This place is holy ground to cigar or pipe smokers. I don't often use the word elegant to describe a store, but Hajenius deserves it. I recommend it to anyone who wants the very best. Their humidor is loaded with the best Cuba and other leaders of tobacco production have to offer. read more

Best cigar store in Europe. The lady that waited on me was excellent. The shop is first class. Great supply of cigars and tobacco.

I needed to stop and pick up a few cigars for some close friends back in the states and I was told to visit P.G.G. Hajenius because it was the place to see. So naturally I did follow those instructions and was not disappointed. It wasn't what I expected in regards to friendliness but the young lady who was working this particular day was very informative. The selection was extensive and impressive. I bought my go to Cuban that I like alot but did not purchase anything else. The lounge area was beautiful but again the patrons weren't as welcoming as other locations have been for me in other parts of the world. Nonetheless, it was a enjoyable experience. Proost!!! read more

P.G.C. Hajenius - The lounge area - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I really wanted to attend the Smoking and Tasting event they had on November 16th, 2012 weeks before my flight but it was booked solid, no matter. On the first day I landed, Hajenius was the first stop on my list. On this strip of the Rokin where there aren't too many interesting retailers in comparison to the other streets, besides a luxury jewelry and men's shop, stands this cigar store with a walk in humidor and lounge. If you're looking for it, it's hard to miss with it's red awnings, but if cigars aren't your interest you can easily pass and miss it. When you walk in, it kind of feels like a hotel until you look to the right and left. The walls are lined with tobacco products. On the very top shelf are vases of what looks like either tobacco or cigars were stored back in the old days. It has an old world charm: Hajenius... but also a clean modern day smoothness to it's decor. Hajenius is classy without any pretentiousness; each encounter with the different staff members were greeted with friendliest, accommodation and helpfulness. The second section as you advance further in is a walk in humidor. There is usually someone stationed inside the walk in humidor, if not ask or be patient. The only way the doors slide open for you to get in is by the staffed member inside to let you in. One reason is due to controlling the traffic so it doesn't get packed full because the room can fit like 6 people max. When I entered the third section, I saw glossy humidors and high end or classic cigar accessories in glass shelves for display purposes and the two rooms. One I will call the President room because of the large wooden meeting table and the painting of what looks like an old president in American terms, in Dutch terms it could have been an old politician or important history figure. The second room is the lounge. On my first visit, I bought from Hajenius a Montecristo No. 2 and smoked it in their lounge with 4 other guys. The lounge is nice, quiet when empty but better with conversation. Beverages like the simple water cooler provides hydration, alcohol is allowed, we brought our own bottle of Ferreara wine or ask the staff for coffee. If you're like me who left your cutter and lighter at home, just ask the Hajenius staff, like I said they are very accommodating and friendly. The decor of the lounge is of a book shelf, leather couches/seats, tables and a coffee bar. Restroom available by asking. The front section: Dutch cigars on display, mostly - with cutters & lighters The walk in Humidor: Mostly Cubans, I believe The lounge: Comfortable with ash trays, matches, a water cooler and coffee I had bought a few to go and they are packaged in a cardboard like case to protect the cigars, each time the host thanked me pleasantly. The only hope is that they would have a broader variety. read more

Best cigar shop in amsterdam. I have been going here for 10 plus years. Not cheap but these are real cubans, you cant bet on anything from any other shop. read more

This is a small shop in Leidseplein that carries cigars, cigarettes and smoking accessories. Their cigar assortment is extensive ranging from 3 euro on up to 127,50 euro for a cuban. I bought one of those 15 euro cubans because I could literally smoke it all day and have a whiskey or four with it. The P.G.C. company has been dealing in tobacco and fine cigars since the early 1800's. Smoking a fine cigar has always been a luxury and should be savored over time and not rushed. My grandfather used to roll his own cigars but they were nothing like these. There's at least a couple of these stores in the area. Now to find a bar where I can enjoy this cigar and a few whiskeys. read more

What can I say other than this is the greatest cigar and pipe shop I have been to in Europe. The spacious 100 year plus old store is stocked with amazing cigars from all over the world, with one room just dedicated to Cuba. Buy a cigar or ten to smoke there and the shopkeeper will convince you to buy a nice tawny port for 5 Euros and will send you to the smoking room, where you can also get an espresso. He will prepare your cigar if you wish and bring it with the port. Relax with the locals and many foreigners in nice leather chairs, and remind yourself why you like Amsterdam so much. read more

P.G.C. Hajenius - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Very nice, upscale score shop with a lot of pipe products and other top tobacco products to offer. Staff is very nice and accommodating and they had a great smoking room. A bit pricey, but worth the trip. The fairly good selection and friendly staff will make this a repeat stop for me whenever I come to Amsterdam. read more

Oh my god. Worst service ever. Don't go! If you're lucky they let you into the humidor. If you're unlucky like me, they leave you locked in there for more than 15 min and don't care to come back. Had to make a phonecall to make them aware. Then no apology whatsoever and arrogant as hell. Will never ever go back. read more

Super cool place. Pipe selection is immense, cigar selection a little less so. One of the only places for serious smokers to lounge in in this city -- you can't smoke in Casa del Habano at the Conservatorium unless you pay for a locker. Staff is accommodating and friendly. When you enter, ask a staff member to let you into the humidor. read more

Hajenius is "cigar smoker's heaven" and worth a visit too if you're not into cigars at all. The art deco interior is stunning, the service out of this world and it all just makes you feel like being in a classy 1940's movie. Be sure to check their (very informative) website for more information. read more

In Amsterdam a few days before a river cruise and of course I need some quality cigars. Great place! Even better being helped by a beautiful assistant. :) read more

Hajenius has been around almost a hundred years. My father, who is Dutch, introduced me to it decades ago. Unfortunately it seems to have become a victim of its own fame and success. One of my Dutch friends is quite a cigar fanatic, he's been published in CA 2 or 3 times and lives near Amsterdam. He won't shop here anymore. Apparently he stopped in for something a bit special he had heard was in stock and after looking around for it asked for help. He was told by a "totally disinterested sales girl" that "if you don't see it we probably don't have it." When I visited last month he marched me past Hajenius and just up the road to the smaller Davidoff. Despite speaking mixed English and Dutch we got great service including knowledgeable recommendations based on what else each of us had chosen. Point taken. Hajenius has been a touch stone for me on many, many trips to Amsterdam. I slinked back on my own a few days later. The humidor room's door was closed with a sign instructing not to enter without staff. There were staff inside, the door did not give, I was unclear on what to do. I waited a bit, walked around the rest of the shop checking out beautiful humidors and accessories, looked purposefully at idle sales help at the main counter... Inside the humidor were a couple of customers and the familiar older gentleman who has sold me cigars not often but over a period of least twenty some years. I tried the door. Gentleman held up his hand like a wall, traffic cop style, you may not enter. What could I do? I felt so sad, then I held my own hand up and waved goodbye to him, and to the old world charm of Hajenius. What was once so clearly the place to buy your cigars in Amsterdam simply is no more. Goodbye Hajenius, I suppose you are still an option for someone wanting high end humidors, accessories and sundries, but it seems to be over for the charm, the personal service and well, the ability to actually enter the humidor and buy cigars without things getting ridiculous. I had a zero star experience, I'll give you two for old times sake. I do notice that yelp.nl shows just three reviews for you, all 2010, all five stars and quite similar, all written within two weeks.... Odd for such a famous place. read more

solid. quality cigars inside an amazing humidor. its like 007 girls who know their cubans. this is THE PLACE.
