I made a trip to a few of the various tobacconist shops in Tucson, Arizona recently and was extremely pleased with all the stores I visited. All were helpful, had great selection and provided the many amenities helping your cigar respite be that much more enjoyable. Please peruse the reviews and visit these premium stores.
Hours
Monday thru Saturday:
9:00 am to 7:00 pm
Sundays:
11:00 am to 5:00 pm
Service
The tobacconist was able to guide me through the various brands and blends and answered all questions. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient and able to help many customers simultaneously.
Selection
They have a tremendous selection of cigars and lockers for customer storage. Their humidor is full of great premium cigars and they even have a cigar designed by their employees and made by Oliva.
They order their stock, like most tobacconists, from the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association (IPCPR) which was held in August. They had a few items in the humidor from the show but many were on order for delivery in September / October. One of the latest items they received was Drew Estate’s La Privada T52.
Amenities
They have areas for people to sit inside and watch sports, movies, etc. They also have some outside seating however, legally I’m not sure you can enjoy your cigar outside.
There are fairly good sized lock boxes in the humidor for people to store their purchases. Most of them were claimed (and stuffed with boxes upon boxes of cigars!).
Atmosphere
I visited the store on a Saturday early afternoon and there were quite a few people inside enjoying their cigars watching some college football. A pretty good group of regulars visit this store and chat with the tobacconist who is extremely knowledgeable with the inventory and beyond. There are two Anthony’s Cigar Shops in the Tucson
