Decent place. While visiting on business I wanted a cigar and a place to smoke it. Uhle's provided both. Good cigar selection and fair pricing. Not a lot of beverage choices; I don't think they served alcohol. Service was good enough. The lighters weren't filled, which was odd but they had someone there lighting our cigars. Rather light my own, but as long as it gets lit, right? Overall experience was average. Not a lot of comfy leather chairs, not too spacious but we lucked out on our visit - not a lot of people there at that time. Wanted a cigar and needed a place to enjoy it and Uhle's delivered. read more

What a great cigar place this is!! We walked in for La Aroma De Cuba cigars, and were immediately greeted by a gentleman- Elijah. He was amazing, he led us right to the nicest display and inventory of La Aromas we've ever seen!! Elijah welcomed us and made us feel so valued as customers! I highly recommend this great place !!! Love it here !! read more

Decided recently to explore cigars and found that Uhle's is a grandfathered establishment that is allowed to have cigar smoking indoors. Having known nothing about cigar smoking before my first visit, I was given a rundown of choices, provided a cigar to help sort a flavor profile, taught how to properly light a cigar, and hung out with the eclectic community of good people. It was a great time! I will say, this place does get hazy with the smoke (it's my only complaint). But do not let that deter you. There are options to enjoy a cigar overlooking the river right outside. Do not be afraid to say "I am new to this." Everyone started somewhere and these folks will get you right without blowing the bank out the gate. And you need only buy one cigar and you can freely enjoy it indoors. There's even free coffee and water should you need. Street parking hasn't been too much a problem on my subsequent visits, but none is located right out front of the shop. read more

I've been a fan for many years and enjoy their namesake sticks via the mail, always stocking up to avoid shipping in hot weather. The staff there is stable: no revolving door of people you never heard of. Always friendly and personable, even when I call 90 seconds before closing time :). If you ever get a chance to get to know these people, either by phone, online, or in person, spend the time. You will not be sorry. Milwaukee is a long, long way away from me but it's on my bucket list! read more

I went to Uhle's Tobacco Co on 12/2/2022. The gentleman who assisted us had a Burberry scarf and a beard. He embodied what true customer service is. He was pleasant and is very knowledgeable about cigars, and had excellent recommendations. He was very personable and easy to talk to. I will be returning to Uhle's due to this interaction. If you find yourself in Milwaukee and need to find cigars I would recommend Uhle's Tobacco Co. read more

So, this place gets five stars. I love the ambience here, but it's different than other places I have patronized in the past. It gets five stars for a few reasons. 1. It's a place you can either bring friends or make friends. 2. The owner is very engaged and is around to talk to. 3. Their humidor and selection is very good. I'll be spending a lot of time here. read more

An old school tobacco shop. Great service from staff! Small lounge space but decent selection of cigars. Bonus, they blend their own high quality pipe tobacco. Worthy just for the ambiance. read more

They have a huge selection of cigars and pipe tobacco. The staff was very informative and helpful. I recommend a visit for a pleasant smoke.

Very nice selection, very friendly & knowledgeable about cigars. The only pull back is the smoking area is rather small.

Nice little tobacco shop with good selection and quality service in Brady street neighborhood

Nice cigar shop. Historic. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Small but rustic lounge. Free coffee! Pretty good selection, but no walk-in humidor. Great place! read more

A great place for a smoke in a beautiful setting. Everybody over there is wonderful highly recommend it

Super chill man cave! Ownership takes pride in that as well they should. Good selection of stogies and very helpful staff. Highly recommend!

My first time going into a cigar/pipe shop was very interesting. They have a huge collection of pipes from corn cop to long stem pipe. The people working there were very friendly and helpful. I liked how they have a private members only room for them to smoke freely. What really peaked my interest was how you can sample pipe smoking for only 50 cents. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is a fan of cigars and pipes and who is not afraid to smoke like a boss. read more

I've been to a lot of cigar shops in a lot of states and the staff here is prolly the friendliest and most welcoming I've encountered! If I lived in this area this would be my go to spot for sure. Free coffee and water is a bonus as well read more

When life hands you lemons, I say light up a cuban seed cohiba and let the stress melt away. Well, I never have actually never said that. In fact I'm not a big cigar smoker but in the event that I become a father, attend a bachelor party, or get involved in a high stakes poker game I would head on over to Uhles Pipe Shop to load up. This store is a Milwaukee institution originally founded in 1939 by John Uhle, although located on Michigan Ave two blocks away from the current location. Uhle's keeps alive the long standing, culturally entrenched use of tobacco to relax, enjoy the company of ones compatriots, and even conducting business. Like an urban golf course. Uhle's has a great collection of cigars, pipes, pipe tobacco, and other accoutrement. The sales associates are quite knowledgeable. Also, there is a back smoking room where you can enjoy some indoor smoking. They also permit you to bring your own alcohol. Bonus! So sit down next to an autographed picture of Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, or Harry Connick Jr. and strike a match! read more

Uhle's is a full-service tobacconist and smoke shop. You can find everything you could possibly want by way of pipes, cigars, tobacco, and accessories. Customer service is top-notch. What really stands out about Uhle's is their house-blended pipe tobaccos. I'm a huge fan, and regular smoker, of their aromatic blends. Consistent, flavorful, and very, very good smoking. If you like aromatics, I recommend Blend X, Black Stoker, and the House blend. Although I live in Chicago and could patronize Iwan Reis, I much, much prefer to get my pipe tobacco from Uhle's when I visit Milwaukee. They'll ship their tobacco, too. One of the best things about Milwaukee. read more

How can a non-smoker bestow the "Yay! I'm a fan," four-star rating upon a smoke shop... a place that sells the stuff that I now cannot stand? (Cigars and smokes and blech blech blech! Blech.) Plz explain, RF. Two reasons: 1. Non-cigarette smoking smoking culture (cigars, pipes) seems ridiculously classy and classily ridiculous to me in this antiquated, old boys' club kind of way. Don't get me wrong... this too is also gross, but sometimes, people like to smoke cigars when babies are born or whatever. And while pipes may evoke thoughts of dudes in top hats going hunting with dogs that can smell things really well, or some Masterpiece Theatre kind of nonsense, there's a place for it. This place, because, well... some people dig it. For those people who dig tobacco in the more lofty sense of the word who happen to reside in and around Milwaukee, Uhle's is it. Knowledgable staff, tons of product. Old-timey awesomeness. 2. I used to smoke, many, many moons ago. I loved it. I hate it now, but I loved it then. And then? My favorite were the French cigarettes Gauloises, and I could never find them anywhere. Except Uhle's. See? read more

This is a tobacco shop I wasn't disappointed in checking out, as I happened to pass it while spending time in downtown Milwaukee in October this year. The selection of pipes, cigars, pipe accessories, and other tobacco items definitely didn't disappoint, and would be a very ideal place for someone into smoking cigars or pipes to shop at. (albeit I'm not a cigar or pipe smoker) Staff is very friendly here, and they even have a website where you can browse the products they sell. Very cool to think they've been in business for about 7 decades, but also be aware beforehand that they're closed on Sundays. read more

I have been coming here for years now on and off but for the last month I've been here a few times each month enjoying the member's lounge (if you buy a cigar there, you are a "member" to enjoy it in the back lounge). I've been visiting other cigar lounges in the area and Uhle's is the only proper one in Milwaukee proper. Parking is a pain since of where it is located but after you find parking and walk in, the staff is always friendly and helpful. The selection is in the counter units with a humidor for infused cigars, and a side wall humidor that has some of their house-blends and other styles. The selection isn't the best in the greater Milwaukee area yet it is the best selection in Milwaukee proper. The staff is more than willing to help you pick out a cigar if you tell them what you like/don't like, price point, occasion, etc. They will teach you proper cutting technique and provide different lighters for you to try. The staff really loves working here and will tell you all about the building, the history, cigars, etc. The back lounge gets packed quickly since it can only seat around 5 or 6 people yet you can stand or sit at one of the bar height stools in the pipe tobacco area or up front by the cigars. There is a downstairs "private" lounge if you come in with a group that you can go down there. Definitely worth a stop in if you're in the area to enjoy a nice smoke. read more

Pretty sweet smoke shop on Wisconsin Ave. I happened to notice this place in passing one day while wondering where I could go to replace the tobacco missed while living in Texas. On a whim, I popped in and loved the place. I'm not a hardcore cigar or pipe smoker. Cigars are one of those things I'll do when it's a part of the current distraction (bachelor parties, poker night, my last date with your sister, etc) but pipes are more interesting to me. Growing up, I had a grandather who smoked one and the nostalgia from smelling pipe smoke is something I adore. I picked up a pipe while stationed in San Antonio and was given a starter education at a great shop there. As a novice, I've found the staff at Uhle's to be extremely friendly and helpful with my 1001 questions about care, pipes and tobacco. As I understand it, their tobacco pricing is very reasonable, as is the selection and quality. I'd highly recommend coming here for at least an introductory visit. read more

I needed to purchase some cigars as a birthday gift for my brother recently. I took to Yelp to find the best cigar shop and it appears it's Uhle's by the mile. I couldn't agree more. I am completely clueless when it comes to cigars. Truth be told, I do enjoy one every now and again but I'd be hard pressed to recommend anything outside of Macanudo's or H. Upmann's . I love the smell and the heavy dense smoke that envelopes you. So I needed to rely on an honest reputable business to help me with my purchases. I walked in equipped with a single Brand name to help me complete my mission. The first thing I noticed was the aroma, a customer was smoking a cigar near the cash register an it wafted up to me. One of the staff immediately sensed I was out of my element and asked, to my relief if he could help me. My biggest fear was going to a Cigar Shop and being condescended to by a snob for my lack of knowledge. He was very friendly and down to earth and put me at ease immediately. I told him I wanted to buy a gift for someone at that all I knew is he liked "Acids". He knew the brand, brought me over to the grouping and explained the differences in the cigars and also made some suggestions. He was spot on, after opening the gift my brother exclaimed that they were his favorites. While he was ringing me up I notices a display case of cigarettes and noticed they had packs of Djarum Cloves. My eyes lit up, I had heard they were not legal to sell anymore. I inquired about them and he explained they made some changes to get around the laws and make them legal to sell again. Score! I cannot recommend Uhle's enough whether you're a cigar illiterate as I am or a connoisseur you will be pleased by the level of service and the selection they have to offer. read more

Great shop overall. Friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of cigars. Atmosphere was excellent.

Wait! I don't even like cigars! So what am I doing in a cigar shop?! The folks at Uhle's were nice, friendly, and let the non-smokers hang out and shoot-the-bull with them. I know nothing of cigars but they seemed to have a big selection, along with all types of cigar and pipe accessories. The little lounge area is quite nice and a great way to meet some locals. On a recent visit, Uhle's became our meeting spot (because that's where we could find Andy M.) so I was there at least three times in one day. Again...I don't even like cigars! But this place was just so fab. read more

I'm not much of a smoker. But when I do, I go to Uhle's. Actually, I wouldn't consider myself a smoker at all but I do fancy the occasional pipe. So when it came to purchasing a pipe of my own, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. A friend and I went here after discovering our mutual interest in learning more and that's exactly what we did. Walking in, we directly headed to the wall of pipes where a staff member met us and explained the different styles and purposes we could find. Being the novices that we are, this was extremely helpful and I'm glad the staff was patient enough to talk us through what we could purchase (even if we were straying away from the more expensive ones). If you don't have the luck like we did finding help - don't be afraid to ask! They will definitely take the time to guide you. I know their hours are posted outside, but it's always difficult for me to tell when they're open. The way the store is laid out, you wont see too much light shining through the window. If they look closed, check before making an assumption! If you're looking for pipe tobacco, Uhle's has a variety of blends available and canisters to sniff before purchasing. They also have your typical pre-packaged tobacco if you have an old favorite or are looking for the blend grandpa use to smoke. Friendly service? Nostalgia? Old fashioned smoke shop? Sign me up! read more

Very nice atmosphere. The tobacconist was very knowledgeable and the selection was very nice, you could really get whatever you wanted (mostly). Nice place to sit and have good conversation with good people. Thank you!! read more

You're reviewing a pipe shop? Whaaaa? OK so my bf got turned on to a once-in-a-while cigar while visiting the Keys and just chilling outside with a glass of wine. So, we thought we'd see what was in our backyard and lo and behold, Uhle's. This place seems to be a mecca of all things tobacco. They do not have a humidor - instead the cigars are in individual cases like back in the day. When we stopped in, there were a few people relaxing with a drink from the bar next door and smoking inside (the only drawback for me - I can't stand the smoke, and 10 minutes in here made my hair and my jeans stinky). 4 stars is for the amazing knowledgeable staff. The gentleman who helped us really asked good questions to see what we might like and when I was hesitant about a cigar he thought I would like, he said I could have it for free and then come back for more if it was what I wanted (bonus!). Def will be back here anytime I need a gift, etc. read more

Uhle's Tobacco Co. sells the best tobacco in Milwaukee. Not only that, your staff is very knowledgeable and can assist you in selecting the product of your needs whether you be a novice or advanced the tobacco aficionado I highly recommend this place read more

This is the go to spot got cigars that are close by for a nice walk at night. The staff is always friendly and polite to answer question and offer suggestion read more

As a business traveler, I always google the city I am visiting and "Cigar" to find a freindly place to enjoy a nice smoke and meet locals. I found Uhle's a couple years ago and since then have always made it a stop when in Milwaukee. Good smokes, a freindly atmosphere and good company. Highy recommended. Another beneift about this shop is that you can open a tab and get a drink at Stir (a bar in the same building through the back door) and enjoy a nice drink with your favorite stick. Enjoy! read more

after getting back in the cigar world in the last 2 years I learned two valuable lessons this week. the first one was I went to place an order from an online company that was offering a 30 percent off coupon which as it turned out was only good on there low end brand and not offered on any of the good higher end brands I was interested in, so I wasted about an hour checking out only to realize it it was a promotion that draws you in but doesn't apply to most cigar smoker. the second lesson was I went to another large cigar store in Milwaukee and got the worst custoner service and none of the 3 employees smoked cigars so they couldn't describe any of the taste profiles other than to say what the bestsellers were. the moral of the story is Uhle's is Milwaukee's Crown Jewel of cigar stores with the highest level of customer service as a store like Nordstoms. Combined with unbelievably product knowledge and huge selection. we're so lucky to have such great retailers in our town! read more

No better place to smoke a cigar indoors than at Uhle's. The employees are knowledgeable and helpful, the cigars are top-notch, and the lounge is perfect. You can bring your own alcohol and they provide the cups. The "members only" lounge is open to anyone who purchases a cigar, and it's a great place to meet people, exchange business cards, and chat. Real Milwaukee treasure here. Check it out. read more

My 1st. Time in Milwaukee and went to checkout Uhle's cool place everyone was was super helpful! Picked up a couple of sticks if there local brand! Nice place to check if you are in downtown Milwaukee! read more

This is one of the best cigar shops I have had the pleasure of visiting and has quickly become a second home for me. The staff knows their products and the customers are fantastic. There is always a cigar for whatever my mood, and the men's and women's behind the counter are happy to help. The regular crowd is a fantastic mix of people from all walks of life and a great representation of the city. 5/5! I will always come back! read more

This may be one of the easiest reviews I've ever had to write. I made three trips to this establishment in one day. In other words, I couldn't get enough of this Milwaukee Gem. Uhle's can be described in two words, MAN HEAVEN!!!!! The Gods of Cheese and Bernie Brewer were smiling on me on my trip to Sconni (Wisconsin for the uninitiated). Our hotel was 100 yards from Uhle's front door. On my first visit of the day, I purchased a couple of lovely Ashton's and a CAO La Traviata. Then later in the day, my wife wanted to go shopping across the street, so instead of getting caught up in the hell that's Black Friday weekend, I happily headed back to Uhle's to smoke a delicious Fuente. After our late lunch, the ladies wanted to go back to the room to freshen up, so me being the Gentleman that I am, I stayed out of their way and headed back to (you guessed it), Uhle's to smoke another Ashton. On my last visit, the staff was taking bets that my Credit card wouldn't work due to the five purchases I made that day, but my Chase card worked like a charm. The Staff is wonderful. They all share the same love for Cigars that I do. They really know their shit. Based on what I purchased, they introduced me to some new Cigars that were right in line with what I like to smoke. The store was stocked to the nines with all of my favorites. They had a wide variety of Ashton's Guhrka's and Rocky Patel's. The prices were at least 20% cheaper than the high end smoke shops in Chicago. The smoking lounge is small but comfortable. A Cigar lounge is only as good as the people who smoke there. The crowd at Uhle's were friendly and fun. They made my visit a wonderful experience. The Bottom line is: If you are looking for a five star Cigar experience at a affordable price, head on down the Uhle's. The staff is fun, friendly and really know their Cigars. The smoking lounge is a wonderful place to light one up and relax. I doubt if there will be a future trip to Milwaukee where I won't stop by and pick up a few sticks. read more
