Cigar Factory New Orleans

Cool place to chill and enjoy a great inhouse handrolled cigar … As you walk in you would see the master rollers at work … Enjoy

I’m a fan of handmade items and watching artisans at work. Cigar factories are particularly special to me since my family has a Tobacco farm. So coming in this shop was more nostalgic for me. I loved watching the entire process of how a hand rolled cigar is made. They’re so quick and precise. These people were friendly to chat with and explained the different types they had. They encouraged me to check out the humidifier room which I gladly did. I loved the cigar boxes and the match boxes. Too cute. They definitely let the good times roll in here. If you’re headed to New Orleans and spending time in the Quarter. Stop in this shop and pick up some handmade cigars for gifts for your cigar loving friends. Everyone gets beads but not everyone gets hand made long leaf cigars from New Orleans.

I love this cigar shop! The woman who was managing the shop did an excellent job handling business. She also educated customers on the process of making a cigar.
The guys on the cigar making table are legit; 3 guys making cigars in minutes from beginning to end. They work in a synchronized fashion and its amazing how beautiful the process is. Cigars run about $ 7.50−13 which is nice!
The atmosphere here isn’t stiff. They are welcoming and the place is laid back and casual. Anyone can come here.

Because and only because I think the cigars are not as good as other smoke shops. The last two times my cigars drew poorly, lacked taste and not memorable. Sorry. Will try other places before returning here. Thats that.

Disclaimer: I do not smoke cigars. (Or anything! Are you reading these, future employers?) BUT, I absolutely love the smell of cigars AND my dad is a huge cigar aficionado, so I always stop in this place when I’m in Nola just to get a whiff and a gift for dear ol’ dad.
As a cigar noob, I basically just walk in and wander aimlessly. Luckily, a knowledgable and kind employee always offers to assist me right away. The staff here is so great. They’re smart but not snobby. They really know what they’re talking about, and I never feel like I’m being duped.
The coolest part of this spot is watching them make cigars in-​house. The rolling process is absolutely fascinating. It’s worth stopping in to watch for a few minutes even if you don’t smoke! Just look at the hands of the older men who have been hand rolling cigars their whole lives. Those hands tell a story, and it’s fascinating in a lovely way.
You can find some great gifts for the cigar lover in your life here. Whether you want just an inexpensive cigar to smoke after a night at the bar tonight or if you wanna drop a couple hundo on a swanky gift for a groom-​to-​be, a new dad, or whatever occasion it is («Congrats on making it through a Wednesday!»), you can find something for every appreciator of cigars here! It’s conveniently located in the heart of the Quarter on Canal, so pop in while you’re shopping or bar hopping. Have fun!

Cigar Factory New Orleans is a treat for any cigar lover. You can find cigars in lots of places, but here you get to watch the artisans hand rolling the cigars, buy their cigars, and sit and smoke at your leisure. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable about the product and production.
These cigars have a mild, round flavor, not harsh or spicy. I’ve enjoyed their Vintage which is aged at least a year, their Maduro, and their Double Wrapped. The Double Wrapped was a fun cigar that started off smooth and finished with a bit more spice. And If you enjoy their cigars you’re in luck because you can also order them online.

This place is simply awesome. I drop by everytime I visit NOLA. Fresh cigars are great, the atmosphere is friendly, music is addictive and enjoyable. I love sitting in that one worn out chair, it’s very comfortable and the best seat in the house. I hope they never get rid of it!

I often stop here if I am having a touristy day in New Orleans. I’m not a cigar fan, but it is cool to go watch people roll them, and the smell is amazing. It si an experience to go and you should at least check it out.
Cigars make pretty good gifts too, and you probably know someone who is into them. It is good to have a little story behind the gift, and this place delivers on that front.
They have a huge walk in humidor, of course, and knowledgable staff will match a cigar to your tastes.
Go ahead and pick one up for yourself, after all, you didn’t come to New Orleans to have a *small* time…
(If you’re really into cigars though, there is a pretty cool shop on Magazine street too)

This place was awesome! One of the best I’ve visited!

There’s something mesmerising about watching these guys roll fresh cigars while smoking a cigar yourself. A MUST for the aficionado, and a cool experience even if you don’t smoke.

MMMMM good. The rich smell of tobacco is great counter to the outside muck. The selection is quite excellent and it is fun to watch the rollers make the cigars.
Ask for a fresh one, but remember to tip.
The prices are ok, in line with more famous brands but the experience and richness of the fresh cigars make it all worthwhile.

Hmmm… Its New Orleans and located in the French Quarter, its not a ritzy establishment, but if you want to see authentic cigar rollers in endless rolling action. Enter Cigar Factory New Orleans. I frequent here with my boyfriend a cigar lover-​fanatic, there is optional seating if you want to sit and people watch.

Really fun. Very authentic. Felt like we were in Havana.
You can watch 4 – 6 artisans making cigars by hand, buy one, sit down, smoke it, and listen to great Latin music.
If you like cigars, a DON’T MISS in the French Quartet.

Cool cigar to pay a visit to while in NOLA. The staff there are super friendly and very helpful. The cigars are hand rolled right on the spot. The humidor room has every thing you could possible ask for in a cigar.
Please note, there is nothing super fancy about this place but the quality of the cigars are great and the prices are more than fair. There are a few chairs and tables there so you can sit and relax while catching a breeze off the river.

I am NOT a fan of cigars, but the BF is, so of course I had to bring him. You walk in and there are two guys rolling cigars, which was neat because I had never seen that before. The two young guys working the counter were very helpful– one took us to the room with cigars and helped my BF pick one out and then helped me pick out a cigar for a newb. To my knowledge, the cigars were reasonably priced and tasty. They also have board games for you to play, which we did while we waited for the rain to pass. Would definitely recommend to visitors :)

Rolling cigars in the store, beer and the freshness. Near café du, what more, stop by get several if not you will ruin your day. Trust me…

I must say this is a very interesting cigar place the customer service is great I love how your able to walk in the shop and get first class service in the French Quarter. The prices are currently kinda high but we’ll worth it.

Stopped in for a gift for my beau. As a cigar novice, the employees here were kind to walk me through the ‘menu’ and to attempt to decipher his tastes. All I knew was that I wanted hand-​rolled, high-​quality cigars. I settled on a variety box which was well-​priced and would allow him to explore what he liked best from their numerous offerings. I didn’t feel pressured to buy, despite asking lots of questions and consuming a lot of time, and didn’t feel patronized despite my knowledge being minimal at best. Best of all, the beau was tickled with his gift.

Hand rolled cigars what more can you ask for. Excellent service, great group of employees

Cozy and comfortable, I really enjoyed chilling here for a little while.
I’m not really a cigar connoisseur, but I do appreciate trying one once in awhile when I’m with another cigar smoker.
This was a perfect spot to take a break from the hot day. The hand-​rollers were working hard. The environment is cool and comfortable. The smell is fantastic. It’s true– I love the smell of cigars.
