My experience was the professional knowledge of products and how helpful the staff are.I have the privilege of knowing the management and his knowledge of product has continued through his staff who are courteous and very helpful.
I recently ordered cigars and within two or three days they arrived through the post in a beautifully packed package that resembled care and attention to detail. Superb .
I would always recommend DECENT CIGAR Company.

Less choice and staff not very welcoming
Feb 2020
I have been buying cigars in this shop for years and I used to love the place, loved the staff, the welcome coffee and the display and choice of cigars.
The new layout doesn't make you want to stay there that much anymore, the choice of cigars is ridiculously low now and unfortunately the cigar I smoke the most, Edmundo is very very often out of stock....
The staff , and mostly one person is really not welcoming and you feel like you are disturbing or bothering him more than anything else, which is a shame
you feel bad asking for matches and you have the bad look when you do..
I unfortunately have to buy my cigars online now which is a shame as i used to love going to go to a cigar shop
Fox down the road is a superb shop but overpriced and staff barely nicer than Decent Cigar Emporium
The Dublin cigars aficionados deserve a nice place and we dont have one anymore...

Which is it?
Apr 2019
Nice Selection of Cuban cigars which we can't get here in the US. Every time I'm in Dublin I make a point to go to Grafton Street to this Cigar shop and bring some back home My only question is.....I was told in the store that they ship all over the world but in their E mail advertisement,it says that they DO NOT ship tobacco products to the US. Which is it?

A shop not worthy of our custom
Aug 2019 • Couples
I visited the store with my husband yesterday to buy cigars for a large upcoming event and I've never been more insulated in my life. We were not greeted at all when we entered the small store and there was only one other customer inside; no hello, no nod, nothing. As we were looking at the case with 'the cigar of the week' the shopkeeper walked away from the customer he was serving and reached over and very obviously closed the till drawer that he had left open. This action could only mean one thing and I immediately announced to my husband that we would not be spending our money there. The shopkeeper asked me what was wrong and I told him exactly what I had just witnessed. He attempted to protest and said that he wouldn't just leave his till open all day. The problem was, sir, you had and because you didn't like the look of us you felt the need to do it just at that instance. I have never been so insulted in my life! It was so insulting, in fact, that the other customer also turned without saying anything and walked out behind us with disgust. I will never shop somewhere that treats customers in that manner and I feel that it's important for others to know about our experience. We had good money to spend yesterday and in a way I'm glad that it happened because I would never want to support a business that treats people like that. Never judge a book by its cover! Our custom was much appreciated elsewhere where they were extremely friendly and very helpful and we have a large receipt that backs that up. I can't imagine how you will ever stay in business with treating people in this manner.

Disapointed
Jun 2019 • Solo
I've been to this shop many times over the years. The layout has changed recently and it's not good. The 'new' shop room is much smaller. Unless I missed something, there was a very small selection on display. I assume this has not been helped by the new packaging laws in Ireland, where it is now forbidden to display stock in their proper branding. This is not the shops fault. However, I do sense a gradual demise with this shop along with the other two main cigar shops in Dublin. And it's a real shame.

Too much "hard sell"
Mar 2019 • Solo
The shop is lovely but the staff will not allow you even one minute to look at the cigars. Every time I go in there it is a different person but the same experience; they ask if they can help me, I reply that I would like a few minutes to look at the cigars, they continue to bombard me with questions about what I usually buy, what I like, if I am familiar with cigars, I continue to ask to be left a few minutes to look at the cigars, they come out from behind the counter and pretty much tell me what I want to buy. I end up leaving with something I didn't really want, feeling stressed and drained. Would be great if they could ease up on the HARD SELL.

Hi Aisling,
Many thanks for your review, all feedback is greatly appreciated.
Rest assured our main concern is always our customers satisfaction, we may ask various questions in order to recommend the best cigar suited to you, it is certainly not our intention to push an unwanted product or attempt to "hard sell" sincere apologies if this is how you felt.

🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺Need a Cuban Or Coffee???!! ☕️ ☕️☕️Only Place to get the Best Cigars In Dublin!!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨?
Jan 2019 • Solo
I have been to this shops for Years with my uncle and he has passed his fondness for fine Cuban Ciagrs onto me.
The guys in here know what they’re talking about , have a great selection of everything from Cuban to Nicaraguan & if they don’t have it they will get it for you. The guys don’t try to rush you or hard sell.
They are there for advice if you need them which is what a cigar shop should be.
The prices are high however if you want the best you have to pay plus there are very limited places to get Cubans in Dublin or even Ireland but this Place is beyond The Best.
They also Serve great Cuban Coffee,
Can’t say how much I love this place even just walking in for the aroma alone.
I am a Concirege @ a top 5 Star hotel just around the Corner from these guys and I send all my guests / clients here without hesitation.
I’ll be back in to get something special for my 30th soon!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏🙏🇨🇺☕️

Is this also a smoking lounge to sit, relax and enjoy a cigar?

Thank you for your message. Unfortunately nowhere in Ireland can you smoke indoors due to a smoking ban which was introduced in 2004. If you stop by the store we would be happy to recommend some fantastic outdoor areas which you can relax and enjoy a cigar in comfort. DCE
