In all my years of reviewing and traveling the globe this is the first time I have felt discriminated against. Date of Incident: Friday, Aug 1, 2025 around 12 pm. Here's what happened...... I walk in looking for a specific Cigar. The store clerk helping one male customer. So really it's just the three of us now in this tiny store. The clerk sees me and shoots me a dirty look. No problem. Maybe his dog is sick or something.... I don't know. I wait 5 min, 10 min, 15 min. No Hello. No I'll be right with you. Nothing. Not a single gesture of acknowledgement....of not only a customer but another human being that just happens to walk into your establishment. Bizarre. Going on 20 min now. I started to feel very uneasy and uncomfortable, as I was now being overtly ignored, and me being the Alpha-A type personality that I am....I wasn't just going leave and have someone ignore me like that. So.....I turned to the clerk who literally pretended I was a fly on the wall, and said...."If I could please get some service, I'm in a bit of a rush." He then with a pissed off reluctant look came my way. Even when he attended to me I felt this hostile energy from him I could not understand, and certainly was unfamiliar with, as I had never experienced anything like that. Ever. What was interesting was that the other customer felt bad for me, and apologized to me. It turned out I just had a question about a product and had to wait 20 min to ask it from a store clerk who pretended I was not there. Upon leaving the store there was only one thing that I was unsure of. Was it the fact that I was a Female or a person of colour that my business was not welcome? read more

Kinda pricey but what do you expect of Cubans and great service. Would visit again them again

We live in Victoria, BC looking for a specific type of tobacco, and we contacted this company. With the help of George, we were able to get what we needed after a year of searching. The value of the product was on par. George is hands-down the best. The customer service was amazing, i can't recommend him more. Thank you, George and the company for helping us.

This was a neat place to walk into.. People were pretty helpful. My husband was in need of some cigars and managed to find this place during our vacation here. I enjoyed looking around at all the other gadgets and gizmos in the store. We also received a cigar cutter, which my husband was excited to put to use. read more

Excellent selection and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!

We were in town from TX, but living in the PNW, and my husband wanted to get some Cubans while we were there. I didn't get the young man's name at the counter on Saturday night, but he was very helpful and so kind to our family. The shop is very clean, organized, and doesn't have that overwhelming cigar smell. It actually smelled pleasing. Back in TX they allow folks to smoke inside cigar shops. Don't know how laws apply in Canada. Don't forget when you visit Houston,TX. Head down to Pearland, TX @ Killeen BBQ for some dang good food! Gotta get their brisket, beef and pork ribs, cream corn, and smoked turkey breast! We'll see y'all again when we're back up there. read more

I just recently tried my first Cuban cigar in the Dominican Republic. I don't know too much about cigars but that didn't matter when coming here. Paul introduced me to some cuban cigars and made me feel like I came to the right place. He's really genuine and knows what he's talking about. I am from California and now that we can bring Cubans back to the states, I think every American traveling abroad should pick some up. If you do, get them from this place !!!! Trust me. If you don't know what your looking for in particular it doesn't matter, they'll help you out and you'll be glad you went. Cant wait to come back!!! read more

Revolucion - Shop front - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is a great place to find unique gifts! The staff was friendly and helpful. Great stop for cigars!

Yes, this store caters to men. No, you don't have to be a cigar aficionado to venture into this place. I don't blame you for skipping this one when shopping at Yaletown. The official name, Revolucion Cigar and Fine Gifts, may be perceived a bit standoffish for the passer-by. But I don't smoke and I can assure you the "fine gifts" aspect is the reason to come see this place. The store from outside looks high end. Come peek inside and you'll feel there is warmth. The proprietor, Paulo, and his brother are accommodating. Tell them your there to look around and they will leave you alone. No pretentions here. Half of the store caters to cigars and cigar accessories, but so what if you don't smoke. They won't light one in your face. Afraid the store smells like cigar. Well, well you're in for a treat. The store has a nice ambient lighting. Not too bright, not too dark. It's well-ventilated. Really. No cigar scent that will stick on your skin or clothing. How come? While online I was looking for a Lampe Berger dealer and found them to be in the area of where I live. A couple blocks later, I'm at the store looking over the collection of lamps that will suit any taste and interior. Then I'm smelling the vials of Lampe Berger perfumes to decide what scent represents our place. A few shelves later you'll find yourself looking at Stewart/Stand stainless steel wallets. Say what? Yep, stainless steel wallet. Ouch. Not at all. They're soft like leather and tough like, err, stainless...steel. :X Check them out. They're even dealers of Sigg water bottles and accessories. There's really just too many brands and products to list and they just keep adding more every time I pass by. I think wifey has quietly banned me from going there because budget or no budget, I find myself itching to buy something even if it's just a refill fragrance for the lamp. Oh, and keep an eye out for products on discounts. It's not really advertised, but don't be afraid to ask if they happen to have anything on special. Can't find a gift idea for that special someone. Revolucion may be your answer. I hope my wife is reading this as well. Now where's that link to email the review... read more

Why everyone should shop at Revolucion: -It's pretty much the best place to find gifts for classy men -The owners are adorable, so friendly, charming and helpful (eye candy for the ladies, holler!!) -Great 'manscaping' products such straight razors, a men's skin care line, face brushes, etc.... things to make the man in your life lookin' good. -Cigars, fancy lighters, cigar cutting things, etc., I'm not up on cigar talk, but the stuff looks legit! Face it, dudes love this stuff. -Wine and martini accessories (saw a steel penguin shaped martini shaker... pretty darn awesome) -Unique room fragrances (in fancy but still masculine bottles) All in all... this place is a ten! This place is like a candy store for cool men, but as a gal, I can't get enough of it... there's so many neat things to gander at. I bought a wine aerator for my dad and some fancy cigars as stocking stuffers. I'll be back for more 'man presents' I'm sure! Love this place! read more

As a lot of of the reviews mention, this place is not just cigars, they carry great gifts and skin care / shaving products for men. Mainly I go here for cigars, these guys know their stuff. They are super knowledgeable and will help with anything, example: my humidor wasn't holding proper humidity, they didn't give up helping me with the issue until it was fixed, and I didn't even buy it there. Walking by the shop it's not uncommon to see the owners sitting on a stool, smoking, and chatting to everyone walking by, as some of the friendliest shop owners in Yaletown, it's not a surprise that they know everyone. Check them out even if you don't smoke cigars, the store is fantastic. read more

Feel like a GQ man or a very stylist woman. I love this store. Their cigar selection is just as good if not better than others in the city. They also have a ton of other items that make you feel like the most stylish person around just for walking in. From classic razors, shaving cream, to a ton of other items, this place has it all. But what I love about it is that the items are very...hard to explain, old fashioned? They are new but they are older designs which give it that classical feel. The staff are great, items are fantastic. Its a bit pricey but I am in Yaletown. What can I expect? And the prices are only a few dollars more and sometimes not at all different from the other Cigar stores. One Reviewer gave it a one star and said the cigar's were fake. Well I have a hard time believing this because there are regulations for all imports that need to be followed. And after meeting the owner, I know that if the Reviewer brought their issue with the staff, it would have been resolved. So I don't know why they did not contact the owner or staff because they are more than ready to resolve that matter. I mention this because when I see 5/5 stars from most Reviewers for a place then I see one star from a Reviewer, I am skeptical about that review. So I hope they resolve that situation because everyone has a great time at this store and I can't wait to go there again. Saving up for one of those old fashion razor blades. Can't wait to throw out my Gillette. No offence Gillette. ;). read more

Fantastic selection of fine gifts for men! If your stuck on a gift for buddy or family member hit this place up for great service and products. Oh, and I forgot to mention the wall of cigars! I got the Lamp Berger from my girlfriend as a grad present. The thing made my apartment smell amazing! Unfortunately, there was a defective part in the lamp. I took it back to the shop and the guys replaced the part no questions asked! The shaving equipment is second to none. No more paying 17$ for Schick and Gillette Products! One small investment on a double edge razor and I was on my way to a closer shave and saving money on blades. At the end of the day, it's one of my favorite shops in Vancouver. read more

My son and I decided we'd like to build cigar box guitars, so I called Revolucion to see about acquiring a few nice cigar boxes. Paul, the proprietor, was immediately amenable to the idea, and began setting aside some of his nicest boxes for us. Some time later, he called stating he had a number of boxes ready for pickup. When we arrived, we were graced with a dozen solid wood boxes, for which he refused payment. I was so surprised and delighted that I picked out several lovely Romeo y Julietas in an attempt to repay his astonishing kindness. I understand this is a rather unconventional review of a cigar shop, but Paul's warmth & bonhomie fully warranted it. He is a true gentleman and I will certainly be returning there whenever I can and highly recommend it for those in need of a fine cigar and a grand experience! read more

I think this is the best gift shop for men, anywhere in Vancouver, plus fantastic selection of Cigars at any price point. I've been visiting Revolucion since they opened as it's on my way to work. The owners are some of the nicest guys you ever meet, they have very unique gifts, mostly for men, and their prices are also very reasonable for quality of products offered. I do not smoke, but can tell you that their Cigar selection is second to none, and I have purchased various cigars at different price points for my friends and family as gifts and never heard any complaints. I highly recommend this store, specially to all the wives, girlfriend, and sisters of Vancouver guys who have a hard time finding a men's gift store. You can find anything from Cigars to wallets, to men's skincare, to Tumi bags. read more

Fun little shop with manly goods. They have wallets, shaving accoutrements, socks, bags, soaps, and a wall of cigars. If that's your (manly) bag, it might be worth a look see. read more

Most times I've gone in this shop the guy behind the counter couldn't be bothered to get off the phone to acknowledge me or offer any help. I went in recently to buy a new Cigar torch and while there also picked up a new cutter. I showed my membership card from our local cigar club and thought this might alert the salesman that I could easily become a regular customer. When I asked him if he'd fill the lighter with fuel so I could use it right away he grudgingly filled it about 1/4 full. What he saved in lighter fuel he's lost on future sales as I won't be back. That's just bad customer service. The cutter has since turned out to be a piece of rubbish but I'm not going to try my luck at returning it without a receipt. I'm a big believer in brick and mortar stores but if that's the level of service Revolucion provides I'll continue to order my cigars online from the US. read more

There cigars are not in the best shape and the prices are high! They know very little about their product. Opening line "the cigars are a little hard" what the hell. read more

This store brands itself as a store "for the man who has everything". Well they are wrong, It's a store for women too! I really enjoyed this store. Not only do they carry a wide variety of smoking accessories and cigars, they also have grooming items for men. Top it off with some very tasteful cuff links, watch winders, key chains, pens, wallets - check out their wallet which protects cards against RFID readers. If you are concerned about identity theft, get one of these wallets! Fun stuff: pictures, socks, cardboard stool, Ferrari hot wheels, poo-pourri to stop bathroom odors. Ferrari tote/man bags, ties. I would come back here for gifts and stuff for myself!! Service is great too! read more

Definitely a heaven for the high rollers here, pretty cool pricey toys to look at. Known for their cigars mostly, which are still pretty affordable, up to $25 per. Enough watches, cuff links, lighters, wallets, men's skincare...a great place to browse. read more

Bought 2 money clips here for the best men at my wedding. I took them to an engraver at a different store and he actually butchered one, so I had to replace it. Nico was super nice, and he even gave me a deal on the replacement; awesome guy I will basically buy every gift for every man that I know from here going forward. If you ever need a gift for a guy, you will find it here. Whether it's for your grandpa, father in law, or brother, you can't go wrong. I love this place read more

Best place to purchase the best in Cigars! I can honestly say, that I had to walk all over from smoke shop, to smoke shop, before finding this rare gem , in Vancouver! Very welcoming, helpful, and professional service. I've been there two days in a row! If you're looking for the best selection of fine Cigars, this is your place. Don't waste your time with the others. I'm from California, and I've been all over, so I know a quality shop when I visit one ! You will be satisfied with the quality of Cigars they offer! When ever I'm in town, this is definitely my only place to go!!! read more

Really knowledgeable staff helped me pick out my cigars within my budget. They held up well on the trip home and tasted great. They included cases to protect the cigars too. Very pleased! read more

Great staff. Really know their cigars and pairing each cigar to the customer. Felt like a VIP without the moviestar status

Talk about a cigar shop that has it all!! Paul and his brother are the best!! I have been patroning Revolucion for over 10 years maybe longer! Revolucion either has the brand I want or soon orders it and when it arrives Paul personally calls or text the customer to inform them of the arrival. I moved away but I still obtain the best of the best cigars from Revolucion! I asked Paul to ship me an order and within a week, they arrived!! Paul is the best, and I HIGHLY recommend, if you love cigars at a very good price, go to Revolucion!! I will continue ordering from here for as long as I live!! Viva Revolucion!! read more

I am upset I did not know about this store earlier :( I finally found a place that cares about the customer and is willing to go the extra mile to help. If there was an Oscar for best customer service and the sweetest smile the Lady that helped me today would get my vote. I will recommend this as the best place for anyone starting out to visit before any other store, the prices are by far the most reasonable I have seen, It is worth the trip to visit the store. If there were only more store's like this the world would be a happier place to shop. A happy new customer sorry house of knives you lost my business! PS: if anyone wants to buy my over prices Safety razor I will sell it so I can go there and buy a new one read more

I have been a fan for more than 4 years! Until I found out they sold me some fake cigars! The thing is, these fakes that I bought, they are not hard to spot if you are an expert at cigars. So they must have known that they were selling me fakes, so they were not fooled themselves when they got these. I smoke cigars, but I am no expert. In case your wondering, I bought a Cohiba 2004 Limited Edition...PIRAMIDES!! I found out there was never a release of such LEs! Beware, do not trust these guys. Sure, they are friendly and what not. I am really disappointed, I really am I thought they were one of the few trustworthy cigar shops in Vancouver. Never will I ever go there again. They expensive too! read more

If you come and ask me what do I want for a gift... I will basically tell you to go to that store and pick what ever you want. It is that cool. read more

This place is great. I've been coming here for about 4 years and I always stop in when I am in Yaletown. Not only does it have an unreal selection of cuban cigars, but they have so much more! I litterally just bought all my christmas presents there. From high end shaving products, to a great collection of Lampe Berger products. However, I could go to other places and buy those things, but, I come here. Why? -- Because the staff at this place is the best, they actually take the time to get to know their clients, they are local guys who care about their community, and care a lot about about their clients. I buy things from people I like. This shop is awesome, and I reccomend it to everyone I know, because it is a bit of a hidden gem! If you have to do any birthday, christmas or anniversary shopping for the man in your life, I highly suggest this place. read more

I picked up some classy gifts for the men standing beside me at my wedding this coming weekend. Awesome service, great atmosphere, and a ton of selection. Thanks, guys. read more

This is the BEST place to find the perfect gift for your boyfriend, husband, father or for any of the men in your life. I've bought my boyfriend gifts from Revolucion over the past 2 years and he loves them all! The guys that own the store are really knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful. I can't say enough about this place, they have everything from cigars, skin care, wallets, scotch glassware sets to beautiful watches and designer watch boxes. Honestly, buying gifts for classy men is a breeze at Revolucion! Will be coming back for sure :) read more

I went into Revolucion yesterday to buy my friend a gift and was helped by the lovliest guy! Super helpful and patient despite my lengthly indecisions! Their products are super classy and well priced. Definitely shopping there again! read more

Awesome selection, awesome service, awesome store. So many great things in there. Makes shopping for your guy easy!

I went in to buy a cigar and came out with an awesome selection as well as after shave and a cigar lighter. The staff is very knowledgeable, and honest helping you to find whatever you are looking for. I won't buy cigars anywhere else now. It's a one stop shop for cigar lovers alike. Highly recommended. read more

Great customer service as always. I've been here in the past a number of times. The person who served me went above as he realized he was out of stock on the larger size of the lampe Berger fragrance and gave me the same price of the 2 half liters or the cost of a full litre. Thank you :)) read more

Pleasant customer service and the gentleman educated me to some of the specifics of cigars. The place is in a good location and has a good variety if products. read more

This is a very cool man's store conveniently located in the Yaletown shops. Not only do they have a wall of Cuban cigars and other cigar accessories, but also shaving items, watch winders, cuff links, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember. read more
