House of Cigars

This place moved down the road and you can’t smoke in the cigar shoppe at it’s new location. Drove from Pittsburgh and purposely stayed a few blocks away because the pictures of the lounge looked awesome. The pictures were from the old place. Hugely disappointed and the guy behind the counter has the personality of a stump. He was more interested in watching whatever ‘B’ movie was on then help us find somewhere to smoke the $100 worth of cigars we just purchased and couldn’t smoke there.

Good selection of cigars bu no longer has a Lounge area

Nothing like the pictures on Google. It's a hole in the wall shop thats poorly organized. Brands are all over the place, not an actual lounge at all. The only dude in the shop was too busy talking to his babysitter about chicken nuggets and mac and cheese to give me the time of day.

The evening staff are quite friendly and personable. Atmosphere is decent. Well designed lounge with a nostalgic aesthetic, they also have a wide selection of foreign imports and some domestics, ranging widely in shape, wrap style, and taste. They even have a great selection of loose tobacco for pipes, which they also sell a nice selection of. Definitely worth a visit.

Large open space, by far the largest place to puff, the set up is great. Great selection, tons of decently cheap cigars. Not a big fan of there gift card policy. My wife bought me a $25 one for my birthday and I was told that if I didn't use it all at once, I would lose the remainder of my balance. I was hoping to be able to come back several different times to smoke since I don't have a humidor or an indoor facility to smoke in at home. For some reason, a few of the guys working there have a need to act macho, not sure why. I get man humor, coarse jesting and so on, doesn't seem wise with someone you don't know. Seems best to begin professionally, and as the friendship builds, you let your hair down. Wasn't a big enough problem to keep me away but enough that I don't go out of my way to go here.

It had been a while since I was last here, so there had been some significant changes. The selection was as fantastic as its always been. Instead of walk in humidors, they've switched to air barrier humidity control think about the open air coolers in grocery stores. Staff was fantastic as always, and were in a lively debate as to what beers go with what cigars, when I was there.

Meh... Sigh dude who helped me was in pj's n looked like he just rolled out of bed. Good thing I knew what I was looking for seeing as how my only 2 questions seemed to have inconvenienced him. Not to mention, who wants to buy cigars out of cigar boxes that are directly on the floor? But hey, nothing screams premium louder than buying a cigar directly off of a tiled floor! Not impressed...

The Best Lounge By Far Montecristo House of Cigar is ,by far, the best cigar lounge in Columbus. I have visited several lounge here in the city but there is none that has the variety in size, taste, and might add potency that exist at Montecristo House of Cigar. I strongly recommend any cigar connoisseur Churchill reincarnation to check it out. You will be delighted.

Knowledgable staff and great selection. Liked the old location a lot more but the new location is way nicer walking in. Not allowed to smoke inside at the new location but will still be stopping in for my cigars either way!

It is wonderful because this is one of the few places in the short north with its own parking lot. The employee was knowledgeable and able to help me as I know nothing of cigars and was wanting to get a nice gift for a new father. Turns out we did a great job selecting! They even had "It's a boy" cigars of a decent quality and a reasonable price!
