Fat Stogies Cigar Lounge

A little intimidating to come in as a girl alone bc apparently this is the boys’ clubhouse– BUT the owner was very gracious and helpful immediately and made me feel so comfortable.
He helped me pick a nice gift for a friend. Thank you!

Chill own. Nice vibe. No pressure. Left me alone in the humidor. Good selection. Nice atmosphere. I’ll be back.

This has got to be the most roomy Cigar Lounge I have seen in the LA area. I don’t exactly know what their prices are like compared to other joints. But it is definitely the most comfy spot I have been to.

I like this place, stopped in for a night cap after dinner on Wednesday.
They have a great selection and a solid lounge area. I just wish they stayed open a little later as did the other 20 people being kicked out.
Chances are, I will be back to load up my humi.

The store is beautiful, the chairs are comfortable, the atmosphere is refreshingly adult, and the choice of cigars are top notch. I’ve been trying to find a new cigar lounge to frequent and saw this store in passing from the street. A week later I went with a friend of mine and tried it out. The owner of the store recommended two very good and afforable cigars, taking to mind our request for something that was enjoyable, and not too harsh. His picks were spot on. Overall, I had a splendid time.
The only thing keeping my review from hitting 4 or 5, is the «CEO» of Fat Stogie. At least I think he’s the «CEO» because the baseball cap he wore had the letters «CEO» printed on the side. That, and he kept referring to himself as the…“CEO.” I can only assume he worked there in some sort of capacity because he was wearing a Fat Stogie shirt and helped himself to two or three cigars. I lost count. I have a very established tradition when it comes to my cigars. I like preparing them a certain way, I like lighting them a certain way. The «CEO» went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed the cigar I had just purchased with my money, HIS way. He then went on to tell us about how he made $ 136,000,000.00 in the new movie about the earthquake coming out. He proved this by taking off his gold watch, gold necklace, plethora of rings, and his Hollywood keychains, and dropping it all on the table we were sitting at. It was an awkward experience, to be sure.
Gentlemen, if you have a girl-​friend, or wife that enjoys smoking with you, ladies if you enjoy a good cigar but are easily offended, please do not enter the store while the «CEO» is on the clock. He will go far and above the call of duty to cat-​call, whistle, and other wise pester you until he successfully embarasses you, or gets laid. His goals are unclear at this writing.
To be frank, I was polite to the kid because I assumed he was an employee there and I do not like being rude to anyone who is working. But if he was just some kid who really liked hanging out here, and bought a Fat Stogies shirt and was just a patron, I’d have told him to eff’ off and leave me and my friend alone.
I’ll deffinitely give Fat Stogies another shot as the atmosphere is just too nice to not visit again. But if the «CEO» is back and trying his best to ruin my cigar, I’ll have to go back to enjoying cigars on my patio instead of here.

Great lounge, and the owners are awesome!!! Wonderful selection of cigars plus their ventilation system is the best (i have been to many other shops) but I’ve never seen this particular lounge get smokey. Keep it up Jack and Amo!

I was craving a late night smoke but couldn’t find a place to get one until I pulled over to a Starbucks an saw a nice store next to it so walked in an behold HEAVEN of CIGAR’S an also very friendly owner Jack greeted me as stepped in to his shop an that’s what I like about place I go smoke at the friendly service at this place I sure would be back with my boyees…

Solid cigar lounge helpful staff very friendly. Patrons are nice too. Great cigar selection. Love their humidor.

After the remodel it seems like the employees have got much easier to approach for recommendations and questions rather then catering to the regulars just a tad bit more. Seems like there is way more room to lounge and watch the sport games on the TVs they have installed. Still the service should be better like greeting your customers when they enter the shop and while they are searching for that cigar to smoke, enter the humidor room and ask questions.

The whole place reeks of Cigars. Sounds funny right? Not everybody who walks in here smokes cigars — word to ownership. Instant headache. Not sure if there is any form of ventilation (at all seriously). On top of all this the guy who runs the place was unfriendly and unappreciative of a paying customer. Manners lacking.

If your significant other is driving you crazy, send them down to hang out with the regulars at Fat Stogies Cigar! The people are friendly, the owners are attentive and the casual atmosphere is relaxing. The humidor has the best selection in L.A. Plus, the lounge has been expanded and remodeled with more TVs and seating! It’s a great hangout for a quality smoke!

Hands down the best cigar store in Southern CA. Jack and his brother Emo are knowledgable about all the hundreds of cigars and brands that they offer. The selection of cigars, humidors sand accessories is great. They even have a VIP seating smoking area where anyone who buys a cigar and wants to enjoy it can at no charge.

Good cigar shop. Owners and guests are friendly and lounge has a good vibe and feel. Within the valley it is second only to Chadi’s Cigar Club

By far my favorite cigar lounge in the San Fernando Valley. The staff is helpful their prices are fair and they have a huge selection of good smoke. Love this spot!

What can I say about Fat Stogies other then its by far the best cigar lounge in the Valley?
Well, its the Best Cigar Lounge in the Valley by Far!
I have been going to Fat Stogies for over 10 years now, way before they had their Lounge, but from Day 1 they always made me feel like a VIP.
When I first started going there they took the time to explain the different types of Cigars, if they were strong or mild, how they tasted and so forth. Jack turned me on to La Gloria Series R number 6 because I wanted a Strong Cigar with good flavor and ever since then (Scouts honor) I have only smoked that one cigar.
The have a very good size humidor with a very large selection of cigars. If you cant find your new favorite cigar or even you old favorite cigar in there then you need to stop smoking swisher sweets, they have it all. All of their cigars are fresh, I have never seen any mold on a cigar like I have in a couple of other shops.
The people that go there are great, you can sit next to a guy worth millions and a guy down on his luck and never know it. There is great conversation, with alot of laughs. From someone who has been going to years to the person who’s first time it is all feel welcomed.
Jack and Amo are neat freaks, the always keep the ashtrays clean, anything drink wise that is left around they clean it up right away. The floor is spotless and the place is always neat and tidy.
The chairs are really comfortable and there is plenty of them. They have tvs on so you get to watch the big games, with great people, great cigars and just relax.
Fat Stogies is also a great place to go on a Sat or Sunday morning early, bring a book, spark up a cigar and just enjoy some piece and quit and a great smoke.

Love this place. Great cigars, great prices. Down to earth vibe, friendly owners. Nothing I love more on a summer Sunday than get sushi next door, then head to Fat’s for a cigar after. They compliment each other mightily. I get my dad a cigar from here every year for Father’s day.

Jack and Amo are fantastic. I’ve been going here for close to 5 years now. The selection is excellent and due to the recent expansion of the store seating space is plentiful. These guys are very knowledgable about cigars! I suppose my only criticism for Fat Stoogies is similar to that of most cigar shops. No alcohol! Most places do not have a liquor license but it’d be nice wouldn’t it??? 5 stars
Goldhammer Approved

I have been to all the local shops and the owners. Jack and Amo, have hit a home run with their shop. Great selection of cigars and super VIP lounge (open to all). Great group of regulars as well. Very highly recommended.

Good Cigar Collection
Staff was informative and helpful
Small area to smoke inside store
Prices are decent
