Just visited Cigars for Aficionado's on N. Grand. Really nice place. Seemed clean and very welcoming. The owner was very nice and greeted me at the door in a full suit. He then guided me to the Humidor and was very willing to answer any questions and make suggestions. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to find quality smokes at a decent price. read more

Aside from the guy who runs the register, possibly the most unfriendly cigar lounge I've ever visited. Lucky for them they are the only game in town. More bad news is that they close early and are not open on Sundays. read more

There's always a great group of gentlemen sitting in here, smoking their cigars! They have a huge selection of cigars, but my main reason for shopping here is the selections of pipe tobacco. They're very knowledgeable and friendly and helpful! I wanted to buy a couple cigars as a Christmas gift for a friend of mine and they did not disappoint! The guy recommended a couple that my friend was very happy with and was looking forward to enjoying! Thank you! read more

It's a tepid yes because every time I go in there these guys start off the encounter gruffly and as if I was there to buy Dutch Masters. It gets old but they warm up relatively quickly - perhaps warm up is an overstatement that should be replaced with more cordial once they know you're going to buy some decent cigars. Once the transaction begins they are very friendly and offer use of their lounge, which is very comfortable. The other patrons seem to be generally friendly. You sort of have to like this place since it's the only cigar lounge in town, as far as I know. read more

This place is a cigar shop with a lounge. Smoking throughout. Here's the basic layout: The front room is where the cash register and display case. Here you can find the salesman (the guy in the suit, Robert, is awesome), a TV and some chairs. Also, this is where you enter the 300 sq ft walk-in humidor. Follow the hallway and you can either make use of the back door to the parking lot or continue on to other rooms. There is a board room but it is mostly used by the employees. There is a small kitchen with a fridge and microwave. There are drinks, both alcoholic and non, just chip in some money into the bucket. There is usually some kind of snack like cookies or chips too. The lounge is awesome. It is a dark-ish room with an LCD tv and cable. There is a couple of brown leather couches and some chairs as well as a bench along the wall and a round table. The walls are covered with sports memorabilia. The cigar choice is good. Brands like Oliva, Padron, CAO, Rocky Patel, Drew Estate, Aurturo Fuente etc are represented. You can buy singles or boxes but most of the selection is singles. If you don't find something you want, just let the salesman know and he'll see about getting it in the humidor. read more

We are in Springfield for the NBR. Found this cigar lounge hoping to enjoy a nice stick and small talk. The humidor was decent but the few man working behind the counter and the locals left much to be desired. Might want to work on the vibe un your lounge if you want to attract visitors. read more

The standard by which I judge all other cigar shops. I have yet to find a more welcoming shop. The staff are knowledgeable, personable, and kind. The lounge is comfortable and inviting. The regular clientele is accepting, willing to enjoy a cigar and a conversation with someone new. I've found places with a better selection, but never any place I've wanted to visit for the pleasure of staying as much as the cigars. They aren't kidding when they use the tagline: A Destination. read more

The masculine ambiance is impressive, as is the selection of cigars and the prices. The hours are not so impressive though . The place closes at 6 on weeknights. So if you get off work at 5 and get to CFA at 5:15, you only have a few minutes to smoke. My friends and I did that recently: we bought 1 cigar each at 5:15. At about 5:50, a CFA employee reminded us that they close at 6, but not to rush. At 6:00 sharp, he told us to get out. There's no leeway here. read more

Nice place! Nice lounge in back, fair selection, but much less than other shops, but some top brands. Would liked to have had more time here! read more

Very satisfactory place. Selection is okay, good room to smoke in, drinks available by donation
