    Went there for the first time yesterday. I had a good experience! Even though the guy that was working there at the time kept staring at me.. but other than that I had a great time. They have good amount of variety of cigars and beers. Ended up buying 3 different Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust cigars and smoked one of them there. I met 2 humble gentleman Joe and Joe great guys! Definitely will return in the future.

    What’s not to like??? Great selection of cigars. Marty is welcoming like your coming to his house. Very comfortable seating as well as the bar. Watched some college ball. Nice respite between doing the “honey do list”. Cya again soon.

    Pleasant staff, large selection of fine cigars. Chairs so comfortable you could sleep in them. Even when it was full of customers the smoke was not ever that bad. Reccomend to anyone regardless of if you know cigars are don’t and are learning. Everyone is willing to throw their opinions out to help you.

    I stopped by to visit this cigar bar. A largecselection of good cigars. David greeted me and helped me select a few of my favorite cigars. I smoked one with a beer, at the bar, and then took the rest home. There were about 6 other guests enjoying a cigar. Definitely a place I would stop again, when in the area.

    Would highly recommend! Good Cigar Selections, nice crowd & staff. I enjoy coming here with my husband. Plus they carry my Corona premiers, since I’m not a cigar smoker! 😉

  • 5/5 Timmy S. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice well run cigar shop. Selection and supplies are always plentiful. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I especially like that they are very Perdomo friendly. I've been smoking Perdomos since 2004 and know Nick and the family well. I've been coming here for a while now, but just realized no review. Sorry about that. Living about 30 miles north, I don't get here as much as I would like, but when I am in the area, I always make stop and grab some sticks. Also, I enjoy getting my text message updates on special events and promotions. Thanks for all you do!

    A very nice cigar bar! Great atmosphere and service. I asked for some advice and came home with three sticks. Wide selection of cigars and plenty of comfortable leather chairs to enjoy them in. Not tomention a number of beers on tap. Will certainly be back here soon!

    I moved here from Pennsylvania last week. I found Maduro and feel right at home. The people are super friendly and welcoming. Best cigar bar ever!!!! It’s worth going to this location. Great selection of cigars as well. Thanks Paul!

    Great little hideaway to hang out and talk with friends or conduct business. A healthy cigar selection and several beers on tap.

  • 5/5 Robert L. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice cigar lounge with a nice selection of cigars and craft beer. Good people and excellent service! Getting in and out can be a small issue due to mall traffic

    My gosh! The personal touch of hospitality goes a long way here. Dee Dee was so knowledgeable and super friendly with cigars and wine tasting. Last night Frank Sinatra vibes were in the building for 2 hours serenading us. Perfect for a Tuesday to relax and unwind. Love this place, love the owners and I highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Allan K. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent and welcoming establishment. Its usually the owners and management that make the difference and that is definitely the case at Maduro. The owners pay close attention to detail and their customers. Paul is a true gentlemen who knows his trade and Dee Dee is as sweet as the day is long. Very fortunate to be a regular here! Special event or winding down after work, its always a pleasure.

    My husband used to be in monthly for a box of cigars, no issues, everyone friendly and helpful while he chose a different box to try. About 3 months ago I stopped in to pick up a box and the guy running the counter was unfriendly and acted like I was a complete waste of his time. My husband was on the phone with me and the guy and noticed too. We thought he was having a bad day. Hubs stopped in and got the same treatment the next month from the same guy. This last time was the same. Rude, short and curt. We will not be back. It's a shame because the owner is friendly and the atmosphere used to be welcoming. I don't know what changed but we miss the old atmosphere.
