I've been to several lounges but for my money this lounge measures up to all the (great ones) Customer service is second to none, both Anjal and Danny are highly knowledgeable about tobacco. I originally came here shopping for a new humidor and these guys taught me much more than expected, plus the selection really blew me away from pipes like my dad use to smoke to cigar cutters, lighter, they even have supplies for people who Vape. The CIGAR selection was overwhelming, I must have shopped in the humidor for 45 plus minutes, they covered all categories from your finest smoke to your everyday cigar and the prices are extremely competitive. Not often do I give a 5 star review but they really took care of me at Embassy. read more

Guy that runs this place is ridiculous. Like most of the legitimate (unlike all the members who leave fake positive reviews) reviews state... the store is oozing with snobbery and uneasy cockiness. In the 8 minutes I was taking a look around he irritatingly harrased me about 3 or 4 times despite telling him I was fine and was looking at the selection. I'm well versed in cigars and do not need someone holding my hand. I was looking to pick up a box for a trip and he walked in the last time and said "We look with our eyes, not with our hands. If any cigars get messed up we're going to have some problems." I guess borderline threatening people is an acceptable way to operate a busienss. One day someone may not take it so well. Taking a look at a cigar box lid isn't going to damage anything. It's no wonder all the sticks are covered in dust, cracking, and the place was empty. Good riddance. read more

Embassy cigars has a large variety of cigars, The owner and staff have helped me pick a few different types when I was first getting into cigars, I took plenty of time looking through all of their selection multiple times and not once did I feel rushed by them. Not only did they educate me on the different flavor profiles and types but also recommended many great ones for me to try based on me describing what I may or may not like in terms of flavor and taste. Their lounge is great to kick back and enjoy a cigar on their couches, the back lounge area has three tv's. Great place to unwind. Of course prices are very reasonable. You can come here for all your accessory needs as well. This is my go to spot for cigars. read more

Stopped by here after work. It's a nice cigar lounge in the area. The cigar selection is very nice; they have a few very premium cigars in the humidor. The guy working at the time was friendly and helped out with a recommendation based on my preferences. read more

Awesome Setting, amazing people. Brought brother and Nephew here for birthday and induction into the marines. All the guys gave a great send off and the show of respect for volunteering for the military was appropriate and touching. read more

Awesome atmosphere, great service and great selection! I travel from work all over SoCal to meet clients and have been in many lounges but none with this selection and if they dont have they'll get it for you. Been to an event that they hosted for one of the lines they carry and it was a blast! always good to know the history of what your smoking and meet the reps! read more

Best cigar shop in OC. Owner Anjal know his sticks hands down and after a few visits can pick you out something that you will always enjoy. Great place to network in the lounge and always has events and cigar deals available. read more

I started this Yelp account a long time ago to help me in finding awesome businesses to be a patron of. I never once wrote any reviews because, to be honest, I just don't like to. However, because of the experience I had today with Embassy Cigars, I had to write this. I've been looking for a nice cigar lounge to hang out and buy cigars from in OC. When I came across Embassy on Groupon.com I decided to purchase a Groupon. I was excited reading about their large selection of cigars, the nice cigar lounge, and great customer service here on Yelp. I called them the day I purchased the Groupon and asked if they had any Kuba Maduros in stock and was told that they normally don't stock them but I could place an order for a full box if I wanted to. I said awesome and told them I would call back later when I was running lower on my current stash. Two weeks before the expiration date (and with 10 cigars left), I called and asked if I could place an order and redeem my Groupon and was told that I could ONLY talk to Anjal for Groupon deals and that he wasn't in. I called back the next day and was told Anjal still wasn't in. I called a week later and asked for Anjal, and again, he wasn't in. I told the gentleman on the phone that I would really like to redeem my Groupon before it expires and that I would like to place an order for a box of cigars. The gentleman took down my name and number and told me that Anjal would call as soon as he got in. A few days later I still get no call so I decided to drive down there in person on the last day of the Groupon deal (today). I told the gentleman at the counter that I called a few times and was told that Anjal would call me back but he never did. He tells me that Anjal told him to tell all customers that yesterday was the last day to redeem Groupons and that I couldn't use it today. I told the gentleman again that I called a few times and couldn't get a hold of Anjal and I would really like to redeem my Groupon. He calls Anjal, I'm assuming to his personal cell phone, and it goes to voicemail. Immediately after he hangs up, Anjal calls him right back (which I wish he could've done for me whenever it is he got in). The gentleman tells him my story and then gets a response and hangs up. He then tells me "I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do for you." I said to him "I've been trying to get a hold of Anjal, who is the ONLY person that I could talk to for this Groupon deal and then waited for him to call me back and he never did. Now I have this Groupon I can't even use because you guys have poor customer service?" He told me "I'm sorry, I just got off the phone with Anjal and he said he can't help you." I said thanks and walked out. In the car I called their other location in Anaheim Hills and told them the same story. I asked if there was anyone there that I could talk to that could help me. I was told that the person in charge there was in India and I had to speak to Anjal. I said nevermind, thanked the gentleman on the phone, and hung up. Luckily, Groupon's customer service is what it's supposed to be...GOOD, and refunded my money back. It is just absolutely ridiculous that only ONE person can redeem customers' Groupons and that I HAD to order on HIS schedule. Why couldn't any of his other employees do it? On top of that, I never got a call back, and when I showed up in person to tell them what happened, they WOULDN'T make things right. I'm glad that everyone else had a great experience here. It would be an experience that I will never enjoy because I would never step foot in this place again. It makes me sad that my very first review had to be a negative one. I hope no one else gets treated this way. read more

Went in and the guy who runs it is a jerk. Basically told me to leave because I was taking up his time and he had to get back to work(isn't it his job to help me figure out what I want?!) there wasn't even anyone there besides me to make him to busy to help me. He has lost all my business and my friends. He knows basic stuff about what he sells but not enough. read more

First time visiting. Place was empty, didnt even get greeted, the Rocky Patel look alike was too busy on his computer and then told me I had to leave because my daughter was underage... Way to lose potential business, exercise common sense... read more

Nice place to hang out. Great seats, a big TV and free wifi. On certain days you may be the only person there, so if you want some peace and quiet to yourself, this is a place to go. read more

Wow was here in 2016 Amazing friendly staff. GREAT PRICES I tried the Java Mint for the first time. I love it. This place is beautiful inside they have big Led screens nd Lounge Chairs. read more

Here's the truth....because in life that's all there is: There are 2 locations of course...Anaheim Hills and Brea.Anjal runs the Brea store,Gary operates Anaheim Hills.I have lived in the Anaheim Hills area since 2005 and I have been a customer since that time. 1.These two gentlemen are brother-in-laws ...they run an outstanding business.! 2.Their employees are eager,friendly and care about you and what you smoke. 3.I have seen their prices fluctuate over the past 7 years through this challenging economy in the USA...and I must say their pricing is right on ,considering their vast inventory! 4.I am a LONG TIME CATALOG cigar buyer for at least 15 years and always came to Embassy for my "Onesies" and "Twosies" because Gary and Anjal have QUALITY,FRESHNESS, and VARIETY!!! 5.I am a customer for life....these guys are excellent TOBACCANISTS!...I can say so because I'm in their shops more than 3-4 times a week consistently for many years now. If they dont have a certain brand OR if they have the brand, but not the size you want ,they can get it at a reasonable price so you are happy and they can make a profit...so I hope you come down and become a customer.I have learned alot and have been introduced to many cigars that I would have never smoked. I cant remember the last time I had to order from a catalog!!! So please, support these guys,they treat you like family!! ...Don't pay attention to the negative reviews here.... Cheers! Don Rodriguez,Placentia,Ca. read more

Loved the selection, was recommended a great cigar by My Father. I definitely recommend this cigar shop!

I used to be in cigar business and am a firm believer in supporting local brick and mortar shops in this age of the internet - particularly in California where cigars are taxed to death. But I have to voice a fair warning to those to visit Embassy Cigars in Brea: buyer beware. Most cigar smokers are just trying to get positive recommendations and be given honest information. They often have access to internet on their smart phones, but most are polite and well mannered to not "google" things someone says in conversation. In the case of the owner of Embassy, have your phone ready. Selection in the store's humidor is solid. No complaints. Pricing is Southern California high. Taxes are heavy in this state on tobacco, so expect to pay the price accordingly. Try not to ask the owner for a recommendation as some of the information he gives out is categorically false. And that is my only issue with the store. People expect information that is correct. For their money, they should be provided recommendations that are not only fair, but more importantly, informative. You - the proprietor of Embassy Cigars - are in the business. Joe Businessman is not. Just wants a nice smoke. My hope is the owner reads this Yelp review and makes an effort to education himself more on cigars and not just recycle myths or untruths. Hope is all we have, and I cling to it daily. read more

Great selection, helpful staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. I really love it, I just wish I had the cash to shop here more often.

Anjal at Embassy Cigars delivers rock star customer service! Always well taken care of here. There is a semi-annoying gent that works here (he just talks way too much) and I try to keep away from him when I go. Awesome selection of cigars and so happy they are expanding! Great for their biz! Very classy. read more

Daniel is welcoming and knowledgable. I didn't really know what I was looking for, so he narrowed down my choices with some great advice. The shop was well kept and had a great selection. Service was excellent! read more

This place has a great assortment of cigars and accessories. I initially had zero knowledge of cigars- other than I like to smoke them occasionally. I came here in October '14 to buy a humidor for my boyfriend for his birthday because we were both gradually more interested. The owner was extremely helpful and explained everything to me. Because of him I got a great humidor and cigars to start with and he even set up the humidor for me. We were very appreciative of this, love the humidor, and will continue to give this place our business. read more

Great selection, fair prices and Great advice.

This place is great, warm inviting and a great place to relax and unwind. The staff is friendly, funny and engaging if you want to talk, and if you don't just chill and listen. Some of the regulars are very intriguing. Overall, very nice place and a great atmosphere. read more

Been coming here for some time. Not a regular, but anytime I need a cigar I know where I'm headed. Anjal is always very friendly and welcoming, he'll walk with me and ask what I'm looking for and provide incite and suggestions. He helped my fiancée surprise me with an awesome humidor. He knows his cigars and has turned me onto some great ones. read more

The owner and manager, Anjal is very knowledgeable. Their prices are decent and their selection is larger than any other lounge or shop I've seen. I'd say the size of the humidor in the brea lounge is three times the normal size you see in other shops. Anjal will also help you pick out cigars that fit your flavor profile and recommend new cigars that are always great smokes. Every single time I've been in there the service has been exceptional. Anjal gives you space when you need it and help when you ask for it. Nothing worse than someone hovering over your back while you try to take your time to check out the new stock or decide what you want. They have great events and discounts on boxes too. The best thing about buying a "box" is that they count ANY 20 cigars as a box so you get a large variety. This is especially helpful if you're not an experienced smoker so you can try different brands and sizes. The only thing that I would improve is the size of the actual lounge area. A bit on the small side. But as I said, I haven't been to too many places that beat Embassy in terms of selection. That's why it earns four stars. read more

stopped by this place to buy a cigar and the owner is a fucking douche bag. he only kisses up to his customers that spend money in his store. the place is cool and his selection is top notch but over priced and his attitude sucks balls. wasn't sure if his lounge was open to the public. he only offers his lounge if you have deep pockets or if you look the part. if you look g'd up like me, he won't let you in. so i went up the street on central to ISLANDS CIGARS where i met the owner chad. dudes real cool, nice selection of cigars n a chill lounge. save your money n stay away from embassy cigars. read more

This is a great place to get your cigars. I'm definitely a cigar novice, but I do enjoy a good cigar here and there even though I can't really tell the difference between the different types yet. I've gone with my bromosexual before and we had a good smoke in the lounge and that was a great relaxing time. The owner is very helpful and very nice. I can walk in there and he can point me towards a good starter cigar. They answered any questions I had and even humored me in talking about matching a good cigar with a good beer. That part of the convo I liked because I actually do know quite a bit about beer so it was great hearing how the pairing actually works with the two mediums. Anyways, it's a pretty classy joint and it's quite the looker. It's not for the faint of heart though. Some of the higher end cigars are quite pricey and so are the cutters and the torches but if you decide to smoke in the lounge, the cutter and the torch is provided for you. Oh on another added note, I brought in a torch that was almost dead and the owner showed me how to fill it and he refilled it for free. Totally legit guy and Embassy is a totally legit place. read more

great place to hangout and enjoy a nice cigar! very nice set up. the staff at Embassy is top notch! they know how to pick out delicious cigars for any palate. they have a large selection in their large humidor!. if your not into cigars they also have a good selection of pipe tobacco and pipes. they also recently started to sell some hookah tobacco (starbuzzzzzzz) and if your lookin for a new man cave... i think you found the right place!!! read more
