OC Cigars

Hands-​down the best cigar shop in South Orange County with a nice comfortable lounge and large fully stocked humidor. They are located right next to Sprouts grocery store on the La Paz Road and OC cigars has been at the same location for about 15 years.

I came into this cigar shop to make a cigar purchase. I bought one and at first I thought the guy selling the cigar was awesome we talked more as I smoked the cigar. I brought up my religion (muslim) and almost instantly he became cold and eventually he asked me to leave. I was absolutely appalled by the bigotry. Needless to say, this establishment needs to get their affairs in order because nobody wants to go somewhere that will discriminate against them due to their religion

I read through a number of low scoring reviews because I frequent OC Cigars and frankly couldn’t understand why?
I’ve been purchasing my favorite cigars there for a little over two years now. They have as deep and varied selection of the finest cigars as any lounge I’ve visited. Their walk-​in humidor is maintained at the perfect levels. I’ve NEVER purchased a bad cigar. The guys that work there smoke cigars… and they KNOW a good cigar when they smoke one. Larry will tell you if a cigar has an easy draw; or is a medium or full bodied smoke… or if he thinks it’s a bit too spicy, etc.
The first time I entered their store a couple guys were sitting around chiefin’ a couple a stogies. I walked straight back to the humidor just to browse. It was a work day, and I simply wanted to see their selection. Larry came into the humidor after a minute with a smile and a friendly, «Can I help you?» I mentioned a smoke I had recently heard of with very high reviews from Aficionado. He simply turned and grabbed a box and opened them for me. I ended up buying a few (this cigar has become my favorite… absolutely yuh-​uh-​uh-​ummmmy!!!)
Since this is my favorite lounge I was compelled to write a review offering a rebuttal to the negative reviews. Maybe those other folk were having a bad day or somethin?
BOTTOM LINE… if you want a good — to great — to premium smoke… give these guys a look…7-days a week!
You want an inexpensive cigar and its accompanying hangover… try Bev Mo.

My first time coming here and first time buying a cigar. The person that help me was very helpful and friendly. I have a lot of selections especially what I was looking for. I have called around, not everyone carries Padron 1926 series 1. This place has it and very affordable. The place is nice and clean.
My boyfriend loved his gift. I will be back here again.

Larry is very nice and knowledgable but cigar prices are way too high. Owner wants to take advantage of customers, I would have gone back but prices are crazy! Not for me, there are many cigar places in Laguna Hills with high quality cigars and much better prices!

Bought a battery for my ecig, crap cheap brand battery, crazy price, no return policy (including ca state mandated)
Needless to say my fault for going to a cigar shop for something that requires knowledge and experience.

Stopped by to get something the other day. Middle of the day and noticed the open sign was off,… But the door was open. I walked in and there where 2 guys there.
As I started towards the walk-​in I got a distinctive «can I help you» that was abrupt and was rather strange — as well as a rather rude tone. I was surprised and taken a-​back as I have shopped at other cigar shops and not felt this unwelcome.
So I mentioned a common brand and was answered with an instant NO,.rather loud and rather strange as I was standing pretty close. I was getting the distinct feeling I was either interrupting a very secretive meeting or the shop disdains buyers.
So I asked if they had another very common brand that makes a «Beast» that I enjoy.
Again,.a fast and loud NO was shouted at me —
I figure if I’m going to spend $ 50 for single cigars,… Or browse for new items to try,… A shop owner would not have minded a buying customer.
Bummer on you,.and this shop.
And I enjoy nice cigars too.
This is not the shop to spend my $$ — or encourage others to come here.
I will never understand small shop owners that treat customers so badly,…then become angry and bitter that they aren’t being as successful in their business as they had once hoped for.
As I read other reviews — I see that I will not ever have a need to shop here again. I will try out the El Toro as suggested.
My regular shop is in Santa Ana and I have enjoyed bring new bottles of Rum or Tequila that we enjoyed together as we watched the game and puffed away.
But this shop? No way in double L hockey sticks will I return.
I would give it a zero star,…but then I can’t review,… So 1 is it.
I am happy the shop management likes and treats other customers well,.and glad they had 5 happy reviewers,… Maybe I just came in on a cranky pants day.

The selection is decent here but the prices on some of their sticks is just brutal. I guess its ok if you urgently need a single but even then I would rather go to tobacco barn in el toro, way bigger selection and an absolutely amazing staff over there. For a smaller cigar shop OC cigars will do in a pinch. But make sure you know what you want, where to find it and whether or not its in stock, they don’t like slow shoppers…

Had a quick bite next door at the Chinese food place and discovered this cigar shop which to my surprise has been in business for 15 years at the same location. Ended up buying a box for a discount. Gentleman who helped me was named Bart and was patient and helpful.

My husband buys a lot of cigars, and my daughter smokes cigarettes. My husband has commented that smoking a cigar is all about the experience and family friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately the last time my husband and daughter went in, she was going to have one cigarette. She was asked to smoke it outside, while my husband was in the humidor selecting $ 65.00 in cigars. My husband did not appreciate his daughter being excluded and said there are other cigars shops in the area that cater much better to diverse families with non-​smokers, cigarette smokers, and cigar smokers. Cigar smoking should be about the atmosphere and experience and this episode feel short of that.

Great place. Pleasent staff. Great selections!

If you’re in the area and in need of a good cigar, stop by and check out their selection. The humidor is perfectly set so your cigar will be perfect for smoking

Oh yeah, Baby!
Another first!
Woohoo!
Ok. Back to the review.
They have all my favorite brands.
Export A’s, Balishagg & Spring Water.
Plus other imported brands that I love to smoke.
Can’t say that about some of the other places that I go to get my smokes.
Oh yeah, and they’re VERY near to where I reside. So yeah. Even better.
