Smoke N’ Sticks

Nice small place to find your favorite cigars and pipe tobacco. This place is one of the last places to provide quality, unique and QUALITY pipe tobacco. Their selection is wide although my go-​to is the Midnight Run mixed with their Sweet Vanilla, but can’t go wrong with nag with any of their selections and humidor is nicely stocked. You will also be greeted warmly from the owner and his son. Worth the stop and check it out. ONLY thing that would give them 5 stars a from me… Been there twice so far, and both times, all their comfortable leather chairs where taken up, so no place to kick it. Oh, this place is REALLY CRAZY about the Soccer… Not my thing. But in all… GREAT shop.

Really Nice people working here. Was buying a cheap cigar for a friend but ended up getting something nicer because I was pointed in the right direction.

This is the spot to check out if you’re into cigars. See Vito, the guy is definitely very knowledgeable, and won’t steer you wrong in the type of smoke you’re looking for. You can also light up and enjoy your smoke as you watch sports on their big screen TV. Overall, an excellent and enjoyable place to kick back and relax.

Awesome shop great service if you don’t know much about cigars they give a great tour and great information about cigars what’s good etc… Highly recommend visiting this shop if your looking for a good smoke.

Top shelf cigars at great a great price. Robert was very helpful and has great knowledge on cigars. its so close to home so don’t have to order on line and wait for them to arrive.
I will no longer settle for bundle specials on no name cigars on line and only smoke top quality cigars from now on.
You can go into this place and watch tv or and smoke your cigar there if you want.
Highly recommended. Thank you Robert

This place is great! Staff is friendly; the environment is laid back and relaxed and the cigars are exceptional. If you’re in the area, stop by and say hello and enjoy a good cigar with good company.

I don’t know what has happened but service has died here. I use to go in six days a week and by a 13 dollar cigar and occasionally a LFD Mysterio a 20 dollar cigar. Well as of late the owner has been harassing me about parking up front. I drive a full size ¾ ton truck so it is not the easiest thing to maneuver so when parking is tight or I have tools in my truck I park up front. Today I head over to get a cigar so I can go to a friends house to shoot darts and have a cigar, I wasn’t even planing on staying. As I’m pulling in the owner comes out and tells me to move my truck, so I did move down the street to Another cigar lounge that I an sure will glad to have my business.

Just fantastic! Vince, the owner always has anything I want. Great selection and service.

This place is a hidden gem in granada hills. The ownership and management have an extensive knowledge of their products and their customer service is superb.
They have a nice lounge with a few tv’s
They’re always showing football on sundays and cover just about all sporting events.
They have a nice humidor with a good variety of cigars.
The regular crowd in the lounge are kind and enjoyable to converse with. I’ll certainly be making this place my regular hang out spot.

Years ago, I thought I should learn about cigars, unfortunately, I met Vince and the gang at Smoke N’ Sticks and I have not stopped smoking. Vince and the gang are very knowledgeable and the selection is great! Most importantly, Vince provides a «Cheers» type environment where you can go to relax and enjoy a good smoke with good people!

I love hanging out and watching the game with Vince and the gang over at SmokeNSticks They have a great selection of cigars and a nice lounge. Great location at San Fernando Mission & Balboa too.

Good cigars good selections

talk about a run down shop

Nice comfortable cigar smoke shop. Good selection of cigars. Nice to sit down and have a smoke with boys. Girls, you’re welcome too!
The shop has a vendor stop by every other month or so, it’s a good time to get a discount and learn more about cigars. Get on their mailing list to find out when they have one. It’s always packed, so come early, and you will learn something as well as enjoy a fine smoke and make some new friends. Last time I went to one I sat next to a guy who was on the short list to become the captain of an aircraft carrier. We had a great chat, good experience.

I’ve been buying cigars from this storefront since it opened as UGLY AL’s 20 some years ago. The birth of both of my kids (now 18 and 12) warranted a box of Double Château Fuentes and most of what has come and gone through my humidor came from here. In all this time, I’ve never had an issue before and never attempted to return a cigar. In this economy, I treat myself to a really good cigar per week but keep a bundle of something decent but cheap also. Well, I bought a bundle of the store’s featured Flor de Oliva (the ones with the red/​white/​blue band featured as you walk into the humidor). Much to my disappointment, they are dipped in some sort of sugar solution that makes the cigar nauseatingly sweet… sweet from start to finish… gross and a really miserable smoking experience.
So, I called the shop and explained this to the guy on the phone asking if I could return the unsmoked, still wrapped, 19 of 20 for store credit. I was told that no, I can’t return cigars and that «nobody else has ever complained». I was told, I could call back at 5PM to speak with the owner. I called back at 5 and again the next day and again a few days later; leaving several messages asking for a call back. Several weeks have gone by and still no call back.
Long and short, terrible product and even worse customer service has cost SnS a long time regular customer. Really disappointing.

This is an excellent place. I’m not sure why some of the other reviewers are talking about the owner not being knowledgeable. He’s always been able to answer any question I can throw at him. He has an excellent selection of cigars, and in a very wide range of prices. A person who can afford to spend $ 20 on a cigar will find just as good of a selection as the person who can only afford to spend $ 5-​$ 6.
They also have an excellent pipe tobacco selection, which is hard to come by any longer.
Overall the prices are reasonable, the staff know their stuff, and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. Definitely the place to stop by and have a smoke.

This place used to be good and I would always buy a stick or two of something I wanted to try before I got a box online.
Well i figured it out, Smoking Sticks was sold and bought by a new owner. He is a nice guy, has some cigar 101 knowledge and doesnt try to sell you every bell and whistle in the store. Then you walk into the humidor and see mold growing in at least everyother box on the sliding door side of the room. I picked up a Camacho and it went limp from the moisture absorbed.
Ill make the extra 5 mile drive and go somewhere else from here on out.

Smoke N’sticks in Granada Hills is a Cigar treasure. They have pipe and pipe related materials as well, but this review is based on the cigars and my experience the first time I found this store. First of all say hi to Dave the day time clerk. Formal air force with a lot of great stories and opinions. Opinions on things you expect to hear in a Cigar Lounge. The other patrons were also very welcoming. They will include a newbie as I was into there chats if you wish to chat. Now to the HUMI. It held a nice selection. Varied even for my worldly palate. A real pleasure to try new things. Yes I found brands here new to me, as well as some old brands that I had forgotten about. That was really nice. Though I know what I like I really appreciated Dave’s vast knowledge and opinions on a cigar I was thinking of trying. Best part was NO HOVERING over the new guy. Not pushy either. Both hovering and dealing with pushy sales reps are reasons why I don’t go into a new cigar store. I was happy there was none of that going on here. I did not meet Vince the owner. But I figure if he was smart enough to hire and keep Dave he must be okay. So next time you are in the area please support this local shop. You will not be disappointed.

What happened?
This place used to be the best in the valley. Great selection and even better management. Unfortunately, the store is now under new management and I’m not pleased at all. This new guy has no idea what he’s talking about.
I guess I’ll be looking for a new cigar store…
:(
