MonteCristo House of Cigar Review

It took me a couple times to find this place. But we'll worth it. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.
They always have CO'S in stock. Great selection . It is the only place I go now.

Great selection. Great staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Comfortable laid back place to smoke also.

My first time here. I was in Columbus on a business trip with my partner and turned out that my partner knew the owner this place is out of this world great selection great people great staff great owner great everything

Great service. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. The whole place is a humidor - crazy!

Nice selection of cigars, then an entire side room to burn your cigar and have a drink.. Nice place cigar lovers should definitely try this place

Pile them high and sell them cheap. Masses of cigars that don't look particularly well looked after. You could find yourself smoking something OK or something that's a year old and dry as bone.

Probably my favorite place in Columbus to get cigars. The people who work there are always nice and helpful! Every stick I've picked up has always been properly humidified and they carry cigars a lot of places don't have.

Cigars where great. The environment was okay, if you like smoking and watching the game! This is your place!

Very friendly reddit could use a better exhaust system.

Used to be my favorite cigar spot, but the exhaust system no longer works well. Last time I was there, I could barely see around the room. That wasn't the case previously, and it's not the case when I visit other cigar lounges.

Stellar cigar, hookah and pipe tobacco selection. The staff are gregarious and helpful and the smoking lounge is relaxing.

The only place i cigar shop love the 2 for 10 table great guys at tha shop if your unsure of what to try just they'll point you in the right direction

Wide selection of cigars and hookah. Buy to take with you or head over to the adjacent lounge and enjoy your smoke with a drink. The lounge is poorly ventilated though and it can be quite smokey.

Great staff, know their stuff, very good selection, an 8 out of ten, no place has everything, great location & prices are in line. The lounge area has an old school feel.

Chad is the man always makes great cigar recommendations for whatever price range I provide. Comfortable spot to grab a stick or hookah.

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.

Living in the middle of Ohio you can't find a better place to browse and purchase Cigars. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly are all right here. (Meaning that in a Five Star way.)
The Cigar Connoisseur Was Very helpful and Patient as well, answered all my questions and gave some good suggestions. ( But not in a Used Car dealer kinda' way.)

Huge selection of cigars. Staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions.

This place is terrible ... we parked here because we were going to go in after my friend went to get her credit card she left next door ... someone working came out and started taking pictures of the license plate and saying he was going to send them to the police ... my friend came back 30 seconds later and we decided we didn't want to go into this place with a guy threatening us over one parking spot when the whole rest of the lot was full... get over yourself.

Extremely friendly staff and a wonderful selection of cigars and pipe tobaccos make Montecristo one of the gems of the short north

Went in to buy a cigar to celebrate. The one guy sitting at the counter barley said hi. I made my way back to the humidor to find it was wide open. Looking at different options, they were poorly labeled and not priced. Looked at a few that appeared to have mold growing. Decided to grab one that was pre-packaged in plastic to avoid the mold. Sat down to enjoy it and it tasted horrible... Like mold. Guess the pre-packaging didn't help. Ended up throwing it away. Won't be going back. Sad because I was looking for a cigar shop for a wedding.

Very helpful staff and great selection of cigars! They have hookahs too!

Good selection and you can smoke purchase in the lounge.

Nice smoking Lounge good place to relax and catch a sporting event on TV good selection of cigars hookah offered also

Very nice lounge area and Huge selection of cigars.

Very large selection of cigars and pipe tobacco. Nice selection of cigars on sale (2 for $10) and helpful staff.

When I was here, I had no idea what I was looking for, but the staff was helpful and quickly helped me to select a cigar that was right for me. The lounge area feels more appropriate for hookah than cigars, but all in all it was a good experience.

The staff is friendly and helpful you can smoke in their lounge and watch any game or movie you like

A really nice chill place to just sit back and have a cigar downtown. The gentleman working and Kurt really knew his stuff and help me find some good smoke. Definitely going to come back, definitely recommend checking it out. There's a huge selection of cigars.

The best selections for me. Cigars and pipe tobacco

Great place to hangout and smoke. Nice big and open lounge. Doesn't feel like you're sitting in a cloud of smoke. Awesome selection of cigars. They have a discount section too. Byob as well so you can enjoy a hard drink to compliment your smoke.

Dope spot, chill atmosphere. An "anybody's" place. Loved it!

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.

Dry cigars and poor ventilation. Good selection, but whats the point if you cant keep them fresh.

Huge diverse selection and great lounge. Awesome place to unwind and smoke some cigars or hookah alone or with friends.

In general, the stogies here are a couple bucks more than other retail stores, but you're paying for the ability to smoke in the lounge. Drink prices are high. Lots of hookah smokers. But you can't beat the location. Tip: don't buy from outside the sliding glass humidor. The stoags are usually dried out.

Always find what I want and don't forget the 2 for $10 cigars in the middle of the shop. I always score there. Thanks again guys.

Visting from South Fla.. Nice cigar spot. #HallandaleFla

Really good selection but I found the staff quite rude.

I was dropping off customers for the cigar shop for a bachelor celebration, but my customers decided to get drinks first at the bar next door. As soon as my riders emptied my vehicle a guy came to my window and was trying to intimidate/harass me with who he knows (CPD, lawyers, politicians) and that he would take my plate # so I won't turn in his parking lot. Mind you, I was just dropping off potential customers for his shop and not parking.

I do not have the time to argue with the foolish and told him I know people as well. He further went on to try to belittle me by saying to read his sign, it's third grade skills. To his disappointment, I am a teacher and would be happy to teach him a reading and writing lesson by the looks of his replies to these reviews.

I did reach out to my riders to recommend that they read all of the reviews, especially from the real cigar connoisseurs and to take their business to a more professional and respectable establishment like Governors Smoke Shop in Westerville.

Great selection and very helpful staff. Daniel was super knowledgeable and spent quite a bit of time helping me find a variety of good choices

I'm a cigar guy. And to be honest, the hookah crowd ain't my thing. But the selection and 2 for $10 section is excellent. The lounge is desperately in need of some TLC. Take a look at La Chaveta playbook, and do the same, guys.

If you love cigars and are visiting Columbus, this is the place.

Great selection of cigars, good atmosphere, and knowledgeable staff

I travel alot for work and this is one of my cigar shops I always hit along the way. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Sean even let me stay over while I waited to have sandwich delivered because I hadn't had time to stop for dinner. Ample seating, large selection and upgraded temp and humidity control. Great Midwest shop that will continue to have my business

Had a huge selection I'm new to Cigar smoking staff was very helpful

Found multiple cigars covered in mold. Purchased a cigar and it was extremely dried out. Don t waste your time.

Good selection and friendly knowledgeable staff. Answered questions and made suggestions without wanting to pressure you into buying. Will come back when I'm town

Great guys and definitely experts in their industry!

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.

Always a decent place. Good patrons, not much parking though. I enjoy a good Maduro when I can and they have the best. Stick around for a while if you are a new customer. Enjoy the atmosphere. Mostly sports on the TV's.

I went for a hookah and the man I assume is the manager or owner was not the most friendly. Minus that I did get a decent hookah. The man who helped me originally I believe was new and and helpful. I never see the same people working there.

Did not seem to be a welcoming place. Cigars have mold on them. I was watching a TV and the employee walked over and changed it to what he and his buddies wanted to watch. Their were a few tvs so he did not have to turn them all. Won't get my money again.

Very great place I've always had a wonderful experience the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and they have a wide variety of cigars! If you ever get a chance to stop by it's a great experience and don't forget to ask for Wade he is very helpful and very friendly!

Love this place and Wayde makes it what it is!!! Going there for years!!!

Awesome selection. BYOB. The guys here are great! First class service. Great vibe. Parking out front. Can t get any better than that.

Same thing happened to me I got harassed for dropping customers off in this guy's parking lot he approached my car before he even knew where I was going or what I was doing and said this isn't the bar can't park here and proceeded to scream in my window. This man has a serious issue do not give him any more business

Highly recommend to buy a cigar for my boyfriend he enjoyed it a lot. A big selection

Dirty and dusty. Huge selection that I wouldn't visit again. Sorry, guys. Clean up.

Biggest cigar selection in Ohio and Wade is very helpful and knowledgeable
