Ruben’s Smoke Stack

Stopped here on occasion to purchase a cigar and they have a great humidor filled with some of the cigars around! Ruben is knowledgeable and he is spot on when it comes to recommending a fine cigar!

Ruben was very helpful in assisting me with my selection. All of the guys were pretty nice and friendly. Excellent selection of cigars in a real humidor. Great job…

Great little hang out when you want to escape this crazy world, and an excellent selection of fine cigars! Pick your poison.

As the name implies, Ruben himself runs this shop and is ALWAYS there to take care of you. The selection is second to none as he has all the newest releases and latest brands to hit the market. If it’s out there, Ruben has it and at a reasonable price too. He runs his shop like an old ‘in town cigar store’…honest, friendly folks… tons of locals that welcome you and engage in great conversation… food coming in from local restaurants for his customers… the place is so cool. Once you get there and select a cigar and light up… time just flies because you’re so comfortable hanging out there. Comfortable chairs & couches, people talking, smoking, discussing cigars, eating, drinking, watching something on the big TV… what an awesome place!
It’s like a time warp in there… it’s like the old days when I was a kid in the 60s and my uncle would bring me in a cigar shop when he would pick up his brand and everyone was friendly, inviting, and made you feel comfortable as soon as you walked in the door. It’s for that reason I started smoking cigars over 35 years ago myself, the camaraderie. Ruben’s is the real deal… go in there and you’ll see for yourself.

I came here to meet some new friends and some old that I met at the IPCPR in 2009 in New Orleans. Ruben is a 100% class act, and very hospitable. He opened his doors to our large group with open arms and treated us all very well, comping some drinks along the way and passing out a small box of Tatuaje Little Monsters to thank us for our business.
He has some rare cigars that are difficult to get a hold of and stock year round, namely some of the Fuente Hemingway Maduros. Furthermore, he had plenty of stock on the Little Monsters and even still had some Tatuaje Black Lanceros on the shelves. The shop is classy with plenty of seating and if you get hungry there are some good places to grab a bite to eat within walking distance. If I lived in the area, his shop would be my go-​to B&M.

I have been visiting different cigar shops around Northern Jersey that I read about in Cigar Snob magazine. Ruben’s Smoke Stack is one of the best. Good location with plenty of parking in the rear of the building. The atmosphere is friendly with what looks like a crowd of regulars that make you feel comfortable. The best part though, I think is the owner Ruben. A friendly guy that really knows his business and ready to help you make a good cigar choice. I will definitely be returning soon.

They have a large selection of cigars, and the people are friendly. I hung around in the lounge and watched a movie while I smoked my cigar.

Thank you Unilocal for helping me find this place. I almost didn’t see it even knowing the address. And yes the walk in humidor is great and while i am not a cigar smoker and know almost nothing about cigars… Ruben was able to pick out a number of good cigars for me that i thoroughly enjoyed.
thanks Ruben.

Ruben is a great guy. Always joking around and up for a conversation on anything. His shop is even better. Nice comfy lounge area to sit in and watch a game or usually a movie. Great HTF cigars from tatjuae, liga privada, reinaldo, rodrigo and many others.
I will come back again and again.

Great gem in the middle of Hackensacks’ shopping district, right on Main St center to all major highways. Ruben’s Smoke Stack has a walk in Humidor with an excellent variety of tasty treats that are all reasonably price for the the taking. This guy is mans man and has a great sense of hospitality that you notice as soon as walk through the door. His lounge area is is line with supple leather sofas and he sells non alcoholic drinks. From what I hear business men flock to this place as well as the average Joe and every one is treated the same. So if you looking to pick some good smokes or lounge with the fellas this is the place to be… Check out Ruben’s today!
