks and they did (astonishingly they had half a box in inventory of this hard to find gem), but I needed to go to one of the smaller humidors located outside to purchase it. If I did not ask and just walked in I would have had no way of knowing they carried these specifc premium cigars. Also the Padron cigars are stored in these smaller humidors outside which is incredible as these cigars are such great sellers in the market. It would be nice if the premium cigars were visible in the main humidor. One would think these have a higher margins than average cigars and the shop would want potential customers to see these beautiful sticks. The lounge area is in the back and the sofas were comfortable it just did not have the feel of a premium cigar lounge. It felt very much like a local smoke shop and not like some of the larger lounges in San Diego. read more

There are very few legitimate cigar shops in North County San Diego, and even fewer that don't charge tourist trap prices, actually know the product (the owner Greg is an amazingly nice dude), AND will always make you feel at home in this little den-away-from-home. If you're looking for great and vast cigar options at all price points (or pipe tobacco if that's your thing), t's a great little spot that's been around Oceanside for way longer than I have, and there's a reason this place has stood the test of time. read more

Life offers random opportunities to meet terrific people. Yesterday driving home from Orange County, I choose to drive down PCH the rest of the way home. Desiring a Christmas cigar, I pulled over checked Yelp and found myself across the street! Entering the store I met Gregg, who made me feel very welcome. He gave me some terrific advice for some cigar selections and hooked me with a great 15 cigar travel caddy. I ended up enjoying a cigar, watching get some football and talking with several very regulars.

Well, this is long over-due. I've been a fan of the Cigar Grotto for more than 5 years now and have nothing but kind words for the store's proprietors, Gregg and his wife Dee Dee. As a young pup with no cigar experience at all, Gregg took me under his wing and helped me refine my taste by listening to my reviews and making suggestions based upon my feedback. Together, over the years, his keen sense of taste and sharp memory for what I found enjoyable helped him consistently steer me toward cigars that matched my palate (and my wallet). At the Grotto you'll find all the cigar gadgets you need and a selection of cigars that is so meticulously well-kept you needn't look elsewhere. The Grotto throws great cigar dinner events every month at the neighboring restaurants and there's always a sports game to been seen in the lounge. I've gotta say, the locals are great and I can't stop in without seeing at least 5 friendly faces. It's always like Cheers at the Grotto. read more

Hands down best customer service I have ever experienced anywhere.. EVER. The owner, Greg, always makes us feel like family every single time we come in here.. which really isn't that often but it always surprises me how he remembers us. We were having a bit of a sunday funday and Justin wanted to smoke cigars together so we came here and Greg picked out a cigar for me called Dirt. He said it's one of his wife's favorites. I don't smoke cigars all that often so he took care of trimming the end for me and making sure everything was good before giving me my cigar. It was really sweet and nice, I smoked almost the whole thing. The atmosphere in the Cigar Grotto feels like home, there are lots of pictures on the wall and while we were there the hockey game was on and the couches are super comfy.. Honestly I don't have one single bad thing to say about this place. Thanks for the experience Greg, we wil DEFINITELY be back :) :) read more

Luckily, we already know what we like to smoke, so we weren't in there long. But if you're new to cigars, they're great at playing cigar-matchmaker and pointing you in the right direction. To use the lounge, there's a $10 cover charge, which they fancy up by calling it a "Day Pass." They allow outside food but not outside drinks. Naturally, we summoned Uber Eats like the hungry champions we are, and it was glorious. Inside, you've got TVs everywhere for whatever you want to watch, plus a pool table, shuffleboard, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spots to post up and relax. We hung out for about three hours, and they even reminded us we could come back later since the day pass covers re-entry. Basically, it's the theme park wristband of cigar lounges. The $10 also goes toward a beer or a well drink, so of course we grabbed Cuba Libres (aka Rum and Cokes, for the uninitiated). We'll definitely be back!

My husband said it was exactly how he wanted to spend his birthday. Relaxed, refined, and surrounded by good people. We'll definitely be back, and not just for special occasions. Highly recommend for date nights, celebrations, or when you just want to treat yourself to an evening of pure class. Pro tip: Even if you're not a cigar person like me, the atmosphere alone is worth the visit. They'll make you feel welcome regardless.

I moved away from San Diego but enjoy hitting Churchill Cigar Lounge whenever I return for a visit…read more Central location in Old Town with a great selection of cigars (including a separate back room with OpusX and ST Dupont lighters) and an outdoor covered patio with televisions.

What sets it apart is the staff: remembering names and making people feel genuinely welcome, even if you're not a regular. Excellent cigar selection with knowledgeable guidance for newcomers.

Honestly, what's not to love? Incredible view, delicious food & drinks, lovely wait staff, this…read moreplace is an all around win for me. I come pretty regularly living not too far away because the view and Neptunes Crown has me hooked. I tend to bring my out of town guests here and even had my engagement party here. The food is great, I'm a big fan of the lobster roll, fries (with garlic aioli), and edamame. I love that there are fire pits and you can reserve them for a fee that then becomes F&B credit so its a great deal.

Holy moly. The worst burger in the world award for you! I…read morereally have no other words. With how small the menu is and how expensive, you would expect everything to be great. Why a disaster. The gunk that was in the middle of my overcooked burger oh man. A thick patty overcooked with some yellow slop. Disgusted all day by the fact I had more than one bite. After the first bite I attempted to scrape it all off but that was where I realized it was over before it even started. Maybe 4 total bites. Yuck! That purple ube coconut drink was however divine along with my server Seth! Thank you Seth but maybe get me some better food for 40% tip. That was clearly not enjoyed but you are a nice man. Take care. I will not be back.
