House of Cigars

HOC!!! This is a great place to enjoy a great HAND ROLLED cigar in a great atmosphere. Willie and Nicole do a great job making sure that all that come in are treated like a guest in their home. Come by and enjoy a great stick and great people.

I had a very poor experience here, the man was very rude to us and treated us awful. The place looked great and they even had their own roller. But I will not come back to this place because of the terrible customer service. If I had to make suggestion it would be to go to the elite cigar lounge down the street. The other people will treat you with respect and just seem like a better run business.

Nice welcome to the House of Cigars when I visited early afternoon on a Tuesday welcomed like a king. Nicole was awesome in helping me pick out a stick and it did not disappoint. However, I was disappointed that the signage on the door prohibited my second amendment rights. No other business in the strip mall had the signage. Do the math, which store would you target if you wanted to do harm — one that prohibits law abiding armed citizens or one that doesn’t. Like I said, great place but totally out of touch with safety.

Great place to hang out and enjoy a high quality fresh rolled cigar. Great music and friendly staff.

Best Cigars In Dallas…
Do you need to know more? Seriously. These are hands down the best sticks you’ll find anywhere. I can’t smoke anything else. All cigars are rolled in house using organic tobacco so they’re 100x cleaner then anything else. No cardboard flavor the next day. I used to smoke Padrons and Diamond Crowns but now I can’t even appreciate those. Most sticks are between $ 10-​$ 20 each. Ambiance is awesome. Great people. The owners are fantastic and always happy to help you pick the best stick for you. Filtration setup is really impressive so my wife, who is asthmatic, can actually hang out here comfortably. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

Wow. First off I randomly drove by this place the day I was moving in and decided to check it out today. Luckily for me its literally right across the road from me and I couldn’t be happier. Awesome staff and I was greeted instantly when I walked in. Great selection of cigars and you could tell everyone inside was having a great time because it just had that atmosphere that gives off a great vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back here regularly as this is my new go to place for cigars. Definitely recommend! Cheers.

Thanks all … I just luv the place. willie, Nicole and Jimmy for putting up with my and friends. You all the best.

I had a terrible experience with my date there. I asked him which cigar compared to Davidoff Special T … He stated he never heard of Davidoff cigars and proceed to trash my favorite cigar how is is hand rolled etc. All high end cigars are handed rolled… Just in a different locations around the world. Ok got over that. Like I said I am there with my lady friend and not going to one up him. Just figured I would get a low end stick and move on. I picked out a 10 stick. He then ask me why I picked a cheap one. My answer was. why do
you sell it! I bought 2 one for me and one for my date. Hers was rolled to tight. It happens not a issue. I ask him to open it up. That’s where it started. His anger came out. He started dropping F bombs non stop and kick me out. The man needs anger management bad. Read the one star reviews. When a knowledgeable cigar smoker questions him anger occurs. That, s what all the negative reviews says. Be prepared for he F Bombs

My girlfriend and I were in the area over the weekend and, as is my habit, I explored the local cigar shops. This one stood out because they had their own line, so I was looking forward to checking it out.
The shop itself had a decent ambiance, although it was a bit too trendy for my tastes. I couldn’t see myself relaxing with a stick in-​shop.
We were were immediately greeted and shown to the humidor, where the man told us about their tobaccos and in-​house rollers – I found the organic, no pesticides angle to be a bit gimmicky, but whatever. He asked my preferences and recommended some cigars based on that. Customer service was unequivocally great.
Now, I was a bit jarred by the price range of these cigars. The cheapest of the lot was $ 8.50, and I stopped looking at numbers when I saw $ 36 – yeah, sorry, but nothing less than a pre-​embargo, perfectly maintained Cuban should command that kind of bloated price. But I hate leaving a cigar shop empty handed, so I grabbed one of the $ 8.50 sticks and immediately stowed it in my travel humidor for the ride back to Beaumont. After resting in my home humidor a few days, I decided to light it up, and this is where my low review comes from.
Upon cutting with my very sharp Xikar, the foot essentially came apart, the cap came off, and the wrapper began to unravel. I had to wet it down with spit to prevent further unraveling, and after lighting, I had to baby the thing during the whole smoke, and even so, it burned incredibly uneven. When I say uneven, I’m talking one of the most wonky burns I’ve ever experienced. By the time I extinguished it, one side was about an inch long, the other was about two inches long. The draw was very loose as well, and despite having an admittedly great flavor, the construction was so poor that it was almost impossible to enjoy. Even without the construction issue, I didn’t consider it twice as good as my go-​to $ 4 sticks.
All in all, I was incredibly disappointed in this stick. For $ 8.50 I’d expect the cigar to be constructed properly, or at the very least not practically fall apart in my hands and maybe even burn evenly in a no-​wind environment.
Perhaps my bad cigar was a fluke, given all the positive reviews for them, but I’m more inclined to think it’s a case of the «it’s better because it’s expensive!» mentality that I saw quite a bit of in all but one of the Dallas area cigar shops I visited.
As a rule, I usually give a bad cigar a second chance due to the fact that they’re handcrafted and anomalies happen, but when you present yourself as a top of the line boutique cigar shop, I really at least expect even the «bad» cigars of the batch to not begin to fall apart as soon as I cut it. I hate that I had to give them such a bad review because the customer service, and indeed the flavor of the cigar, were quite good, but ultimately the quality of the product is paramount, and a poorly constructed cigar is just a bad cigar.
If I lived closer, I may be inclined to give them a second chance, or at least stop by to discuss it with the owners, but since it’s a five hour drive, I’m not out there very often, and when I am I know at least one other cigar shop in the area that has better prices, better selection, and, in my opinion, a less pretentious atmosphere, I can say I definitely won’t be giving House of Cigars a second chance.
Sorry guys, but I work too hard for my money to spend it on style over substance.

It’s been just over a year now since I stepped into the HOC and you wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve been back. I’m now a proud locker member and am always recommending to friends and business members. It’s a great place for a business meeting or a time to relax or catch up on work.
I can’t say enough good things about the House of Cigars. It’s something you just have to experience. The cigars are amazing, Willie and Nicole are super friendly as well as knowledgeable and helpful. In fact, Nicole can usually tell exactly what I need by observing me when I walk in. It is BYOB but all patrons are so nice they are always happy to share. They have amazing espresso (complimentary), sodas, (complimentary), real glassware and it all adds to the class of the place.
Friday nights have live music that you will love.
Cigar shops may abound, but not like this one. If you like name brands that may or may not have a good draw, sit on a shelf a long time, drink from plastic, pay a cutting fee and pretty much hang with yourself because people aren’t like «family», don’t come to HOC. But if you’re looking for a special place that’s in a class by itself, you must check it out.

HoC cigars are fine, not divine. — I’ve enjoyed gathering with friends at HoC regularly, at least 20 times since my first visit in Feb 2014. The lounge is very nice, one of the nicest I’ve seen. I’ve had better cigars at a small fraction of their prices, but I have to admit their cigars are really very good. HoC has a lot going for it, but not nearly enough to justify their arrogant disdain for and bad-​mouthing of all other cigars, cigar stores, and people who enjoy them. Frankly, from the first visit I was turned off by the haughty attitude and ridiculous hype about their pristeen «organic» tobacco, etc. I had a particularly unpleasant dose of HoC arrogance this evening, which will make it my final visit. It’s too bad because in so many ways it’s a great little shop. I’d give it 5 stars if only they could tone down the pathetic cigar snobbery.

Staff is very helpful and friendly. Nice place to sit back and enjoy a cigar. Great place.

Awesome place! The owner was super nice and ALL the people smoking inside were just as friendly.
No booze, but instead, complimentary expresso is offered… which is the authentic cigar drink.
Trendy décor, too.
Love, love, love this place!

This is a GREAT spot! I stopped in yesterday just to «look». It was right up the street from my office and had good reviews. Parking is good and easy.
I was greeted immediately upon entering.
What a great place. An extremely knowledgeable staff, an extensive selection of very reasonably priced cigars. A fine place to pick up a good cigar and sit back in comfort on leather sofa’s or a very comfortable leather chair. A must stop for any cigar smoker from the novice to the conisseur.

Was in town for just one night on a business trip and found a good Unilocal review for this place so I thought I’d give it a try. This place is not a bar its a BYOB and the owner nicole is very friendly and very knowledgeable in their unique and personal cigars. You will not find commercial branch cigars at this place they have their own personal Blends that are just as good if not better. On finding a jazz band and play very good music with a Latin twist and the crowds is extremely friendly open

How have I been missing this place when they’re so close?
They hosted my apartment building (Fiori) for a private event last night and I was really impressed. I have a couple regular cigar lounges that I’ve visited in Richardson/​Dallas and this is at least on par with those from a quality standpoint. The cigars I tried were really good, Nicole and Willie are very friendly, and the ambiance is very clutch.
I look forward to checking it out again on a regular business night, perhaps for some of this live music I hear of.

WOW! No other word so closely defines the experience of House of Cigars on a Friday night. Nicole and Willie are some of the most approachable cigar shop owners I have ever been around. Nicole not only spent time asking us what we were drinking so she could better recommend cigars to pair with but also checked in on our group throughout the night.
The lounge sitting area is well ventilated and very comfortable. The Latin Jazz band on Friday nights is killer. I recommend getting there about 9:45/10 because the seats fill quickly. Music starts around 10:30ish.
Why are you still reading this? H.o.C. rolls their own smokes, services what they sell, is BYOB and has great music on Friday nights. Get there now, then thank me later by sending me one of their H2 Perfectos!

I live several hours away but found myself in Dallas and thought I’d check this place out as I had some time to kill.
One of the best cigar lounges I’ve visited, and I’ve had the pleasure of visiting many in several states across the country.
The cigars are pricey but they roll their own amd O found the cigar I chose to be much different than what can be found in the average humidor.
The female that assisted me was friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. She makes a great espresso too.
I’ll be back when I’m in the area.

I really wanted a cigar last week but couldn’t make it to the HOC. So I cheated.
I bought another one from and the difference in quality was obvious from the first pull. And the flavor and smoothness was no match to a cigar from house of cigars.
I learned my lesson and will never do it again. I will make sure to stock up on cigars if I anticipate being away for too long.

House of Cigars is a great place for first-​timers like myself to explore the world of cigars. Why? Well aside from their beautiful, clean, relatively new cozy space in North Dallas, they’ve got a mind-​blowing selection of hand rolled cigars. If you go, take time out to meet Willie and his wife. I was so impressed by them. These owners know and love cigars and educated me on how to pair a cigar with a glass of wine, champagne or beer. They also have stellar recommendations for various tastes. I was completely impressed that all of their cigars were made in house. Where else can you find real cigar rollers staffed right there at the business?!
Not a smoker? No problem. They’ve got an incredible Latin jazz band that plays live on Friday nights starting at around 10 PM. This band is versatile and will play contemporary to old school music. Best of all, all of their cigars have no chemicals and are 100% organic, so you won’t smell smoke sticking to the walls like other places. I can imagine there are some bangin’ bachelor’s nights out, birthdays, and date nights going on here from time to time. Very cool spot and I didn’t have to travel to Miami to experience it! :)
