The selection is decent. The prices are average for what you would expect in a resort village. Overall, this is a good place to buy Cuban cigars in Whistler. Unfortunately, I was expecting a Cigar Lounge atmosphere but apparently the local laws prohibit smoking indoors. On an interesting note, the shop is colocated with a 2-chair salon and massage services.

Gone twice and both times got over priced dried out cigars. Joked that I should bring cigars from the city thinking how can I get burned a second time. Should have took the joke serious and brought one up from the city. Don't get your cigars from here unless you want over prices and dried out cigars. Bring your cigars from the city.

This place is awesome. You can go in there and chat with the staff about cigars for hours on end. The owner is really cool. They have a Cuban cigar called the Behike, and it's by far the best cigar I've ever smoked. I order it every time.

Also, cheap smokes and cool lighters.

I'll be back!

What a great concept. My wife booked us some massages upstairs in the spa. On the way out I decided to pick up a cuban cigar for new years eve. After chatting for a few minutes the barbershop opened up at the front of the store and my wife decided it was time clean me up. Great staff and atmosphere. Too bad you can't smoke or drink... I would have never left!

Always the best time sitting back relaxing as Jon hooks me up with the sleeekest cut. Honestly been here a few months and this boy is the go to if you need that lil extra. Patient, funny, welcoming and the vibe of the shop is just like home. Definitely give them a visit.

Came in today to buy some vape juice since I forgot mine back in Vancouver. I picked up a 30ml of Whistler Vapes Carnival flavour (cotton candy) although I asked for a 10ml and didn't realize it was the wrong one until after I left. I primed my coil and used it 20 minutes later but the flavour was bad so I assumed it was just my coil since it needs replacing soon (tasted like burnt cotton). Got back to Van, primed a new coil and put it in my Lux mod.
Absolutely destroyed my coil. The batch is either bad, or the juice in general is not good.
Few things I noticed with the bottle:
1.) The label is not CCCR/CPSA compliant
2.) The ratio of propelyne glycol to vegetable glycerin is unmarked (harsh flavour/lung hit)
3.) Nicotene is not properly mixed

For $27.00 a bottle which is beyond overpriced anywhere in BC, it is a complete rip off and shouldn't even be sold.

For anyone who is unfamiliar, improper labeling/juice batches and juice numbers were inspected by health Canada when the CCCR came into affect 6-8 months ago which means the juice is old and the Vape store owner is not following proper protocol.

My fault for not checking this before leaving the store or making the purchase. So for anyone needing Vape juice, PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND DO NOT BUY VAPE JUICE HERE!!!

Been getting my haircut here for nearly 2 years. Arrived 5 minutes late for a hair appointment and they gave away my appointment without receiving a call. Then this new employee cutting hair has the cheek to tell me you have to turn up 5 minutes early! This has never been a rule for all the time I ve been here, it s only your first bloody week in the job mate! Will go elsewhere in future.

I want to love this place. I really do, but while I was there I looked at their higher end cabinet and discovered their whole back cabinet had white mold on their cigars. At first I thought it was condensation, but after looking closer I realized almost all the cigars in that cabinet had mold on them.
This honestly wouldn't have been that big of a deal if it was dealt properly. The problem is after informing the store worker of it, no one really flinched, they just essentially ignored it and moved on. I looked pretty closely and I thought perhaps it may have been cigar plume, but it did appear a little more fuzzy then most plume I've seen. If some one from the shop closer inspect one for peace of mind it would've brought comfort, but no one did after mentioning it.
I love this concept and love the simple layout, just can't let it slide that they had moldy cigars on the shelves for sale.
