I randomly walked into Cigars By Chivas with a friend (visiting California), and it ended up turning into a fantastic evening. The ownership strives to make the experience very relaxed and enjoyable. It is evident in the quality of the people who frequent here. If you are looking for a place with a large variety of cigars and respectful company, then stop by Cigars By Chivas in Pasadena! I will definitely be back! read more

We went to an AVO event which was amazing and classy. They have a great humidor and the AVO rep was very helpful in finding some new cigars to try. Wonderful ambience, decent scotch and plenty of fellowship with other cigar afficianados! read more

Nice selection of cigars with plenty of seats to chill. However the cashier was a douche gave my friend and I attitude. Service is everything when it comes to any business and clearly they need to work on that. read more

This story I'm about to tell you is true. I will try to keep it short for the readers sake. My friend and I have been to Chivas many times. The staff was always friendly and helped us with any cigar questions we had. Chivas has a pretty good selection to chose from and their prices are good as well. If you spend at least 10 bucks here they invite you to stay and smoke your cigar there in the shop. While you smoke they have TVs for you to watch or chess boards so you can play a game of chess. On this particular day my friend and I both bought some cigars and were about to leave when a couple of older Italian guys asked if we wanted to play them at a game of chess. Since we had no where to be at the time we decided to play. Once seated these tricky older men talked us in to playing for money. At the time we had no cash on us. Well after only ten minutes my friend and I had both been beat. We told them we had no money and in a flash a bunch of other Italians came from out of thin air, dragged us around back and beat the daylights out of us. OK so most of this story is false. Chivas is a cool shop, the staff is great, you can watch TV and play chess, and my friend and I did get out butts handed to us by two older gentleman in a game of chess. No we did not play for money and I'm not even sure if they were Italian. I just wanted my story to sound better. Sorry for leading you all on. read more

Great cigars by a great owner. This place is a great place to get away from people and relax with like minded people. Prices for cigars are also reasonable. read more

I love this place! It quite, stylish and unforgettable. Working personal is really friendly.

Best location to smoke a cigar in Old town Pasadena. Very professional, great store environment and great selection of cigars. One of my favorite stores in Old Town read more

Small selection of smokes but all high end. Extremely overpriced so I suppose it's paying the rent. Small lounge. Better places around.

I've stepped in here a few times to purchase cigars, parking can be a pain but then again it is close to old town. I've recently starting looking at nicer cigar cutters and torches, I've finally decided on going with some Xikar pieces. I was exciting to see the Xikar display case right next to the humidor, unfortunately the pricing was way over what Xikar shows on their website. I was shocked that a 40.00 lighter was listed at 69.99! Cigars seemed pricier than other locations I've been to but I'm sure you'll find something in your budget. I wouldn't go out of my way to shop here. I was so disappointed I expected to walk in there and purchase a nice Xikar Cutter and lighter, instead I left with nothing and will take my hard earned cash to another more reasonably priced establishment. read more

Wow. What can I say? Sunday afternoon, cigars, and wife is at the nail salon. So true: story last sunday I walk in and yes I've been there several times but this last time just really made me want to be back there all the time. So anyways, the gentleman that works, Erny, there striked a conversation with me and boy we could not stop. We talked about Politics, Sports, History, we even sang some "Blue Majic" ... Oldies for those of you who know not what real music is.. By far I believe that if this employee can correct me in history what else can this guy do. (I am a history teacher @ CSU, LA) Best thing that happened too, was we started to sing some oldies. I mean WHO LISTENS TO OLDIES ANYMORE!!! HOW AWSOME!!! and he is only 22. So if I were to ever recommend a shop it would definitly have to be Cigars By Chivas. Thank You Anto For having Intelectual employees, unfortunatly you do not see this as much now-a-days. read more

Cool cigar bar in Old Town Pasadena. The cigar selection is quite good and prices are reasonable. Lounge area is comfortable. Service is good. Definitely a good option for a smoke in downtown Pasadena. read more

Convenient location in Old Pasadena. Excellent selection of cigars. Perfect service and OK atmosphere

I just had a cigar with my husband at Cigars By Chivas, and it was an absolutely flawless experience. The humidor was kept at perfect humidity and the cigars were nothing short of excellent. We had a fantastic evening and Cigars By Chivas was an awesome night cap. The owner Anto is a true cigar aficionado, and the ambiance was calm, relaxed, with even a touch of romantic. Will definitely be going back, its the place to be in Pasadena. read more

Fantastic cigar lounge. Lots of choices and more than anything, the environment is great. The owner is there and loves to meet new customers. My first time there he treated me amazingly. I will for sure go back and soon. read more

It's hard to find a good cigar shop in Pasadena. My husband and I came across this place one day when we were hanging out at Rocco's. We decided to come in on a Friday night a few weeks ago after dinner and weren't too impressed. I'm not a huge cigar smoker, but will have one every now and then. The selection is pretty good, however a tad pricey. I guess that comes with the location. I feel like the place lacks ambiance and charm. When we walked in, we were the only ones in there. None of the ash trays had been emptied out from prior customers. I'm not sure why they have carpet if smoke will absorb it with noticeable burn marks. It's completely silent in there. I'm not asking for a DJ or anything, but even if it's extremely low, some background music or noise would be better. It was super eerie just sitting there in total silence. The guy who helped us didn't seem too attentive. We ordered a few sodas, as they don't sell alcohol (boo!) and sat around and smoked a few more stogies. I had to use the bathroom, and the guy told me I had to go across the street and use it and a restaurant. Not cool. I guess it's an okay place to stop by, have a cigar and leave. I don't see that as a place I would hang out for more than 20 minutes. read more

Very kind and peaceful and warm place. I loved it and will frequent it often. Very knowledgeable and fun place (and OWNER) A GREAT selection of cigars and good accessories. The Atmosphere is fun and inviting. the couch's are soft and sit able. read more

Greate place to sit, have a ciggar and drink wiskey or a cold glass coke! loyal customer of this store.

Wonderful lounge with a decent selection of cigars. Price is decent, but worth it as the atmosphere is great. Service is awesome as the owner and employees are very welcoming and helpful. Will be coming back for more! read more

I have been to this store a half dozen times and this last visit was...well, my last. The cigars are always rancid, over priced, the customer service is anything but professional or courtious. Also, they could use a better ventilation system to clean the nasty ashtrash smell from of the indoor air. I am surprised that cigar smokers think this place is worthy of a higher score. If so, well, you must not know your stogie. There are better cigar shops around the area that offer a more enjoyable cigar experience. This is not one of them! read more

This is the cutest cigar shop I've ever been to. It is not only nice in decor but it is well kept inside and out. This shop has a very spacious and large humidifier room. I personally am all about being comfortable in a well kept lounging area and this is it. Love how it's pretty and appealing to the eyes. read more

i thought the guy did a stupendous job! granted, i know nothing about cigars, but i wanted to gift my ever deserving bro-in-law with some quality tobaccy. he walked me through a few different options, always staying mindful of my budget. yes, the smoke as you walk in is overpowering, but its really not so bad within the humidifer, which is where i went to seek refuge. this nice mist comes out every so often to coat the cigars. i ended up spending about $40 on my bro in law, and i know he enjoyed them with his buddies. the man was nice enough to give me a fancy box and bag! thank you sirs of cigars by chivas! read more

Nice spot to lounge when your in the hustle of Old P. Stepped in looking for the Arturo Fuentes Anejo #77. All the Anejos flew off the shelves at my local spot. They had a good assortment with a noticeable mark up. But that's the way supply and demand works. I would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

I really liked this place, it was a really chill spot to just kick back, watch some sports on their big comfy chairs and take a couple cigar hits.. and im a girl, i can only imagine how much guys like this place.. read more

The lounge is nice, humidor has average options, you'll find something there. The guy working there had really poor customer service skills... He didn't say anything when he went into the humidor, more like watching over us? Not sure I'd ever go back, way too many other options. By the way, the person I'm referring to is not the owner, probably some guy who just needs extra hours. The prices are typical for a cigar lounge. read more

This is a very nice place to relax and enjoy a cigar. The owner Mr. Kamarian is very knowledgable and helpful. It's the place to go when your in the Pasadena area. read more

Had a great time at CIgar By Chivas, stopped by after enjoying UCLA kick Virginia's ass this past Saturday at the Rose Bowl. Chivas humidor has a solid selection of quality sticks, prices are a bit high but this is typical considering the location. My buddys and i were welcomed in with warm hospitality, cool crowd of guys hanging out for a smoke. I'll definitely return when i'm in Pasadena again. read more

This is a great place to sit and smoke a cigar. The inside has comfortable chairs, and they have a good selection of cigars! They have friendly service too! read more

Fairly good selection with an nice area to sit and enjoy your smoke.

I recently moved from L.A. and the thing I will miss the most is this club--seriously. Whether your're new to cigars or an expert you'll find what you want here. One of the best cigar clubs I've ever been to, with some of the best cigars you'll find. Can be a bit pricey if, like me, you only want the best, but quality isn't cheap. But even if you prefer a lower-end cigar you can still enjoy the high-end atmosphere of what truly is a special spot. Bring your best friends or make new ones. The entire staff are incredibly knowledgable and friendly. They'll help you find what you're looking for, even if you don't know what that is. I've brought some my most knowledgable cigar aficionados here and they've all been impressed. This is the one, so stop looking and head to this jewel. read more

This place has an excellent selection of cigars, and the people are always great. I came here the other night and left my wallet. When I returned, the patrons were holding on to it for me. I have been here before, and will definitely be returning. read more

Good selection and high quality cigars and accessories. The workers know their product and are friendly. Prices are reasonable. should have some more seats. read more

I love this place, it's in old town Pasadena, lots of restaurants around to have lunch or dinner and have a cigar afterwards. Awesome place to just chill with a cigar and drink.. Great atmosphere, very professional. Highly recomended. They dont sell alchohol but you may bring your own botlle. Excellent cigar selection as well. read more

The customer service here is great, Evan was extremely helpful and made our experience here very enjoyable.

Nice place to chill and enjoy a good cigar. Cigar prices are a bit high but worth it due to the atmosphere and location. read more

Cigars By Chivas - Enjoying this stick today - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Pasadena, California

My boss just got a box here so I'm sure I'll be around a lot! Definitely one of my favorite cigar shops. The owner, Anto, is always around and extremely friendly and helpful. My favorite part of any cigar bar however, besides the sticks in the humidor, are the people. There is always an awesome group inside. It really feels like I'm walking into Cheers every time! read more

Nice and comfortable cigar lounge. You will find a nice and relaxed environment here. The cigars are over priced, yes, but you are paying for the atmosphere, convenience, location and fun conversation. Good place to hang out once in a while and yes you must buy a cigar here to smoke it inside but let's support this type of establishment. read more

I just ran in to grab a couple sticks to smoke with friends at their home. They had a small walk in humidor that was well stocked. Its downtown Pasadena pricing which was no surprise. The gentlemen there was very pleasant and asked if we had questions, we did not. Grabbed some sticks and rung out. The place looked nice, clean and well organized. Next time in town I hope to enjoy the lounge. read more

First of all, I don't typically write reviews, just read em. I was so impressed with the level of service this place has that I felt compelled to let Yelpers know about the tremendous level of service these guys have. I don't smoke cigars... why the heck did I go in here? I am new to the area and was looking to find a place to buy some hookah supplies... It was a long shot, but I figured I would pop in and check anyways. Little did I know, this place was a super classy cigar shop with a very sharp looking staff and beautiful cigar displays and lots of cozy chairs. It was obvious there were no hookah supplies here. I ask the gentleman working the front desk if he could point me towards a place where I could get some hookah tobacco. He whipped out his iPhone and found me a place, called it to make sure they're open and made sure they had what I was looking for... then he gave me directions... I was blown away! Wow! You did all that for me? Even though you well know I won't buy anything? It is the little things like this that make all the difference. Thank you. read more

Great smokes, love the seating area, everyone is super friendly. When in Pasadena I wouldn't go anywhere else

Good little spot with access to good eateries. Real comfortable with tv to watch. Nice little place to hangout and smoke some cigars.
