If you're in downtown Boise, this is THE place for premium cigars! To preface, I am a very…read moreoccasional occasional enjoyer of cigars... certainly no aficionado. However, this location is absolutely perfect everyone, from novices (such as myself) all the way up to the most discerning cigar smokers. To start, the walk-in humidor is very large and is well-stocked with an exceptional variety of cigars at every price point. Sturman's carries a diverse selection from top luxury brands such as Padrón, Perdomo, Dunbarton, Oliva, Ashton, and SO much more. Additionally, Sturman's has a great selection of affordable cigars for those on a tight budget. I must stress that all the cigars here, from individual sticks to full boxes, are VERY well-priced. Outside of cigars, the shop also has a solid selection of premium pipe tobacco. Leaving the humidor, the shop carries a choice selection of cigar and pipe hardware as well as accessories including lighters, cutters, punches, humidifiers, luxury humidors, ashtrays, handcrafted pipes, and so much more. Just like their cigar selection, Sturman's catalogue of accessories is highly diverse, ranging from affordable (but high-quality) options all the way up to premium hardware brands such as Xikar. Trust me, for all of your cigar needs, Sturman's is the spot to choose. While not as large as the lounges at the Sturman's locations in Eagle or Garden City, the lounge at the downtown location is still excellent. The indoor seating area is very comfortable. The four, leather chairs are comfy and the indoor seating area is extremely quiet, well air-conditioned, and equipped with fans and air purifiers making the overall smoking experience very pleasurable and relaxing. No lingering smoke here! On top of that, there's an outdoor seating area at the entrance of the shop with several cushioned chairs and a large ashtray for those who'd prefer to be outside. Lastly, it would be crime not to mention the store's desk clerk and tobacconist, Lance. Lance is incredibly friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable about cigars and hardware. I asked him what he would personally recommend for a medium to full body Maduro that wasn't too spicy or peppery. He immediately pointed me in the direction of the Leaf by Oscar Cigars, specifically in the 5 x 50 robusto size. This cigar was absolutely delectable and is most definitely my new favorite. Pairing this delicious cigar with the comfortable lounge made my time at Sturman's a delight! Lance was a lovely person to talk to while I was there and his enthusiastic dedication customer service elevated my already incredible experience. Whether you are looking for a quick stop for supplies or a welcoming place to relax and smoke a fine cigar, I can't recommend the Sturman's Smoke Shop in downtown Boise enough!

Always a pleasure to visit and chat with Lance. Exceptional…read moreselection with service. Sturman's is a must see when visiting Boise.

I visited Tobacco Connection around 1 PM on August 1 and noticed a vendor set up on the sidewalk in…read morefront of the store. I asked how long the vendor had been there, and the man said approximately two hours. I also learned that he didn't speak English. A female employee who was nearby then made an inappropriate comment, saying she wouldn't tell any white men because he might try to get him deported. I found this comment to be extremely rude and unacceptable. I told her that and explained I would report her to her manager. She responded that her manager was present and that she didn't seem to have a problem with her comment, which I found particularly concerning. Tobacco Connection needs to invest more in employee training to ensure their staff provides respectful customer service instead of making racist remarks in condoning illegal immigration.
