This place is beyond excellent... Kenny immediately talked me into a Lord Baltimore cigar... I bought it and decided to enjoy it in their lounge while my motorcycle was repaired at Chesapeake Cycles. I bought the Lord Baltimore (and a Cohiba Riviera) from a friendly chap at the register and inquired about the lounge... the cheap cigar I bought was the admission fee. They provided a cut and light station, and once inside, a wealth of leather chairs, tray-tables, and spirits were on offer. The recommended cigar was a delight and the lounge was exactly what I would have wanted it to be. read more

This is my go to spot for fine cigars at the best price in town. Cigars have gotten more and more expensive. There aren't a lot of good $10 smokes that aren't petites anymore. read more

I stopped in a few days ago to get cigar gifts. Staff was very helpful and helped me pick out several nice stogies for my husband. They have a cigar lounge where you can bring your own food and drink in . I'll be back. read more

Great place to hang and relax with a stick. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The selection is huge and they also have a free lounge. I have to mention that I agree ,,, there was a ex employee ther named Jim, he that doesn't know what customer service is. Thank goodness he is not there anymore read more

Davidus Cigars - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Came in with My son for a little weeknight smoke and relaxation session. Was created by a scowl as we entered by a man who looks like a medieval executioner, named Jim apparently. We ask Jim about a cigar in the Hemingway line of Fuentes. He has no idea what we're talking about. And then proceeds to follow us around the humidor and complete silence glowering for some reason. As we begin checking prices against what was available at other cigar bars and on the internet... We realized that we would be paying a 30 to 40% premium on anything we bought. Given that our attendant was adding negative value to the experience... And the lounge was darkened and uninviting, we decided to leave this horrible strip mall nightmare. Within 10 minutes we were walking the beautiful streets of historic downtown Annapolis, enjoying a couple of $15 Cohibas from a convenience store on main Street. Will never go back to this place. They need to learn something about welcoming service, not to mention reasonable prices. read more

If you like cigars, this is the place for you. I usually shop in Georgetown but decided to shop closer to home.

Very great service. They have a large humidor with many of cigars (both high and low prices). The lounge was a nice; a great place to hangout with friends. read more

Listen I went here just before Christmas to buy a couple of special sticks. Sarge, recommended the Rocky Patel Fifty Five Titan. He was so energetic and knowledgeable about the cigar that I thought he was a company rep. Anyway I grabbed a handful and when I got to the register he told me to smoke it alone and to reserve about 2.5 hours because it was that good. Well Sarge, this was one of the best damn cigars I've ever had. Wow!!! From start to nub. Just Wow. I love going to B&Ms that have truly knowledgeable staff able to make recommendations based on what a customer has in his/her hand already. Spot on recommendation Sarge. I can't wait until they get more in stock. Have to order these by the box from now on. read more

Davidus Cigars - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I am somewhat a regular customer of your Annapolis location and, I MUST give an honorable mention to your store manager--Mr. Jackson! He is ALWAYS pleasant, helpful and goes above and BEYOND to help us customers. He is an expert cigar aficionado, and makes tremendous recommendations. I've never once been there without him greeting me and my crew with a smile and a hearty welcome as he does with anyone whom enters the door. The shop is always clean, organized, with a lounge-like feel. Hands down, THE best cigar shop experience in the DMV. read more

Won't be going there again for awhile. Went to watch the game and have a stick. Charles was working and had a five minute very loud argument with customers in the lounge while the game was on. When asked to keep it down he just kept going. Unprofessional to say the least. Also, what happened to staying open until the local teams games were over? read more

Great cigar selection and phenomenal lounge. Whether you're yearning to consume a great book or take in a playoff game, the lounge can and will accommodate. Staff is also extremely knowledgeable and can help you find the perfect stick. read more

I want to like this place. The lounge, the big humidor but I went in there and was followed like I had stolen from there before and they wanted to make sure I didn't do it again. It was my first time in there, my wife let me go cigar shopping while she watched the kids and I wanted to take my time but the guy hovered over me ready to pounce so I bought the bare minimum and got out as quick as possible. Maybe it was my Nantucket red shorts, that usually spells trouble. This place is local, I wanted to move away from JR online and have a cigar place during football season. The search continues. read more

Good selection (Opus X and Diamond Crown) at decent prices. Not great prices, but they do have overhead to pay for. Davidus has a very nice glass enclosed smoking area with plush leather chairs, a pool table, chess, and flat screen TV's. You can bring your own beverages in too. Getting followed into and around the humidor by an employee is a little awkward, though. I like to take my time and look at brands I'm not familar with, but there's always an employee there prentending not to be watching me, but you know he is. Maybe he's there for questions, but it seems to be more of a theft deterrent. I think a better theft deterrent would be placing cameras throughout the room, not making their paying customers feel uncomfortable from being constantly watched. It doesn't make for a very welcoming experience. read more

I stopped in yesterday for the first time and was greeted warmly and given all the assistance I could have asked for. I didn't get the one person's name, but Marv was very helpful and got me all signed up with the rewards program and explained how everything in their shop works especially the smoking lounge. I will definitely be back. read more

Staff 5 stars, selection 4 stars, humidor 1 star. I've seen a number of complaints about staff being present in the humidor with you, and them having an issue with that. If you aren't there for negative reasons then you shouldn't be worried about it, and just know they're there for customer service when you need it. I'm not a soft individual so if you're in my space I'll gladly check you. Moving forward, selection is decent, I've seen better but I've seen much worse, nothing to complain about. My issue is with the humidor, and this I purely preference. It's too moist (sorry) for me. A number of sticks have mold on them or some will say plume but I don't buy into that. I don't believe in handling unwrapped sticks that I do not intend to buy. Most of the unwrapped sticks that I grabbed felt like putty they were so soft. I took them home and left them out overnight to dry them out a bit before adding them to my humidor. Anyways like I said, personal preference. read more

This place has a wide selection and the prices are ok. I'd still rather purchase my cigars online as its a ton cheaper. One thing I hate about davidus is once u walk into their humidor, a member of the staff will follow you like your their to rob the joint. I find this very uncomfortable. They really stay glued to your side and won't allow you to browse their selection in peace. This is how it's been every time I've been. Other than that it's alright read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Large selection with varied prices. Discounted cigar selection as well. Nice and comfortable cigar lounge to relax and enjoy your smoke. read more

DISCLAIMER: I am a former Davidus Annapolis employee. Take that for what it's worth. I'll give this shop second place in my list of cigar shops. Draper's in DC will always be first in my nicotine-stained heart. Selection is generally excellent, although there have been some occasions when the shelves have looked like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard (did I date myself there?) But given that they always seem to have my current favorites (Tatuaje, Illusione and Camacho 07/05) in stock, I'm not one to complain. The lounge is my favorite part of the place. Two TVs, pool table, and a liberal BYOB policy plus a bunch of comfy chairs makes for a nice environment. A previous review talked about the "old boy network." I really haven't seen it to the extent described. Sure, a lot of the regulars know each other and cluster at times, but they've always been welcoming to new folks who are ready to engage. About the "stalking in the humidor." It's company policy for tobacconists to accompany customers into the humidor to provide assistance. Nothing more or less, it's not primarily a loss prevention procedure. I've been yelled and cursed at and berated for doing it, but some people are a-holes, what can I say? The ethic is customer service, and that means being ready to provide answers or suggestions, or just to show a customer where a cigar is on the shelves. In my experience, this is probably the best cigar shop in Annapolis. read more

I am a frequent traveler and cigar aficionado. This is what I would call a great cigar shop. Outstanding selection with everything from high-end cigars to medium-range cigars to boutique cigars. A phenomenal lounge with plenty of space to stretch out. Free Wi-Fi! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely a return is in order. read more

I stopped in this store while checking out the area for the weekend in preparation to move out this way. Right from the start the guys at the shop were friendly and helpful. I stuck around for a few hours, smoked a couple cigars and had some good conversation with the local fellas. I will definitely become a regular when I'm settled in out here. read more

Convenient location near the mall, with ample parking. Selection is excellent, and includes house brands (named after Civil War battles) that are quite good and reasonably priced. I've never used the lounge but it seems like a chill hang out place. I think the staff must have cut back on their behavior after some of the earlier reviews, because I have never been followed around in the humidor -- usually someone will just pop their head in and ask if I need help, but doesn't press it if I want to wander around. I will say that the staff never seems very excited to serve you if you're just buying a couple of sticks to go. Once I was behind a guy who dropped almost $2000 on Davidoff boxes, so I assume that's who they roll out the red carpet for. They have a somewhat insulting reward program that would require you to spend like $10000 to get a $100 gift card. read more

Nice relaxing spot! I haven't been here in a while but the staff are great. From the moment I came in the door they treated me like star. Great deals with cigars and a large selection. I will be back soon.. read more

I have been a loyal customer of this establishment for the last couple of years. But no more. I've always been able to get my cigars cheaper through other suppliers. But a hometown store with personal service has been appealing. Until their service directly failed to provide the customer (me) with the best possible outcome. If you like a business that is customer centric and tries to do right by the customer, then Davidus Cigars is DEFINITELY NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU TO SHOP! read more

I was looking for a cigar shop that was close to me and this one came up, the shop also opens at 10:00 which is great because I didn't want to wait until 11:00 for other shops to open. They have a great selection and the staff is very friendly. I will definitely recommend this place to other cigar lovers. I can't wait to go there again. read more

OVERALL, this shop has the great selection of cigars and the cheapest prices in the area. The display in the humidor is a little hard to see the prices, and I HATE the way the staff hounds you like you are stealing. At one point this staffer was so close to my rear I was worried! The lounge is clean and decent size, the people are decent but I did feel like another poster but there is a private feel to the lounge. Overall I do not know, but this place is missing something. Maybe it is the commercial feel, maybe it is the guys in the lounge, maybe it is the staff, but this place is missing a SOUL that makes the other shops in the area so great to hang at. It just feels too corporate or commercial. Great place to buy in bulk (still cheaper online, but cheapest in area), but I would prefer to puff in other local locations. Also, they do not carry Hookahs....place is very busy though and located in the old Highs building across from the Annapolis Mall. read more

There are two reasons I am giving Davidus Cigars of Annapolis 1 star. The first is because they have a decent selection, not the best (even in the area) but decent. The second is because that is the lowest rating you can give. Out of my two reasons it is mainly the latter. The reason I have such a bad taste in my mouth for this place is 1000% because of the staff. Every time I have gone in, I have been hounded and followed around the entire time by the rude staff to where I have felt uncomfortable, gotten anxiety, and felt so rushed that I have ended up leaving without what I came for on more than one occasion. I have spoken to managers who have apologized on their staff's behalf, and promised me it would not happen again, just for it to happen again a day later. I would not recommend this place to anyone, spend your money somewhere else where you are treated like a real customer and not a thief. I have spent over $400 in cigars there and I regret it so much. read more

dave ,sarge and mr jackson run the annapolis location across from the mall they know their cigars; always clean; great group of regulars; including a guy named dennis murphey; two big TV,s and you can bring a couple of your own beverages i visit some of their other stores when traveling and the are almost as nice..tom lindsay read more
