Excellent selection of cigars. Friendly people, reasonable prices. Plenty of other smoke/tobacco products, too. I will definitely be returning.

I've made HOC my go-to shop for cigar education and cigar experiences. Ivan and the owner are great and will take time to make sure you enjoy your cigar experience.

Just called to ask about some tobacco; the guy said they don't give out prices over the phone. Pretty weird, not sure how that's going to entice people to come. Is it a suprise? Is the price going to change when I come in? Nobody knows, it's a mystery

Amazing local shop, ran by cigar enthusiasts who always have a great suggestion. Even set a table and chair outside for me to smoke a cigar after my bike broke down in their parking lot.

Nice local shop w/ a good size walk-in humidor in the East County. Nice stop over on the way to a round of golf. I was very pleased to find a rare cigar I had been looking for. The Andalusian Bull, an absolutely beautiful stick. Ivan was helpful over the phone before I made a trip over to pick it up. He is usually always there to help out with questions. Anyway, most of the prices are fairly decent for a local shop. You can also get a freebie cigar if you buy (4). Although I do believe the Andalusian Bull was pretty steep. But I just had to try it.

Worst shop don’t come here. Most dry and unusable tobacco leaves I’ve seen. Complete waste of my money!

Best deals on cigars in San Diego. Also one of the best selections. They always have events going on with manufacturers. Store is a bit off the beaten path but its worth the trip.

Friendly staff with a pretty decent selection of cigars. Prices are competitive and not too high.

I've read some of the one-star reviews and understand their concerns, but I did not experience any of them. I found this place because I was passing through and needed a smoke for a long drive home. They had a good selection and was pressed for time, so I did not engage the person behind the counter for conversation or advice. I know what I like. I suggest shopping at this place. Smokey trails!

My 2nd time in here and will not go back. The first time I was being followed around the shop as I was looking around he asked what I was looking for. Felt I was being rushed or maybe thinking I was going to steal something. I got a few cigars and left. Came back in yesterday and again, the guy was rude, and being very unhelpful. I was looking for a Christmas gift but the guy was really rude and made me feel like I was bothering him instead of making a sale. I walked out empty handed.

Place where I get boxes of various brands monthly. Never any issues and always helpful. This is my go to cigar shop. The previous reviews are honestly just a lot of bitching over single cigars and uneducated smokers. Not every store will hold your hand, we as consumers need to try different brands, sizes, wraps and fills. For everyone, figure out light, medium and heavy, spicy, mild or center. Smaller gages equal less smoke versus fatty's like 55 plus. This is a family owned business, not corporate and I will continue to support them.
