Wow...... where to start.... my friend (a veteran in a weekchair) and I are thinking about smoking a cigar and were thinking Havana house but tokd him i had seen some cigar lounge so lets check that out instead. . So I take my friend and as we enter and are about to sit down and put my bad of cigars on the table I get asked what kind of cigars were those and I replied they were Cohibas (Red Dots) and suddenly out of the blue told me straight up "Get the fuck out of here that he's not interested" i was not there to sell anything but just have a smike with mt buddy. I was truly stunned. I have never been treated like that in my entire life and it was very disrespectful. I couldn't even have a proper meet and greet with the owner without him blowing up like he did. I really can't say I recommend this place or not but with company like HIM i would ratber stay home and have a cigar by myself. Thanks alot for making us feel at home

Yes, I refuse to purchase your contraband cigars and will never carry illegal merchandise at my store. If you are irritated about not being able to make a sale I am sorry. Try some other cigar shops that might entertain your offer. Not me. Plain and simple.
And no, I did not use vulgar language. I simply asked you to take the bag of illegal Cuban cigars out of my shop, Cuban Cohiba Behikes are not "Red Dots". They are illegal Cuban cigars, plain and simple again. - chaz O.Monrovia, CA17553112Jan 20, 2013First to Review
This place has sooooooooo MUCH potential! The owner Sam is a great guy. However the decor needs some help...ASAP! Lighting is an issue also, the florescent lighting is a negative(-). Pricing is a Major problem too! I hope they re-evaluate some issues. I may return at a later time, ambiance is everything when relaxing with a cigar.

A friend recommended this place a few months ago. On my first visit I was welcomed by the owner Sam and all the patrons hanging out in the smoking area. I have been a regular ever since. Unlike other SGV cigar shops, Robusto Cigars is unpretentious, and laid back. I visit at least 3 times a week and always find good cigars, good company, and an enjoyable experience. This is my first yelp review and Robusto Cigars deserves a great one.

I've been going to Robustos now for approx 5 years plus now and it's still the same good service. Sam is a pleasure to deal with. Lounge has a chill environment and people who go there make for great conversation. A wide selection of cigars to choose from. Even if your new Sam will be more than happy to help out.

My favorite cigar shop/lounge in the area.
Sam, the main man, is extremely helpful and super knowledgeable.
Conversation on cigars with Sam are mind blowing.
Like fine wine, cigars are very special.
I'm pretty much a cigar novice but visiting here has really expanded my mind and knowledge about cigars.
The vibe and customers that hang and smoke are super cool
If you like cigars and want a cool relaxing environment to smoke a work of art, this is it.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Gary H.Los Angeles, CA1894Apr 11, 2020
Robusto Cigars is hands down the best cigar lounge around. The greatest selection combined with Sam's knowledge about cigars makes for a great experience finding what suits you best. Also a very comfortable lounge with great company. I can't wait to get back in there and enjoy a smoke among friends.

The walk-in humidor is filled with a beautiful selection of hand rolled cigars. The prices are very fair and if you ever want to know anything about any cigar, Sam is the guru.
