Alvarez Cigars

This is a nice cigar store where the cigars are rolled in front of you. The cigars are good and reasonably priced.

My coworker gave me one of these sticks to try and I was a fan immediately. So much that I had to take a little trip to pick up a bundle of my own fresh hand rolled "Cuban" cigars. The staff is very friendly and the prices are awesome!

The owner was rude and unprofessional. Would not recommend purchasing any product from there or give your business to them.

It appears to be a small family run operation which is great but they have put very little into the curb appeal or even the atmosphere inside. They have a limited amount of stock and choice to offer. I prefer a more organized, pleasant and well stocked humidor. Good luck

Great prices for in house, hand rolled cigars.
I'm pretty sure you won't find any shop like this one; truly unique! When you walk in their shop, the sweet aroma of the fresh tobacco hits you as you enter. I'm enjoying their Connecticut Robusto as we speak. This was my first visit, but it definitely will not be my last. I look forward to getting more of these puppies in the near future.

Was a loyal customer for many years. Started purchasing from original location. Never disappointed. Moved out of state and now order by mail. Great personalized customer service. Love Alvarez Cigars.

Order the 6x60 Maduro. They are not on display. Very long and smooth smoke. Cash only and great prices.

Found Alvarez in a Search for local cigar shops. Not "smoke shops" selling a bunch of pot paraphernalia and a handful of cigars, but an actual cigar shop. Saw some old but favorable reviews so decided to take a drive.

The good: all the cigars are their own and are hand rolled in the shop, as the customer can observe. They are very inexpensive, with a 5 inch cigar coming in at $2.25.

The not so good: they only have two types of cigars, a mild and a robusto, although they come in several shapes and lengths/thicknesses. They only take cash. And the hand-wrapping is inconsistent. The first cigar I tried started unraveling before I was halfway through, leaving me unable to finish what was an otherwise perfectly acceptable cigar. And as happens with inconsistent and rolling, that particular car was also very hard to draw.

The cigars were ok! They don't accept credit card for tax evasion purposes! So bring cash !

I have been smoking cigars for a very long time. There was a time when I wouldn't pay less then $14.00 to $20.00 for a good cigar.
Then someone I worked with told me about Alverez Cigars, and that was before they moved to the new location on Amboy Ave.
The first time I tried them I was very impressed because I knew I had found a cigar that was as good or better than the expensive cigars I used to smoke. Although, I still keep trying other cigars, the majority of cigars I buy are Alverez. I love the mild torpedos and Churchills. No matter how may different cigars are in my 200 humidor box, the majority are always Alverez. True, they only take cash or check and that's okay with me. Also, once in a while a get a few cigars that are not exactly rolled correctly or they burn uneven, but too few to complain about. I chalk that up to training of new cigar rollers. They only use good tobacco and wrappers, and they are the most reasonable cigars I have ever had for the prices they charge. They will always be my #1 go to.
