Liberty Tobacco

I always come here for some really good smokes. Great selection and the guys are always helpful if needed. They also have cigars that other places don’t have. Prices are great and reasonable. Highly recommend coming here if you haven’t yet. These guys know cigars!

Excellent customer service! Great selection. Staff that is engaging and fun to talk to! Great work guys!!! Keep it up!!!

I walked into this place as a cigar novice. Well, they took the time with me and walked me through the HUGE selection of cigars. The salesman that walked me through the store made me feel like I was the only one there. Awesome place, selection and service. I appreciate the love that these guys have for cigars!

Best place to buy a cigar in all of San Diego and frankly… the best cigar shop I’ve visited. My father and father-​in-​law are avid cigar smokers so Mike (the best) has been able to help me after knowing their tastes and preferences in getting the perfect cigars (= perfect gift) for them. We also used Liberty Tobacco for our wedding and provided our guests with a cigar tasting and it was a huge hit. We love these guys!

Nice spot, great weather. There are tons of options but the expert staff help narrow the selection down. Very helpful staff. Highly recommended

Amazing selection of cigars and pipe tobacco. The service is top notch and I’ve never had anything but good experiences the dozens of times I’ve been there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Liberty Tobacco to any of my friends and family.

Love Liberty. After a long and stressful week there is nothing like relaxing at Liberty and enjoying a good cigar and even better company. Everyone is welcome and treated the same. Liberty has character and characters.

The people in this shop but the customers and the workers are the nicest people on earth. The place is kind of like a club for cigar smokers. It has a good selection of cigars and tobacco. You can sit there and smoke watching one of the multiple TV’s or talk with the other smokers. This store is simply awesome.

Absolutely amazing tobacco shop. Living in Santee, this place is absolutely worth the 20 minute drive. They’ve got a great selection of pipe tobacco and cigars. For a pipe smoker like me, options are limited to find decent tobacco or pipes locally unless you’re willing to pay through the nose at Seaport Village or Old Town (prices are usually jacked up for tourists), so I’m glad this place is here. They’ve got a liberal sampling policy so you can get a taste of your tobacco prior to committing a purchase, and they’ve got plenty of peripherals like tampers, pipe tools and stands, cigar cutters, lighters, and humidors.
The prices here are very fair, they’re a little more than buying online but actually cheaper if you factor in shipping costs. A 2 oz bag of tobacco runs about $ 3 – 6, and that’s a lot of tobacco. I can’t remark on the cost of the cigars here, but given that there’s a good number of people here all smoking cigars, I assume it’s fair as well.
The people here, both employees and customers using the indoor and outdoor smoking lounges (which are stellar, the ambience is amazing here) are fantastic. Everybody is very friendly and the employees are incredibly helpful, smoking with the customers and having a good time.
In short, come here. I plan on becoming a regular myself.

By far the best tobacco shop I’ve ever been to. As soon as my wife and I walked in we were greeted warmly and asked if we needed assistance, we declined because we were just browsing at the time.
After walking around the shop for a few min the manager (at least I’m assuming he was the manager) came over and showed my wife some humidors, what really impressed me was the fact he showed us the affordable models rather then going to the $ 200 and trying to up sell; knowing we didn’t need the best of the best for a first humidor.
He gave us some free samples of snus and told me (a pipe smoker) to feel free to come in and sample any bulk tobacco and sit in their smoking area and enjoy a book or watch the tv, I will absolutely take them up on that offer.
Even though I live in Ramona and have plenty of smoke shops between me and Liberty, I will take the drive and know it was well worth the trip.

Couldn’t say enough good about this place. Very chill. No drinks, but good prices and very laid back. Like sitting in a living room smoking with a bunch of TVs

Great atmosphere with great company! Wide selection of pipes and cigars. I automatically feel at home here.

Went in today to get information about setting up a humidor. They were very informative and asked a lot of questions which made it easier to get me on the right track to setting up my humidor. They sold me just what I needed and nothing more. I will be definitely be going back for my cigar needs.

Racine and Laramie may have a slightly better selection, but with their limited space, it’s difficult to browse. I like this place because I like to take my time and look for sticks I’ve read about or would like explore without feeling claustrophobic.
I have shopped here several times and have always found the staff to very knowledgeable, courteous, and give you room to breathe when you just want to browse for a bit.
I was here most recently while my car was in for service next door. If you have some time to kill, this is an excellent man cave away from home. I grabbed a Davidoff, sat down in one of their comfy lounge-​ish chairs, and chilled with a book. The early to mid-​day crowd is very pleasant and welcoming to new-​comers such as myself (at least at that time of day).

Thought the staff was snotty. Went in to buy some inexpensive cigars for a backpack trip. I do have the occasional high end cigar but I was looking for a lower end product this time, they acted as if I came in begging for money. Will not come back here, you may want to be courteous and educational so that a customer comes back again, not these clowns

Liberty Tobacco has a great selection of goodies, a staff that is very knowledgeable, and is virtually a man-​cave home away from home.

Absolutely love this place. It’s not trendy, snobbish nor elitist. Liberty is a last bastion of maledom, good cigars, pipe tobacco, sports TVs and old movies (Thanks, Ron). And prices are reasonable. Take a look at all the plaques on the walls and you’ll see it’s a military-​friendly joint.

I’m not a cigar aficionado. I smoke 2 – 3 cigars a year on special occasions, and don’t really know much about cigars beyond the one or two brands I know and like. But damn… just walking into this place made me want to become a regular cigar smoker. Coming through the entrance was like walking into your buddy’s cozy man cave: guys sitting around on plush and puffy sofas, relaxing with their stogies and watching the multiple big-​screen TVs.
Combine that with a giant walk-​in humidor containing a vast selection, plus knowledgable and friendly staff, what more do you need?

Great selection. Decent prices. Courteous and helpful staff. Areas to smoke inside and a patio. Big screen TVs showing sports.

Yes I smoke cigars. I’m respectful and typically only do it in the privacy of my patio.
When I first walked into Liberty Tobacco I felt like I had just walked into someone’s living room. At first I felt a little awkward and unwelcome, but that feeling burned away in seconds. I realized they have just cultivated a very relax atmosphere that allows their customers to feel comfortable. They have three huge wall humidors as well as a walk in humidor.
Liberty Tobacco is one of the best places in San Diego that offers a HUGE variety of cigars that fit any budget. If you aren’t sure what you want or if you are just their for a gift, just ask anyone (other customers included). Everyone I have interacted with has been super friendly. Also, if you want to go ahead and enjoy your purchase on the spot, hop a seat on the couch or their patio and get comfortable… when you’re there, you’re family (eat your heart out Olive Garden!)
