We, (my husband and I) entered the store and the clerk looked up and said "Hello Sir". ...Okay, well maybe he didn't see me. We went into the humidor and the clerk hovered over us and advised we couldn't touch or smell the cigars. They are all sealed in plastic! I'm certainly not going to buy a cigar that is rock hard, you have to feel them. And we certainly aren't going to try and steal them and shove them down our shirts while he's standing right there! Good Grief! We actually did pick some cigars that we had purchased in the past and liked. They cost over $500. I paid with my credit card. The clerk bagged up the cigars, handed them over to me without looking in my direction. As we walked out the door he said "Thank You Sir". ...Okay, that's just down right rude! I turned and replied, "Perhaps you should thank the person who paid!". We won't be back. There are plenty of other cigar shops in Calgary where you can get friendly service and not be treated as if you are going to steal something. read more

I had the best cigar shop experience ever. I will and would recommend that everyone patronize this shop. I contacted the shop via email to help me pick out some cigars for my boyfriend. I have no real cigars knowledge and Joseph's recommends were perfect. I got so many "girlfriend brownie points" for the cigars and the presentation was immaculate. I wanted to give my boyfriend a special gift that didn't included cupcakes for valentines and Joseph definitely helped me nail it. They hand delivered this glorious selection and my boyfriend couldn't wait to light one up. Smoked perfectly. Amazing customer service. I'm over the moon with the whole experience and cannot wait for another occasion to shop again. Trustworthy, quality, and reliable. read more

Zigarren - Cuban gift box - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Great selection of cigars from all name brands, at a fair price. The owner and staff are most helpful and friendly. There are a good selection of humidors and ash trays as well. Though I'm not a pipe smoker, Zigarren's selection of pipes and tobaccos is impressive. read more

Stopped in the shop while I was in Calgary for a few days to visit my sister. Being from US, this was a highly anticipated part of my itinerary, as it was my first opportunity ever to walk into a humidor stocked with Cuban cigars! I did my research prior to my trip, so the high Canadian taxes on tobacco were not a surprise, and my intent was to hunt down some special sticks that would be difficult to source elsewhere. Joseph immediately went to work asking all the right questions on what my humidor already had, and what I was after. A box of Canadian regionals was first in the cart. Then he pointed out a real gem - H Upmann #2 Reserva Cosecha. I was going to grab a few singles out of the remaining 8 in a box, when he said he'd give me the box discount if I take the whole enchilada. So glad he did that. I just had one last night and it was beyond my expectations, wow! Thanks Joseph! These guys know their craft and are super helpful. And they've got some real gems. Highly recommended as the shop to go to if ever in Calgary. read more

Great little cigar shop with knowledgable and very helpful staff. A fine array of excellent cigars at a fairly decent price.

What an amazing place. Was in Calgary for an extra day and I needed some pipe tobacco and supplies. I can't tell you how great this hm place was. Everything I needed was there, and more things I wanted as well. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

If you are looking for a one-stop premium cigar shop, this is it! Two full walk -in humidors contain an outstanding selection of Cuban, Nicaraguan, Dominican cigars plus an extensive selection of cigar accessories and humidors! The owner Joseph is very knowledgeable and an exquisite cigar aficionado! Prices are very reasonable as well. This is a must see location if you love cigars. You are in for a treat! read more

Zigarren - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I often buy cigars for gifts for some of my older experienced cigar smoking friends. I, however, have little to no experience about cigars. I do not know the difference between a $300 cigar and a $30 cigar. So, when I am needing to purchase a cigar for someone who is quite experienced in all that goes into smoking a cigar, I come here and do not have to worry about my purchase. The staff are all very polite and helpful, I never feel pressured to purchase a cigar priced out of my budget, and never suggested a cigar without a thorough explanation. (Which comes in handy after the gift has been opened and I attempt to impress with a minimal amount of information that I actually absorbed..) As well the staff is extremely attentive to their customers and I have always been approached before I need to ask for assistance. read more

Zigarren allegedly has the largest walk in Humidor in Canada, they have a huge selection of course but the prices are average to high with not much between the other walk in cigar shops nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful with some good knowledge of everything cigar related. Overall an excellent selection, the only thing stopping this place getting 5 stars is the prices! read more

Awesome cigar store...wonderful selection and great staff...Joseph knows cigars! Massive inventory of full boxes...well worth a visit

I am always greeted by friendly staff even if I am spending the smallest amount of money. The staff are knowledgeable, and very friendly. Selection is amazing, not surprising given the size of the humidor. A must-visit for anyone who enjoys a good cigar. read more

They are knowledgeable and have a great selection. Always happy to help steer you to a great cigar in your budget. The only criticism I have is that I suspect they don't control their humidification quite as well as they should. Every cigar I have purchased from them canoed. If it were only one brand that did it, I'd blame the roll or tobacco, but having had all of them canoe, I suspect it's because of uneven humidification. read more

Want to feel like a criminal? Step into this store. I had a good friend visit me in Calgary over the weekend whom I haven't seen in years. We both enjoy smoking cigars so we dropped into Zigarren cigar shop. When we entered the store I quickly picked up the 25 bundle which I always purchase there, the bundle was taken from my hands almost immediately because they don't like you handling anything. Don't dare touch a cigar in this store even if it is plastic wrapped, you will be asked to put it down immediately. My friend was browsing around looking for his usual brand of cigar, he naturally drifted away and left the first room entering the second room, we were now split up. This must be code red in the store, 2 shoppers in 2 different locations. Joseph Moon (owner?) came back to my side of the store and said I couldn't stay in that room any longer because I was by myself. I just gave the guy a bundle of cigars for me to purchase, now I was no longer allowed to stay in room by myself, are you FKM? I have never been to Willow Park Cigar shop, but I plan to visit them on my next purchase. read more

Biggest cigar humidor in Calgary, great selection. Best loose pipe tobacco blends in town.

When I visit Calgary I always see my friend Joseph Moon, owner of Zigarren. His store is a friendly place to visit and I can always find my favorite Rocky Patel Premium Cigars in his humidor. Do not miss this specialty tobacconist on your next visit to Calgary! read more

See all

What makes Zigarren my number one choice for pipe tobacco shopping is the staff. While they might not have the largest selection of house blends, or a large area committed to pipes, they do treat pipe smokers extremely well. The staff's passion for service, and their inviting atmosphere, more than make up for their lack of a wide variety. A small shop with a big heart. read more

Good location and very nice humidor that is well stocked. Two issues out of their control - Cuban rollers need to stop overfilling cigars and taxes. Did you know that most cigars are taxed at the maximum rate of $8 PER STICK! I picked up a nice Partagas Maduro - smooth and creamy as promised. For these two reasons I will continue to purchase gars when I travel outside Canada. read more

I'm not much of a smoker anymore but when I did smoke pipes I use to go to Sheffield & Sons in Chinook Mall. This Asian fellow owned it (forgot his name) and he was great. Most friendly person I've ever met behind a counter. Well he sold it and sure enough he opened up Zigarren. I didn't know he owned this place until I walked in one day and he recognized me....goes to show he values his customers! I hadn't seen this guy in a few years! Anyways he has quite a few cigars and nice selection of pipes. They can be pricey but hey this is pipes and cigars! Come on in and check out the art of smoking from a real nice guy! read more

I was looking for a pipe lighter, and the staff recommended one for me, which I took a risk and bought. It has turned out to be marvellous, since I am left-handed and smoke outside in the wind and extreme temperatures, (thanks to the government oppression of freedoms in Alberta). I highly recommend this store. read more

One of the best humidor experiences I've had. Sunny not only helped me pick out a handful of cubans while I was in town, but also helped me figure out where to have dinner. Both were excellent! Would recommend and will return if I ever get back to Calgary. read more

Amazing selection and service. Joseph was inviting and when I'm in town I will always stop in.

Always great service! I enjoy Vega Finas, CAO Cameroons & Macanudo Maduros. I like the Maduros for those cool spring days when a longer smoke may be uncomfortable. Joseph will assist you to find the right cigar for you at a price that is affordable. Try a Roberto Duran for about $9:00. And remember: a cigar is a cigar, but a good cigar is a smoke! read more

They have a good cigar selection but are short on manners and helpfulness. I asked a few questions and didn't get much of an answer or much help exploring their selection. read more
