New owner Chad, is a knowledgeable industry entrepreneur. He knows his products! Lounge is very nice now and about to be remodel with a speakeasy / jazz club feel and full bar! Excited to see how it all turns out in a month or two! Eager to come back as he is a great vision of what this lounge can become! Check it out ! read more

I have been going here for years when it was Jim Stogies, the new owner is great I highly recommend.

The lounge is clean and friendly. A little small and can get crowded. The cigar selection is decent. Cigar prices are expensive but reasonable for a cigar lounge. Sometimes you find a very unique cigar you haven't seen before. read more

First time here but the cigar selection and quality of cigar seem really good for a storefront cigar place. The prices are inline with expectations of any regular cigar smoker that frequent lounges. There is a nice, but small lounge. Would easily seat 15-20 people. Well appointed. Good ventilation. Three TVs. Comfortable, leather seats. The usual. Staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. read more

Big Jim! My man with the plan. My buddies live pretty close and they've been coming here for years. I have a tight schedule and couldn't make NYC so we all decided on Jim's Stogies to hang for an hour or two. Jim is a nice guy, he is always there to make suggestions. What's nice about this place, there is no membership. You buy a cigar and can smoke in the back. No pressure, how cool is that?? Nice selection of cigars at reasonable prices. There is a bar in the back that doesn't open until 6:30. It would be nice to BYOB at 5pm. I'm not sure if Jim is open to that suggestion. TV's, comfy chairs and smokes. If that doesn't describe a man cave, I'm not sure what does. If your in the area, find this place and buy a quality cigar from a locally sourced, Long Island business. read more

Very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Lounge is on the more intimate size but well appointed and very comfortable seating. Apprx 18-20 person capacity. Several large flat screens and impressive stock of cigars and expanding pipe tobacco section as well. I enjoy watching the games here and look forward to Rob and Bridgette expertise read more

My pops was on a mission to find some good stogies while he was visiting from California, dropped him off at this location which had an ample supply considering. Drove all the way out to the Hamptons and proceeded to indulge in our Romeo and Juliet's. Upon lighting, at least three were duds. I'm assuming the vendor that you're getting these from rolls them far too tightly. read more

Went in with mixed expectations, and, was extremely impressed. The small storefront is misleading, this place is rather large. Went with a friend, and we both wanted to try different cigars from what we normally smoke, and both of us loved the cigar that was recommended for us (a different one each). Prices were fine, not cheap nor expensive. After hearing that this place was byob, apparently it's not true, or doesn't work on the night they have a bartender. Oh, by the way, walk into the back lounge area, and sit in one of the extremely comfy chairs. The place feels like it's a regulars/members only type place who doesn't want you to be there, but the few people we dealt with were very friendly. Will be back. read more

This place was great with the customer service, people, and atmosphere. Since first time I went it was so comfortable and inviting. Seems if there is new staff and they are unprofessional and skeevy . What a shame. read more

See all

Place is ok. Very dark. Cigars need better care also they need a much better selection. Prices are more than other places and it gets Smokey quick. read more

Great local cigar shop located on Main Street Farmingdale. They have a big selection of cigars where you can definitely find a cigar that will satisfy your pallet. I had a great conversation with Jim about some of the cigars he sold in his shop and he's very knowledgable about the business. If you get a chance theres a great lounge in the back where you can sit and enjoy your cigar while watching the game or whatever is on TV. I believe after 5pm he has a bartender there to serve you some top shelf liquor. Great shop Jim i'll be visiting you again. read more

Sorry not Sorry but the new management is absolutely terrible. Something about him just gave me and a couple friends such an uncomfortable feeling. He literally stood on top of me while i was making a selection, almost pervy and his comments in front of my husband were so inappropriate and the place itself is Way too dark and Smokey, the furniture is so worn out and ripped. Absolutely disgusting you will never see me back here again. read more

Though it might not look so big from the outside, this place certainly surprised me. I like the nice collection of different cigars from all over. The staff is very helpful and recommended me their cohiba. $20 well spent. It tasted fresh and even came in a mice and fancy aluminum casing. I highly recommend the cigar lover to check this place out. Theres also a very nice humidor at the back! read more

Nice atmosphere. Ventilation great. Lounge area very nice well kept great selection of cigars. Kenny was the person running the lounge and he was extremely helpful and attentive. A nice place to have a cigar among friends read more

Above Average cigars and an awesome bartender making me great Manhattans. Only reason for the 3 stars is the shortage of Kettle One and the slow responsiveness from the waitress chick.. Great drinks though! read more

Not everyone wants to celebrate with a cigar, but when the urge strikes, it's likely when drunk, already out celebrating on Main Street. So I stumbled in here one night and they had some quality selections and a very knowledgeable cigar-keep, who gave us the run down on the different types of cigars and gave me my first serious lesson in cigar connoisseurship, if you will. They have a smoking lounge, which I think is really neat and is definitely better than smoking outside. I know what I like a bit better now, so I expect this place to be of better use for me in the future. read more

One of the best cigar lounges on Long Island.

Hidden Jem, a lot of people remember a bad reputation, they don't have a bar anymore, now a better BYOB all the time no odd bar hours. A little dated yes but it's a cigar lounge and it kind of fits the experience. Great staff, the selection is large could use some updated selections but still much larger than other cigar shops. Stop and in and see for yourself read more

Ah I hate to give 1 star. I really do. But here's the deal, I'm super easy to please. If I'm walking into a store and there's literally a tiny space, you and one other customer, then whoever is working there damn well better at least acknowledge that you've entered the establishment. I walked around browsing the mediocre selection for a solid 5-7 minutes with nary a nod from the employee. In my books, I'll never come back to your establishment for that. What's worse is that as a woman going into a cigar store, it's often assumed that we don't know what we're talking about it getting anyway. Well Jim, I can assure you I will never purchase anything from your store if a simple hello or welcome is too difficult. read more

Started going to Jim Stogie's a couple of months ago. The people are very friendly and made me feel welcome from day one. The best thing is the air filtration is great you can breathe and be warm at the same time read more

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE! If you want to be met with hostility and extremely poor customer service shop here. The staff is unknowledgeable, rude and more interested in getting wasted in the back room. The boss needs to do some firing and hiring. Really takes farmingdale down a class level. read more

Jim's is a great place to kick back with some friends, enjoy a nice smoke or two and some premium drinks. Can't forget those big and very comfy chairs he has also! If you're looking for somewhere to smoke a cigar pipe, this would be the place for you! Don't let the small storefront fool you. It's actually a nice size smoke shop and cigar bar in the rear. He also sells lighters, cutters, cigar pipes and accessories. All of the cigars have been as fresh as can be when I've smoked them right from the shop and sat down in the lounge. Jim, John, Nick and his other staff members including the very nice ladies who work in the bar especially Lydia are down to earth and friendly. I've never had any issues. I've been a regular here to the shop prior to Jim taking it over when it used to be called "Stogies 'N Tales" back in the day. There were rules that needed to be enforced that you have to be 25 and older to sit in the back lounge. At times the younger crowd would literally stumble into the shop and be obnoxious. It ruined the mood of a cigar lounge, you're there to relax, have a drink or two and watch some sports games with the company of good friends or make new ones. So something had to give and props to Jim for stepping up and controlling it. The store hours aren't the best in my opinion but I'm ok with them. He's closed on Tuesdays and on Monday's 5pm-10pm, the rest of the week opening at 12pm with variation of closing depending on the day of the week. I wish there could be longer winter hours or open earlier in the day. I sure as hell don't want to be freezing my a** off trying to enjoy a real nice cigar outside in this New York weather. In the summer time, I can see his hours changing as it's a little slower in the shop and people are out and about enjoying the warmth. At times, yes they do run out of alcohol. Now I didn't complain because I had something else to drink. It happens and no ones perfect. I did mention it to him though. I happened to be there a day after he said the bar was completely stocked. Apparently, there was standing room only and people were standing in the front of the shop smoking a cigar. So it happens that he had a really busy night and ran out of certain alcohols. Just as it might anywhere else. ...And although to some this might be anticipated as more of a guy's hangout, I've seen the ladies come in to sit down and enjoy company of their dates, husbands, boyfriends or friends as well!!! Hope this review helps out my fellow "Yelpers" read more

Whenever I am in the area I always stop in for a different stogie. Always a super friendly staff.

I recently visited Jim's for the first time and I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner. Great selection of cigars at fair prices. Jim was very friendly and helpful. The lounge is a great place to relax and smoke your favorite stick. I plan on being a "regular" at Jim's Stogies!! read more

Good selection of different brands and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The lounge is great and very big which is a pleasant surprise because the store front looks small at first glance. They're usually open decently late so it's nice to go to after a meal or drink from one of the restaurants on the street. A really nice place to watch a game and relax. read more

I'm adding a star onto my review. The last two times I have had a good experience at this location. The fellow with the glasses seems to be a great deal more polite and helpful. Maybe he read the reviews? Keep it up over there. If you guys can get the espresso machine fixed that has been down for a month maybe I will give you 4 stars. read more

It does not have good ventilation, and it is so dirty, I couldn't sit there and smoke a cigarette for 10 minutes, let alone wait for my daughters boyfriend to smoke a cigar. read more

A great local cigar shop with a nice selection of smokes. Looks are a little deceiving here bc it really is a quality shop. It's not huge but they do carry some great stuff. What I liked most was that the lounge in back is actually quitteee comfortable and a great place to enjoy a cigar, a drink, and your friends. The staff was very friendly and attentive. In fact, I don't know why I haven't become a regular yet. I must change this soon. It really is a good place and a great spot to go to and enjoy a stogie. read more

Quality cigar bar with a great selection of cigars. They used to have a bar there but they recently decided not to keep the liquor license. Comfortable seating and dim lighting. The exhaust system works pretty good to keep the smoke to a minimum. Overall cool spot to hang out with friends. read more

I having been enjoying this place for years, lots of regulars there who are very friendly. If I miss a week they all welcome your return and inquire if everything was ok. John works the front after 7pm. A true gentleman, and Lydia works the bar after 6 pm Wed., Thurs.,and Friday. She is a doll. 2 large flatsreen TV's are on for all your favorite sports games. Actually going tonight and meeting 4 old work buddies. read more

Can't give a High or a low rating Owner is a D-bag no question there the front guy John is a cool dude And the women in the back are always busting their asses. I like the fact you are able to sit relax watch some TV while. Smoking a stogie but come on guy keep your place stocked with liquors, beers and juices I don't want to drink a water or a coke with my cigar If it wasn't for the other employees and relaxing atmosphere when the owner isn't around I am not too sure I'd go back read more

Wide variety of cigars. Very pricey, 5 medium quality cigars cost $35. does not make any cigars. The are all mass produced.

My friends and I have always joked about going to this place and smoking cigars in the back. Well, for Monday night's NBA Playoffs, that joke became a reality.... But it wasn't a joke. I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating this cigar bar was to its customers. I purchased my cigar in the front of the store from Ken (who was great). I met my friends in the back seating area where there were 3 TVs, comfortable leather couches and chairs, and refrigerators behind the bar if you bring your own drinks. Ken came over every hour or so to make sure everything was fine and if anyone needed anything. When the games ended, nice jazz music played that wasn't too loud, but was not too soft. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone thinking about visiting this location. They provided exactly what my friends and I wanted. I give it 4.5 stars due to being closed on Tuesdays and not being able to serve alcohol (which is made up for by being BYOB). read more

Friendly service, nice shop, comfortable lounge.

Lucas is the best .Knows his stuf Too many guys for me it would be gret if they had a russian bartender

A hidden gem. Its so hard to find a place to enjoy a cigar and an adult beverage these days. This is the place to come and relax and do just that. Excellent cigars all on display and the staff can help you find whatever you are looking for in your cigar.Friendly staff and patrons. read more
