Union Cigar Society

I have been smoking cigars for the last 5 – 6 years. Visited many cigars stores. Bought online. Always just looking for a good smoke and trying new things. I prefer to go to cigar stores only like this one because all they focus on is cigars. No pipes, cigarettes, etc… I go to cigar stores because I enjoy the experience of walking into a humidor, seeing the varieties they carry, having a professional employ give recommendations and educate. Every time I have been here they have recommended phenomenal cigars. Every cigar has been well care for. Not one burned poorly or tasted dry or over humidified. Prices are fair for being in Seattle and a retail store. They carry a wide variety of cigars that I haven’t seen in most cigar stores. More «boutique cigars». Some mainstream brands of course, but its nice to try new stuff all the time. The owner, who I believe is Daniel, nice dude. You could tell he loves what he does and is happy to share it with people. I plan on continuing to buy from these guys because I respect a small local spot like this which has character. I wish more businesses were like this one.

Great selection. Beautiful location. The guys at the shop are awesome! Ask about the Viva Republica and the Crux cigars.

It is the newest and I think it is the best shop in Seattle. Everyone one who works there are cigar smokers so the can give you there personal impressions of the cigars. There service is wonderful and when running late I have been able to call and they have stayed open so I can get some of the best boutique cigars in the industry.

I was in here looking for a gift and am happy I did. I know almost nothing about cigars but that did not matter: the gentleman there asked me a few questions about my friend’s taste and patiently helped me find several suitable options. I like the store and the friendly atmosphere so much that it almost tempts me to become a cigar smoker.

Modest but well curated selection, and great service.

Enjoyed my first visit as out-​of-​town traveller. I like the range of sticks in the modest but well-​maintained humidor. Wish I could time a visit to connect with one of their special events. BTW, if that was the owner behind the counter– good job. A nice welcome… and well informed.

I have become a regular here over the past year and thought it was about time I give this shop the credit it deserves. This shop truly is one of a kind in Seattle. The guys here can help you with whatever you are looking for be it smokes or accessories. The shop owner’s knowledge and willingness to help anyone from the first time to the first time today cigar smoker is incredible. I have been in the shop when he is helping someone pick out cigars for a present and when he is helping the picky old timer and he knows his stuff. Honestly, if you are looking for a good smoke and a helpful shop I encourage you to give these guys a try. You can know nothing or everything about cigars and you will feel right at home. This is a true cigar shop as it should be, not a smoke shop. Get your pipes and chew elsewhere.
Also, I started following the shop on Facebook to see when they get new blends in and I highly recommend it. Because of it I know that when ever I show up I’m going to get to try something new if that is what I feel like. They are constantly turning over stock giving you the most diverse, high quality selection available in Seattle. They also carry a full line of top notch accessories and unlike a lot of shops Lake Union Cigar Society will actually honor the warranties on the products it sells. If you buy a lighter from them and something goes wrong, they will actually take it back instead of making you fight with the manufacturer. I had bought a Xikar lighter and the thing started having problems; these guys took it back no questions asked and gave me a new one right there.

Great cigar options in this little gem of a shop on Lake Union. They carry the best boutique brands of cigars and the humidor is constantly packed with a vast array of sticks.
The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, the interior of the shop is immaculate, and you can purchase, then puff while catching a view of Lake Union, about 150 feet to the north. Not a bad way to spend an hour.

Best CIGAR shop in Seattle. This shop is for cigar smokers, and cigar smokers only. They carry better than average to high-​end cigars, the sales staff is very knowledgeable, plus they have a proper humidor (which is hard to find). If you are looking for a bong, or glass pipe this is not the place.

What a joke Michelle P review is, this is not the experience i have had UCS… I have
frequented all shops in Seattle love Union Cigar Society. Their staff knows and loves cigars. They are friendly and helpful and have been willing to stay open when I am running late.

I wish I could write a review about how awesome the service was, or how much my boyfriend loved the fancy cigar cutter and cigar I bought him, but I can’t. The reason i can’t is this: Even though I arrived an hour before their advertised closing time and the door was open, I was told «we’re about to close, sooooo…»
Bummer. My boyfriend really likes fine cigars. I would have been a really great customer for you.
At least maybe say hello to your customers? Or if you’re closing early, that’s fine — but ask if there’s anything you can do for me quickly before you close up. Oh Union Cigar Society, we could have been good together.
