This is my go to shop Miss Pam and her staff are the best. Hands down best cigar shop in New York maybe even the Northeast. The selection is insane I think it's the biggest humidor in the capital region. They have a great many cigars at a good value and some crazy high end ones that are a once in a life time find. The lounge is great and friendly and the surrounding plaza has many great food and drink options. read more

Great selection, rarely do they not have a brand or size im looking for. Humidor is kept clean and organized. This is my go to retail store in the area. I prefer this over the one in EG. Downsides are: I really wish they'd update their air filtration and lounge. The best shops I've visited in the country allow you to go buy some sticks without "having" to stink like smoke. Is what it is though, I get it. They also allow cigarette smoking. Nothing worse than trying to enjoy premium tobacco with people ripping darts. Pricing is on the high end. You can definitely pay cheaper online, with delivery fees. Overall, worth it. read more

Cool place, nice selection. However, a woman who I believe was the owner was extremely rude, accusatory, and confrontational after I took a pic of a brand I wanted to try later. Accused me of "price shopping" or being a competitor. Didn't see any signs that wasn't allowed nor told there was a sign, nor have I ever been treated that way going to cigar shops for a decade. Reading other reviews, seems this same person treats others poorly. I will never taking my business elsewhere. read more

The best tobacconist in the area. Staff is very outgoing and friendly. Great selection knowledgeable staff helps makes trying new cigars very easy. read more

I stopped in, was looking around and talking with person working and he suggested I try their home brand. Highly recommend you do. Good smoke great draw. Glad I bought 4 for the rest of my vacation. read more

Probably my husband's favorite tobacco shop, there are lots of varieties of loose tobacco and pipes to peruse, the lounge is small but cozy, and the staff is SO nice. The walk in humidor has a definite mildew smell when you first walk in - I'm suffering from it today. That being said, prices are fair and selection is pretty good. read more

Edleez Tobacco - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Albany, New York

I really like Edleez. It's like a wonderland for tobacco afficionados, full of great tobacco modalities and gadgets. And their staff is always friendly. They've got a great selection of everything you need, whether you smoke cigarettes, roll your own, smoke a pipe, cigars -- even hookah. There's a very large selection of tobacco of various sorts. You're welcome to hang out in the shop and enjoy a smoke. The humidor is large and well-stocked. There's often European football or rugby playing on the TV. The staff is knowledgeable about their products and can make recommendations if you're looking for something in particular or looking for a gift. read more

Highly reccomended for aficionados!!! read more

Edleez has been a part of the Albany community for almost four decades. Family owned with a staff that is knowledgeable and friendly, it's also one of the only shops in the state that carry TAA exclusives. It is without a doubt the best cigar shop in the area! read more

Best cigar store around. Love the selection and the customers. Can't wait till we can get back there.

I come here to buy my tobacco so I can roll my own cigarettes. The cost me about $32 a carton... Staff is always friendly and willing to help you whenever you need. + for every $100 you spend you get a 5 dollar gift card... i dont see camel or newport offering anything like this read more

A little pricey, but I dig the joint.

Believe me I am a fan of Edleez. To me their product is a lot more fresh than Habana's, but they lack the selection (although it is probably close). I also love that they support other local businesses, and churches. My one beef is this: whenever I go into Habana looking for a particular cigar, and they don't have it, I find it difficult for them to give me a selection that's similar. Many times the young guy who works the counter has called in the older gentleman who runs the store, and he has been helpful, but doesn't seem to know too much about the blending process. I do give these guys credit for their general knowledge of tobacco however. 4 stars is fair, I want to give 3 based on service, but their selection and pricing for a smaller ship is outstanding, plus their sidewalk sale deals on Saturday are great. read more

Friendliest cigar shop I have found in capital region. Also prices seem to be the best.

This is a cool place to shop if you like to be made fun of. I had never been there before and asked if they sold AVO cigars. They said yes and I asked where they were? Two employees then made jokes about somewhere outside of the store and I should have left. I only purchased them because I had short time to shop and wanted to treat my friends. I will never, repeat never, go back! read more

Amazing selection of fine cigars. The prices are actually mainstream. Here are the problems with the shop: 1.) The staff is not helpful 2.) The old guy with the Santa beard smoking the pipe looks at you as if you're a criminal. 3.) The smoking lounge is rather uncomfortable and small. On the brighter side: The old woman that owns the place is a notary public and doesn't charge. Bless her heart may she live until 120. read more

Best prices in the capital region hands down. Also everybody here is named Mike and very friendly. It's also located in Stuyvesant plaza so it neighbors with a ton of other great local shops. read more

One employee is great and very knowledgable, always helping us out with trying new things. However the owner is quite possibly the biggest jerk I've ever met in my life. The selection is mediocre and the prices are a little higher than average. I went in today looking for a cheaper cigar for a small celebration and the owner grunted at me when I asked a question. There's much better cigar shops in the area that I would go to before dealing with him again. read more

Hands down the best cigar shop in the Capital Region and one of the very best in the state. Personable staff with a wealth of knowledge and real passion for the industry. Outstanding selection, from big brands to esoteric gems and fair prices for everything (and a rewards program!) . A one-stop destination for pipe smokers, too - tons of bulk and tin tobaccos, amazing pipes, loads of accessories. Always love coming here! read more

Have Been shopping here for about 3 years. I bought a humidor from these folks that i have loved. Recently however i was having issues keeping the humidity where it needed to be so i asked if they could take a look for me. Not only did they take a look at it they replaced the defective part for me at no cost( it was the hygrometer). Great service would recommended them to anyone looking for a local cigar shop. read more

Down right rude. I am an avid cigar smoker and have shopped here many times. Every time I buy cigars here I receive the same rude service. No greeting, minimal help, and the staff consistently seems unhappy that I am in the store spending money. All of the cigars are overpriced and I am constantly reminded by whoever is checking me out that the store has many cameras to prevent theft.... as if I would steal something. For the same cigars at more reasonable prices and staff that is happy to help you go to Habana on Central Ave, that is where I will be from now on. read more
