Nathaniel G.

Chill shop, very comfy hangout spot. Owner takes the time to interact with each guest and make them feel at home.

My haul today! Thx Gregg

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.

Great variety of quality sticks and excellent input from staff. Bonus that they offer a lounge to enjoy your latest purchase. I'm a fan and will be back every time I'm in town. Cheers CG and thank you for the experience!!!

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.

My family and I live nearby and finally decided to check this place out. When you walk in, you head…read moreup the stairs and suddenly you're standing in a massive humidor with enough cigar options to make even the most decisive person question their entire identity. 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!

The place definetly has a vast selection of cigars to choose from and for a reasonable price. The lounge itself has a perfect atmosphere, plenty of places to sit, pool table, and card table. It also has a stocked bar. We had the place to ourselves and spent the better part of three hours in there and didn't even notice. If you smoke and find yourself in that part of town or nearby you should definitely stop by. - Mr.Narrwahl

I walked in and they have a cigar room that looked stacked with a wide variety in it and the place was packed with all kinds of alcohol instead of th usual snacks and the items which I like. Walking in the guy behind the counter wasn't interested any small talk which, again, I can live with. We found some Mexican soda which was overpriced but fine. I checked out the beer selection and they had a large variety of Burgeon Beer which I was excited about. Here is where it went south. I took it all up to the counter and the rude man rang it up to the tune of $55. I asked how in the world it could be that much and he showed my the price tags, which I missed on the beers, $18.99 and $21.99 for 4 packs of beer! These are overpriced at $15/ 4 pack and these guys took it to the next level. Again, overpriced and rude but it's beautiful day and I paid and took my stuff. But don't worry, when I got home and I took it out of the bag the beers cans were dusty, maybe even dirty, and I checked the cans then their canned dates were almost a year ago! So... nice selection, terrible service, predatory pricing and an inferior product. I cannot warn you enough about this stain of a store on our small town of South O. 1 Star and that's being generous.

Excellent Arturo Fuente selection along with others. I chose Bolivar. Excellent but smooth for a…read moredarkie

We stopped here as part of my husband's birthday celebration, and it became the unexpected highlight of his entire day. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck that perfect balance. Cassy enough to feel special yet welcoming enough that we immediately felt at home. The staff greeted us like regulars even though it was our first visit, taking genuine interest in helping my husband find the perfect birthday cigar. Speaking of cigars, their selection is outstanding. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer, they have something for every palate and budget. The staff's knowledge was impressive without being intimidating. They guided us through options with patience and enthusiasm. What really sets Ron'devu apart is the vibe. It's the kind of place where strangers become friends over shared recommendations, where the conversation flows as smoothly as the drinks, and where time seems to slow down in the best possible way. 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.
