Great place. Always have a great selection and super prices. Picked up Arturo Fuente Hemingways for tonight. Stoked.

This place is second to none! Best and biggest humidor around. When you first walk in, you might be intimidated by the regulars sitting around enjoying their cigar, but take you time, sit down and relax. All the people there are pretty friendly and will warm up to you. If nothing else, start talking politics to Ben (one of the guys who works there) and you will be in for the time of you life! read more

One of the best cigar shops. Friendly staff and customers. Enjoy coming here even though the interaction is only a few minutes. Love supporting a local business. Great Davidoff collection. read more

Place is pretty awesome cant beat the selection here. just wish they would be more welcoming I'm a pretty young smoker and they don't seem to give you respect if your young here. read more

A nice cigar shop with a huge selection. Staff is friendly and let us chill here while we watched some football on a Sunday afternoon. Would recommend anyone to come here. read more

If you live in the area and have any interest in cigars, you must visit Maxamar. The humidor room is immense and cavernous. I've never seen so many cigars in one place in my life. The staff is wonderful, they offered any assistance if I wanted and then left me alone to explore and enjoy. But leave yourself enough time for a good look. when I visited I only had 45 minutes and it wasn't nearly enough. read more

Outstanding cigar place very friendly and very professional. Also the best selection there aswell

Great cigar lounge. Staff is great. Impressive humidor with a great selection of quality cigars. Online store Small Batch is great to deal with too. This place is definitely deserves your business and appreciates it. read more

Some customers are new to cigars- if you ask for help, they'll give it to you. Some customers like to browse without worrying about someone trying to upsell them every few minutes- they're very receptive to people like us as well. I've been smoking cigars for years now, and while I've had a brand disappoint me here & there, I've never been disappointed by this shop, their customer service, or the quality they keep their products in. 10/10. read more

Love the atmosphere, the owner and the folks that work here are amazing . Great place to enjoy a cigar or two!

Cool bunch of guys, the price can be a little better but by no means they overcharge. California is a tough market for cigars due to unreasonable sin tax but you can pertty much find anything there. Nice Davidoff selection!!! Check them out! read more

I will definitely be coming back. Thx for the recommendation of Davidoff Nicaragua cigar. Again. Thx for ash tray. You gained a life long customer. read more

Maxamar Ultimate Cigars - Thx for the ash tray and the Davidoff Nicaragua cigar. AMAZING!!!! - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Orange, California

Super shop build by the cigar gods. Great humidor and prices. everyone from the owner to the employee and the guys that smoke there are awesome. read more

Always drove past this place and never realized what a "diamond in the rough" this place was! Maxamar has a HUGE humidor...you can get lost in there! They have a great cigar selection and good prices. Never kicked it in the lounge but, they seem to be friendly and very knowledgeable about their cigars. read more

My favorite spot to buy for several reasons. One, they stay open late, usually till 11pm! For me that shows dedication to customer satisfaction. Second, their selection is tops around, if not best in OC. And lastly, their prices are super fair as opposed to those other shops who gauge you for 4-5$ per stick on top of wholesale. Come here, shop here, this is the spot. read more

Excellent cigar selection and very friendly service. I came down from The SF Bay Area because my son just started at Chapman University. I have been to a number of cigar lounges and Mark made me feel welcome and was very hospitable. I had a chance to also meet and chat with some of the "regulars " and they were a great bunch guys. I will be coming back, and I highly recommend Maxamar Ultimate Cigars! read more

Nice and friendly owner. The place is well designed and cozy. Also they carry good selection of cigars

First class service by super nice and highly professional people who stock the hard to find Balmoral Paso Doble cigar. While the lounge is nothing special, the people there are wonderful. I'll be returning to the store. read more

Ok, I don't do a lot of reviews. In fact, I only do a review if I'm moved by something extraordinary (good or bad). I'd been to Maxamar's a few times early in my cigar smoking process. I didn't really know then what I was doing or buying, but they were always very courteous and patient with explanations and suggestions. Over the last couple of years, I became much more involved in the hobby and know have a fairly extensive collection of smokes. However, I have typically ordered my cigars over the (wait for it....) internet. Yes I said it. The internet. I did this under the assumption that the prices were substantially cheaper online than in a B&M. Boy was I wrong! I have been on a search for a fairly rare cigar that is out of production. I wanted it not only because it was an outstanding cigar, but I had an emotional connection with it (I was gifted one by a friend that had passed away a few months earlier). I'd found the cigar on the internet, but it was pretty pricey. I'd certainly never seen it in a cigar lounge. Maxamar not only had it, but it was the original release (not the re-release), and their price was cheaper than the internet - and that was before shipping!! I'm definitely done with being a primarily internet cigar purchaser. This place really lives up to its 5-star rating. My only regret is that I can't give them more...!!! read more

I live in LA and make the drive to Orange County once a week just to go to this shop. The best selection and the best prices in SoCal and I've been to every shop. There are plenty of good places if you are a casual smoker, but Maxamars is THE PLACE if you are a serious enthusiast. The guys at the shop are all helpful and very knowledgable. The locals that you will meet if you stay for a smoke are all good guys. No bullshit and no attitude which u can sometimes run into at cigar lounges. A note about prices: I support local tobacconists even though the best prices can often be found online. I don't mind paying a little extra to help these local businesses that are the heart of the cigar lifestyle/hobby. But there's a limit to what I can comfortably overpay. It doesn't take much research to figure out the national (pre local tax) price of your favorite sticks. Maxamars ALWAYS prices their cigars in alignment with this national MSRP which is a pretty cool thing to do in Southern CA where taxes on all businesses are famously high. There are shops in the LA area where you can observe prices routinely 30, 50 or even 100% over MSRP. I used to think that high Cali and LA taxes made super-high cigar prices necessary until I found Maxamars. In LA, big easy and cigar sanctuary also price fairly. Pricing isn't the only thing to consider when choosing a shop, but when the variations in price are so dramatic, it really pays to stick with a shop like maxamars. There are tons of places to go if you just need a cheap stogie for a round of golf. Who cares if you pay a couple extra bucks as long as the cigar is properly humidified? But if you are a serious cigar aficionado or collector with a bigger cigar budget, then you MUST go to Maxamars because they have the good stuff and they take care of their customers. read more

Great selection of sticks and fantastic prices...now they just need to spend 2 days and clean out the old dead never gonna sell sticks in the humidor...and renovate the lounge...I will be back... read more

With a huge walk-in humidor, solid selection ranging from the easy to come by to the hard to find, and friendly/knowledgable staff, Maxamar is a great place to stop in for a smoke or do some shopping to take with you. And don't forget to stop by their sister website, SmallBatchCigar.com. You won't regret spending some time at the B&M or on their website, I guarantee you'll find something you've got to have. read more

5 stars for the selection and price 4 stars for the service, depending on who's working 0 stars for the decor. lounge is old and dated. if you're an old fart and like 70's furniture, then you'll feel right at home. as for me, well let's just say i'm not an old fart and hate 70's furniture. read more

This place has a huge selection! Plenty of space to chill. The humidor was a few degrees colder than i'd like but everyone has a preferance for how they want their meat cooked right? I'd go back to get something hard to find... read more

Best Cigar shop in Orange County! Best selection, great customer service, knowledgable staff. This place is awesome!! Do yourself a favor and come and hang out at this cigar shop read more

I love this place. Came in today to restock on my cigars and received such a warm welcome when I walked in and I love that the employees don't bug/follow you while browsing through the huge selection that is offered in the humidor. The employees checked on me occasionally but again, allowed me to browse without much interruption. I truly enjoyed todays visit, friendliness from the employees and the price point of the cigars. read more

Maxamar Ultimate Cigars - Restock - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Orange, California

Cool place with amazing selections. The only thing was the seating arrangement was a bit awkward setup. That's the only thing. Otherwise, I would give 5 stars if that wasn't the issue. I believe they changed owner. Not sure, but i only went their three times within this past month or so. The name of the place is now called, Premium Cigars. read more

Wandered into this Cigar Lounge and was instantly amazed by the whole comfort level I felt.Lots of friendly people watching Basketball game and enjoying a Stogie.Ventured into humidor and was at first glance thought decent selection than I realized OMG still another huge room full of Cigars.The selection was by far the best in the OC Ghurka, La Flora,RP I mean everything you can think of.Felt Cigar Fest in Vegas so many sticks so little time.But I plan on fixing that problem by returning every opportunity possible.And oh yah the prices are by far the best in the OC. read more

This is the best cigar shop in the area. Best selection of cigars. Best service. Best place to hang out and have a smoke.

If you are in need of great cigars and want low prices paired with a 1000 sq ft walk in humidor filled from top to bottom with a huge selection. For me graycliff is the most difficult to find, but the inventory here is overwhelming don't be surprised if you spend over 30min just wondering through all the selections. Make sure to stay and enjoy your purchase with the friendly staff and regulars. read more

Mark is the man. Super helpful and was able to help me get my hands on a case of Davidoff's Royal Release Salomones. They were super hard to locate but he pulled it off. Will come back for sure!! read more

Great customer service and very knowledgeable guys! I was amazed with the amount of choices they have to offer and just being in there was like a kid in a candy store...will def be coming back for some more read more

The biggest selection of cigars I've ever seen. Customer service is outstanding and the crowd was also very nice.

Great help. Very nice humador. Can be intimidating, but they were very nice and accommodating. Answered any questions I had and made great recommendations in the price range I was looking for. read more

This is my new spot, I used to go all the way out to Pasadena to get the hard-to-find stuff like Davidoff, but these guys have everything that you can't find anywhere. amazing. read more

Great section of every cigar brand at good prices. The staff is very nice and the customers in the lounge are very respectful and are easy to get along with. Their humidor is well stocked but a little messy, it took me a while to find the particular cigar I was came to purchase. I understand that the messiness may be because cigar vendors may require them to buy in bulk to get a reasonable price. read more

Great selection of cigars and excellent service. I was in the area and found them through a google map search for cigars and Maxamar popped up near my location. I was blown away by the selection, the largest I have seen anywhere. The prices were good. Thanks for the cigar suggestions. I will be back! read more

It does no good to have a huge selection inside a locked store. They allegedly open at 11am but twice now I have stopped by at 11:15 on my way to golf to find them closed. read more

The sign on this place just says "Cigars" and it appears quite on the meager side from the outside. Im not sure where the Maximar Ultimate Cigar lounge came from on the listing. However Ive smoked cigars avidly for the last decade. Ive been to most of the shops in Southern California & This place is BY FAR the best! The humidor is easily double the size of any other shop within 100 miles. Not to mention that if they dont have it, it basically doesn't exist. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. The prices are honestly quite reasonable for cigars. I drive 45 minutes each way twice a month to visit this place. Its well worth checking out. read more

Amazing. The best cigar shop of all time. Great service, great cigars, and a great atmosphere.
