Cigar Source
Reviews
The thing that sets Cigar Source apart from the other shops in town is their dedication to good customer service. I walked in wide-eyed clearly with NO idea what I was looking for, and was immediately helped in finding the right cigar for me, without ever experiencing any"pushiness" that can come along with a first-time experience. They will take the time to educate you and make sure you're purchasing exactly what you need and want, and they do it with a pleasant demeanor. As someone who doesn't smoke a lot of cigars, I felt welcome and had a perfect experience. These guys know their stuff, but they're not pretentious about it. I will only go here from now on for my cigar needs!
They had a large selection of cigars. Seemed to have every CAO and RP available. Their prices seemed a bit higher than I expected in comparison to other b&ms in the DSM area. I lit up a cigar just purchased from there and it was a little dry. Pros: Tons of selection. Staff seemed knowledgeable. Cons: Humidor has one path that I dont think more than 3 people can walk around at a time. Higher priced and in order to smoke in their lounge you have to pay $10 a day or pay a monthly fee for membership. Some may consider this a plus, but for someone who doesnt live nearby, i didnt care for it
My first time walking into this store - the atmosphere felt right. The help I got was terrific, and I was definitely certain by the time I walked out that this is the only cigar store in Des Moines that should have my business. I go through about a cigar a day, and so this store is the one I'm glad to support. I would recommend it to everyone.
