Baxter’s Cigars

Great selection. Great prices. Owner is very friendly and welcoming. People hanging out are cool. Highly recommended.

the best shop in the valley. Joe and Sug are friendly and helpful. Their prices are great, but the atmosphere is even better. One of the factors rarely mentioned that can make or break a cigar shop are the regulars. If the regulars are annoying it doesn’t matter how great the owner and manager are, you won’t want to stay. The regulars at Baxter’s are awesome. You will come by for cigars but you will stay because of the people. Don’t believe me? Follow Baxter’s on Periscope (@BaxtersCigars) to get an idea what an typical day is like.

Madie’s cigar recommendations were spot on. Just visiting AZ for vacation but would definitely make this my spot for relaxing with a stogie if I lived here. Thanks Madie for excellent customer service!

I have been coming here since Joe took over and the shop is great. The selection of cigars has been excellent but its the atmosphere that makes it. It doesn’t matter your level of knowledge or smoking experience you will feel welcome here. The customer base is varied and you will be able to jump into a conversation anytime and feel like you are welcomed. Its a comfortable lounge with all the amenities you expect, the staff will go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

First time visiting this location and ended up hang out for a while and smoking a cigar. This is a nice average Joe shop. Nothing fancy, just good cigars and interesting people

This a a great, welcoming place! Great folks with lots of knowledge. …the best in Phoenix. A home away from home.

Love this place!
Friendliest shop in The Valley.
I live 5 minutes from a very upscale & posh shop but, drive 29 miles to Baxter’s because of the atmosphere created here.
Joe the Owner & Madie the Manager make everyone feel like part of The Family they have created.
In addition to the phenomenal selection in their humidor the people who frequent this shop are amazing!
It is not uncommon to enjoy a smoke with friends who own, manage or work in some of the other Great shops in The Valley.

I was on a trip to Houston, TX for the cigar festival. It was an amazing time with all my close friends. With out a doubt we ended up talking about shops across the nation and then Phoenix came up. I had just recently moved to Phoenix about 4 months before and asked some of my friends who make cigars and some reps told me I had to go to Baxters Cigars. Then know how particular I am and how everything is about atmosphere to me! From the second I walked in, Joe the owner, was nothing but happy I was there. It was like we have known each other for 10 yrs and I was just kickin it with a homie. I started to go to the shop a lot and became super close with Joe and Sug the shop manager! (All I gotta say about Sug is she’s the god damn shit, and if you want to know about cigars ask her!!) … Enough said this shop is home and they are my family!!!

First met Joe at a local benefit for veterans; we talked for quite a while — he’s a totally engaging cat. I finally got around to visiting the shop (some 6 months later) and he remembered me, and the long trip I had to make to get to his shop — most of the typical «where you from,» etc. that most let pass, he remembered.
Enough about Joe, on to Baxter’s Cigars. This is a very laid back shop with a mix of lounge chairs and bistro tables that fit a wide range of styles. The humidor is a good size for the shop and is well stocked. Joe makes his guests (I hesitate to use the word «customer» because I felt more like a guest in his house) feel welcome and goes out of his way to accommodate those in his shop.
Overall, this was a great experience and I highly recommend Baxter’s Cigars.

One of the best cigar shops in the country for a few reasons. It’s small-​ish, but very nicely appointed and comfortable. The clientele is extremely varied in demographics, and very friendly. I always end up talking to people I’ve never met before. The shop staff loves what they are doing and it shows.
There’s a selection of the basic standard cigars everyone stocks, but then also a bunch of interesting and unusual stuff. You can BYOB as with most shops.
You won’t find a friendlier shop.

THIS PLACE! I hate to even write a review because I want it all to myself. I refuse to give any details. Ok. .Ok… There is a lot of smoke and ash and cigars and blue flames. Ok, that’s all you get.
I rate it 5 stars.
that’s all I’m saying.
Good bye.

Was in Phoenix for a wedding and wanted to get some good celebratory cigars. Maddie and Joe hoped with some great cigars, hooked me up with great travel humidor and spent more time than necessary looking at cutters. I’ll be back for sure and would send anyone looking for a great place to enjoy a good cigar.

Baxters is the example of great people and service. The owner (Joe) is the perfect host. Their love of great cigars and people make this the place to smoke and feel welcome. Their selection of cigars is excellent for all smoking profiles.

Awesome place with a huge selection of cigars. I was on my way to the airport to head home and had a couple hours to kill so I stopped in. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and I didn’t have any problems feeling right at home. Very cool spot, I will definitely come back next time I’m in Phoenix!

This place ROCKS. Used to live in the Valley and back this weekend for Spring Training (Go Giants!). Happened upon Baxter’s the morning before going to the game for a pre-​game cigar. Fortunate enough to meet Joe and (the smokin’ hot) Madie. ;-)
Friendly, unpretentious and welcoming. Will be returning to see the action at night. If you’re looking for a place with a great selection of cigars and a place that you will feel welcome, regardless if you’re a regular or a first timer, hit up Baxter’s. You won’t regret it.

Most friendly clientele ever. Staff fantastic great selection, if you want to relax, not be asked what you do for a living, where you live then this is the place to go. Open till the last cigar is smoked!

You want a cigar, and you’re somewhere in Phoenix? Drive on over to Baxter’s Cigars. Even if it’s a bit a way, I guarantee it’s worth the drive. Here’s why:
Selection: They have a good selection of all your standards. The humidor is well laid out and well stocked.
Lounge: They have a great lounge that feels like your front room. Not only is the staff quick to greet you, but ALL the other customers are just downright good people. You’re going to feel comfortable and welcomed the moment you walk through the front door. Two big screen TV’s playing sports, a fridge with water and soft drinks, and some really comfortable chairs are at your disposal. It’s not the biggest of lounges in the valley, but what they lack for in size is made up by simply being comfortable and cozy.
Customer service: Let’s face it, the Phoenix area is saturated with tons of places to grab and smoke a cigar. What sets Baxter’s apart is their employees and their attention to ensuring your time in the lounge is relaxing as possible.
Baxter’s has a pretty cool vibe to it. This is a great place for someone who’s never had a cigar and just wants to check it all out. Equally, great for someone like me that’s been smoking longer than I care to admit.

Love this place. Great staff and can always find a good conversation if you hang around to enjoy your purchase. Everyone I’ve met there goes out of their way to be inclusive and welcome, which is pretty unique as far as I’ve experienced.
The one occasion I’ve had a less than stellar purchase, Nikki went out of his way to make things right. That, as well as their great selection has earned them a regular customer.
The parking is a bit spotty at the moment, but should be better in a few weeks (I recommend parking in the north lot off Camelback until November). Pretty good eats nearby as well, and good places to grab some snacks or beverages before heading to enjoy a good smoke.
Can’t recommend Baxter’s enough!

Great place to hangout, with many amenities around the Towne and Country plaza. Great and friendly customer service with staff treating everyone with first class services, weather it’s the first time or frequent customer. Complimentary coffee and water is a plus too!

This is the most friendly and comfortable cigar shop I’ve been to. The service is great and the staff are very attentive. They treat you like family, only better. ;)
The energy is great and the seating is very comfortable. The regulars are really nice to chat with and there’s always something cool to drink.
It’s a man and ladies’ cave. Both will find it a fun and relaxed environment to cast off the day’s troubles.
The cigar selection is pretty broad and growing. You’ll find a lot of the old staples and new up and comers.
I highly recommend Baxter’s.
