Welcome to Scottsdale Cigars
Let's face it. Without the proper setting and trappings, a great cigar is just another cigar.
That's why we're dedicated to providing you with the top selection of premium hand-rolled cigars and cigar accessories in a comfortable retreat without all the hassles. It all started with our quest for the perfect in-house cigar options. Today, our three fully-stocked humidors feature all the premium cigar brands in your favorite vitolas, plus the special releases and hard-to-get labels you appreciate. When that's not sufficient, we're always happy to stock one of your special requests if we don't already carry it.
Not just flashy gear for cigar geeks
Our inspired selection of cigars demands the perfect complement of accessory options.
We deliver with a complete collection of essential gear in our showroom including lighters, cutters, humidors, ashtrays, pipes, pipe tocacco and beyond.

Xikar, Craftsmans Bench, Savoy, Cuban Crafters, S.T. DuPont... you'll find it all here and more, plus the variety, great prices, impeccable craftsmanship and guaranteed reliablility you're looking for.

Relax and Unwind
Discover Scottsdale Cigars, a friendly sanctuary for cigar lovers from beginners to seasoned aficionadosWhen you visit Scottsdale Cigars, you're always welcome in our cigar lounge. It's a big extended family room of sorts, outfitted for easy comfort and peppered with various characters that seem like... well, family. On any given day you're as likely to enjoy a good smoke with Johnny Lunchbucket as you are with a celebrity, pro sports figure, and CEO. Whatever the lounge mix, you'll find nothing but cigar compadres here.
Our Cigar Culture
We decided from the outset that we weren't going to take ourselves that seriously. Maybe that's why it's so easy for us to treat all our customers like V.I.P.'s. Besides, how could our "hassle-free" cigar experience include exclusive club rooms and pricey fees?
No, we'd rather you just made yourself at home in our big, comfy smoking retreat. There's plenty of space to relax, join a friendly conversation, catch your favorite sports or news on Direct TV, or simply chill out in your own zone. Whatever your style, it's absolutely complimentary and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Cigar of the Month

Single Region Serie Jalapa - Robusto
I was treated to a couple of pre-release samples of Single Region which promptly got buried in my humidor for a month or so. Fortunately, I rediscovered them one night back in the cool days of late May. I say "fortunately" because the first one knocked my socks off and the second was equally as impressive when I lit it up a couple of days later
Some more time passed before the official release arrived in the first stocking of three sizes: Robusto, Toro and Grande. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to follow up with some more Robustos to make certain Single Region was really on to something special.
This cigar is beautifully constructed with a smooth, dark wrapper and nice oily sheen. It also sports a tight pack and significant heft. Upon lighting up, I'm immediately treated to the complex flavors I remembered including a touch of chocolate, sweet maple syrup, some woody notes and my perfect idea of subtle cedar. The middle third is very smooth and mostly dominated by notes of leather and mocha, with the final third continuing those flavors with a touch of cedar.
The Single Region burns very evenly and produces a very firm dark ash with an effortless draw. It produces a decent volume of smoke with a wonderfully spicy aroma.
Final Word: I might be tempted to consider Single Region the best release in months in this price range, if not for the continuing debate amongst my cigar compadres. A handful found it a bit overpowering. Still others enjoyed it but found it a bit one dimensional. In the end, I'm still blown away by this flavor profile, so I'm chalking it all up to a matter of personal tastes and preference. For my part, I highly recommend it.
