As a long time cigar aficionado there are a number of things that bring me pleasure when smoking a cigar. Number one of course are the aesthetics of how it looks and then even before you light it, how it tastes in your mouth. After all it's about taste. Then the other particulars go into play, where and what capa is the cigar wrapped in, as well as the binder and filler since they all provide a flavor profile. Having said all that my experience at Mursuli was exceptional. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. Their walk in humidor houses a wide variety of sizes, types and shades. Their prices are exceptional. My usual is a Padron Series 1964 Belicoso and although the 52 ring 4" cigar that were purchased are not to the standard of such a high end cigar, but it was very flavorful. A nice even ash is always a tell tale sign of a good roll and these burned evenly throughout the smoke. Overall great pricing, service and flavor. read more

Owner was so helpful and nice! Definitely great place to go for gentlemen gifts! Products sold there are superb!!!

Been using this place now for 2 years at our golf events! This place is reliable and they will work with you and your event. The cigars are good here can't go wrong their set up at the venues brings an aww factor to any event try them out! read more

I visit this place almost every other week now. I can easily walk in to the humidor & take my time. The guy who is always here when I go is a chill dude, he'll answer any questions. I enjoy their double wrap cigars. They roll their own. They also have some brand name premiums. read more

Mursuli Cigars - Took these sticks home to enjoy. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Temple City, California

The review is for the online ordering. I emailed Oscar about the availability of certain vitolas, Oscar responded within 24 hours, submitted my order, order was shipped the next business day, arrived in two days. Shipped as requested and USPS did their job. Perfect humidity. I'm a fan of thinner cigars, 36 to 42 ring gauges. The large manufactures are focusing on 50 and larger, Mursuli has a varsity cigar in these thinner vitolas. Most of my cigars arrived uncellophaned and unbanded, which gets a lot of attention in my cigar smoking circles. Very cool! I also order a 7 inch 70 ring gauge cigar that Oscar rolls....monster ! I like 'em long and thin but some variety is good. read more

Great place to check out some Cigars. The man at the front desk was super friendly and made the experience that much better. Will come back whenever we are looking for more. (: read more

Oscar is a joy and the quality of the sticks is fantastic. I find it hard to buy my cigars from anywhere else when we have a small, local shop that far and above exceeds most other places in terms of quality or friendliness. Give these guys a try and you'll be back. read more

I live in OKC and was turned on to Mursuli's by a friend that lives just outside of Temple City. I've placed 2 orders with Richard and Oscar and I have just been pleasantly surprised all around. Great customer service and hands down one of the best cigars I've had. Definitely will be a long term return customer. read more

GUILTY PLEASURE #2 A CONVERSATION 10 YEARS AGO: LIFE INSURANCE AGENT: "So Mr Rodriguez do you drink Alcohol" ME: "Yes I do LIFE INSURANCE AGENT: "How many drinks a day?" ME: "Oh! Just a few drinks a week, mainly wine" :-) LIFE INSURANCE AGENT: "Mr. Rodriguez, Do you smoke?" ME: "Yes! Cigars Only! Usually 2 or 3 a year". LIFE INSURANCE AGENT: "Well lets put that you don't smoke any then" We don't want you to fall into the higher bracket! ME: Ah! OK! Thank god! I was telling the truth regarding that second question! Cigars to me truly are a guilty pleasure. Yeah! I smoke 2 or 3 per year. I have really never been into smoking. But I am Cuban and Tobacco probably runs threw my veins since it is a business that my family from Cuba has worked in. There is something almost sin full when lighting up and puffing away on a good smoke like the one I had today from Mursuli Cigars. Not to mention that I do my very best to support local businesses in my community. The Mursuli family has 50 years of experience in the tobacco industry that has been passed down through the entire family. Located in Temple City about 3 plus miles from my house. I would always drive by there location which reads on the outside "CUBAN CIGARS", and say "I gotta try one someday". I have had a few cigars from Mursuli over the last 10 years. I am really not a Cigar Aficionado. I don't think I would be able to truly distinguish a $5.00 cigar from a $40.00 Cigar, but it is fun to try. Plus! Sitting back in your lazy chair outside and lighting up a cigar while you swirl a glass of 20 year port wine works fine by me. Solid Cigars, that can be bought online or from there production facility in Temple City. Give Them A Try! Cheers! read more

Oscar is the absolute best! I had a last minute event, and I needed some serious cigars. I called Mursuli's, and spoke with Oscar, we agreed upon a fair price, and he took care of the rest. All of my guests were impressed with the availability and most importantly knowledge Oscar and his team were able to provide. If you're looking for specialty cigars for your next event, or just need a few for a happy hour Mursuli's Cigars is the place to go. Again, ask for Oscar, he did not disappoint! read more

Everyone there is very kind. Small place to stay and smoke but excellent place to stock up! All their smokes are easy on the palate meaning that they aren't very spicy or peppery. Even their Maduro wrapped cigars have fillers that aren't overwhelming. Smoothness all day and well constructed. read more

Hands down some of the best cigars I've ever had I like how they have various types. The biggest problem is when I walk into the humidor and don't know what cigars to choose. read more

My first visit to this shop was a few days ago, I met some YouTubers doing some type of promotional video. As posted in other comments, they mainly sell their private label cigars with reasonable prices. The selection is decent, they offer a cigar size for every taste and post the price, size, and strength. The walk in humidor is small, maybe big enough for three to stand. The comfortable lounge area is maybe large enough for 8-10 clients. I selected a lancero for $5, the sign said it was medium strength but to me it was mild. Unfortunately, this was not a good cigar, it burned uneven, I had to relight it at least 4 times because of uneven construction, and there was no complexity/flavor. This shop is a good choice for those new to cigars because of their prices and milder smokes. read more

Great cigar shop, hand rolled cigars and great knowledge of the fine art of cigars. Family owned and ran, comfortable place to sit and partake or just stop in and grab a few cigars to take. read more

Mursuli cigars is a gem in the San Gabriel Valley. Oscar is a great guy that is easy to talk to and was very welcoming from the moment I walked in the shop. After a bit of conversation Oscar gave me a tour of the walk in humidor and I made a few selections. I felt comfortable hanging out in the lounge area so grabbed one more to burn while talking baseball with Oscar. I will definitely be returning and bringing some friends. read more

Love this place! You will not find a better cigar for the price... ANYWHERE. This is a family owned and operated business. No arrogant, "who's this guy", vibe when you walk in. Oscar (the owner) is friendly, knowledgable and more than happy to answer your question on all things cigars, Dodgers or the best Netflix binge lol. Give'em a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Use to live near here as a kid, that was 22 years ago! 22 years tells you something. A wide selection of hand rolled cigars. Lots of styles, Coronas, robustos, Churchills, toros, etc.! Nice walk in humidor. Great prices for great tasting handmade sticks!!! Can't wait to go back!! read more

Don't know where to start because their is so many great things to say about this place but I'll start off with the friendly environment when you walk into the door. So i dropped by to the best place in town to pick up a couple of cigars for my friends and I for our poker night. The owner, Oscar Mursuli, definitely knows how to make a person feel welcomed in his shop. Such a great guy with an awesome personality who knows what he's talking about when it comes to cigars. I bought a couple of corona naturals and they were perfection. That is one of my personal favorites aside from the wide variety of options that you can choose from. Not only do you go just for the cigars but you also go for the great company. Recommend this place to everyone who wants to buy cigars even first timers. Not only will you not regret it but you will also gain an amazing friend. read more

Had a poker night with the guys and Mursuli's cigars were the perfect compliment to the evening. Great little local shop where all their cigars are hand rolled there. Warm, friendly and welcoming environment. The service is just amazing. Oscar is a master at his work. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Walk-in humidor with a wide varitey of quality cigars to suit your taste. The Churchill Double Wrap, Double Corona Naturals and Churchill Naturals are my personal favorites. Prices are reasonable as well. If you're ever in the area, I would definitely recommend a visit to Mursuli's Cigars. You won't be disappointed. Oscar also caters events too. Party's, weddings, Oscar is the guy to see! read more

I've been smoking cigars since I was around 16. Growing up in Miami, FL, there are two things I know, coffee & cigars. I developed my taste for traditional cigars over the years and experimented with all sorts of brands, countries, etc.. When I met Oscar, I was a bit skeptical of a cigar rolled in Temple City of all places, but after my first one...I was hooked. Rolled in the cuban tradition, Mursuli Cigars surpasses many of the traditional brands I have smoked over the years. They truly are a local gem. read more

How cool is it that you can hire these guys to come to your event and they will roll cigars for the guests? Oscar is a cool guy that welcomes you into his store every customer at a time. His cigars are very reasonable and they smoke as good as some brands that are 3x-4x the price. Since they are made there, I let them sit for about a week and man! they are even better. And what's better than supporting your own from our area? read more

Great people & great smokes! wherever you are in SoCal...it's worth the drive... just picked up 20 or so cigars for a party. The humidor is well stocked with all sizes. I enjoyed a "robusto natural" on the drive home just now. An OUTSTANDING smoke! Check them out!!!! read more

So my cousin has been telling me about this place. So while I was down from S.F. We went. Wow what a great place. The aroma of the cigars was AWESOME. Great customer service. I could not pick just one, so I walked out with a variety. They do mail orders, but I would miss out going to the shop. So each time I drive to Southern California I will always stop by and make a purchase. read more

Quality cigars hand-rolled right here in the SGV - who would have thought? MC is family-operated boutique cigar store that only sells their own label. They have a small walk-in humidor and, over the past two years, I've enjoyed their various maduros and naturals. You won't find other brands and it's really just a shop rather than a lounge (although they have a flatscreen and a few seats). I've walked in a few times when the rollers were working behind the counter - where else would you see this except on some plantation in Nicaragua! If you're looking for a quality cigar made in the SGV, pick up and try a few of these locally made sticks. read more

This unassumming place sells only it's locally rolled product. The cigars are fresh. The prices are reasonable. The people are nice. So why only 3 stars? Because, my friends, the quality of the tobacco used to create the final product is not particularly good. We tried some $7 double coronas and were disappointed. Uneven burn. Inconsistent filling. Much too spongy. And most importantly - lacking much flavor. Getting a freshly made cigar is a fun and unique experience in most places these days - but I want more than just a unique experience - I want a good smoke, too. If you are headed out to Santa Anita and want a cigar for the track - detour here and grab a fresh cigar for your day at the races. But IMHO this is not a place to come to fill up your home humidor. (BTW - great wooden statue out front). read more

This place has very little selection. Mostly only there own brand cigars. I don't have a problem with that except it should be advertised that way. I drove specifically to this place and all I could buy was their cigar. Not good read more

very HELPFUL. I've been going here for years. Every time I go in the service is outstanding. I wish they had shirts or hats! read more

The hand rolled cigars are pretty reasonably priced and they are fine smokes. I'm very pleased to have discovered this shop and hope to comeback soon. read more

Was very surprised actually didn't expect such a small yet inviting cigar shop and friendly service. I work at meat by @ Car Pros Honda in EL Monte and wanted to have a smoke called to see if they take credit very nice guy said sure we do come on by so I did and glad I did great selection of there own cigars and a bunch others I got there brand and it was very good you have a long term happy customer thx for the great service see ya real soon. read more

. Wow so they sell cigars and Have a Cigar Lounge .I bought some cigars but the lady wouldn't let me smoke in the lounge, twice now . I guess they discriminate and only special people can use the lounge I won't be back read more

Mursuli is a great place to get cigars. Really nice selection. I've been in the store several times and they are very welcoming and helpful. I plan on stopping by today for a few cigars for myself and father in law. read more

I lived in Pasadena for a long time. It was where I really got into cigar smoking.There are quite a few good cigar shops there so it was easy to go get my fix. After I moved to San Gabriel which is only 5 miles away but I wanted to find a local shop to get my sticks. There are few small places locally but most of them feel more like a liquor store with a walk in humidor and now a cigar shop. After searching online, I found Mursali. It is more of boutique store. You can't buy your favorite brand (Drew Estate being mine) but rather you get hand rolled (they are rolling them right in front of you) cuban seed beauties of their own brand. They have several different varieties and most of them are very reasonably priced. I am big fan of of their smokes and have been going there the past year. Trust me, if you are around the area and enjoy a good smoke at a great price, Mursuli is a must try. read more

I was in El Monte on business and decided to stop here. Got their Maduro Toro for 5.75. Delicious. Spicy and smooth. I'm a woman and I was helped by a great guy and treated with respect. I bought a 5 cigar sampler to take home and taste the whole range. It came to about $25. That's a bargain. It's VERY hard to find hand rolled cigars for this price. Looking forward to trying all the other cigars. read more

The BF and I are avid fans of these cigars! I still can remember the first time walking into the shop and getting that beautiful whiff of the cigars. Whats also great is you see them wrapping the cigars right in front of you. Even though it can be tricky driving to the location, its definitely worth it. read more

Been smoking cigars for 2 decades...and this being a hometown store made me happy to see. BUT... 1. I have purchased the same cigar a couple of times only to experience MAJOR flavor differences. I can understand slight differences...but the same cigar to have major different flavors each time!?! 2. I don't understand selling direct and charging your local community smokers premium prices! Maybe i am being too critical of the business plan...but when i can buy premium imports for the same price, I just have a problem! 2 points equal 2 stars! read more

I believe the shop is theoretically open on weekends from 9-5, but I've also driven by around 4pm on several Sundays and it's been closed, so I'm not sure. My route home from work takes me past and I've never seen them open on a weekday. The website doesn't say, which is weird, but I suspect their bread-and-butter is the rolling at parties action. Prices fall between the internet houses and your local high-overhead tobacco shop or cigar bar. I've had a few delicious torpedoes at the upper end of their price range (about eight dollars), but had bad experiences with the cheaper stuff. Last time I was there, I bought a dozen in the $2.50 price range that were absolutely terrible. They were almost the only ones in the bin, so no doubt that was a clue to their state. If I go back, I'll be more careful. read more

Great, friendly service . My cousin had Mursuli Cigars at his Birthday Party and it was a hit ! Highly recommend !

Great cigars and friendly people. If you are a cigar aficionado and can appreciate a Fresh cigar then you must try Mursuli Cigars. I picked a Lancero Maduro and was quite satisfied. Paired perfectly with a nice Espresso. Mmmmmmmmmm. read more
