Village Cigars

Yes, it’s still open. Would I consider it a cigar shop? Not even close. They had gas station level cigars, that’s about it. I read about this “iconic” cigar shop and walked 4 miles to get a few cigars. This place is a dump.

The staffer behind the counter was so helpful, answered all my questions and schooled me on cigars. 10/10 recommend.

This place has historical roots since this Smoke shop was seen in the featured film "Gimme The Loot" movie and I highly recommend that you all watch that film it's about the hassle of the hood-life in NYC. Thought I would share this with everybody who sees this. I myself was born in the projects of Queens so yeah I will always love New York even though Marxist communism had taken over most of the good states and are now mostly blue democratic run down and all I had to move on to a red state in Texas. Lived in New York all of my whole life it's very much sad that it isn't like it used to be growing up anymore. I will always be a city hood rat of NYC but life goes on. However, I had never shopped at this store but I still support it's historical roots.

If you are new to the city and want to go on a wild adventure. Start here on a Thursday -Saturday night.

This store has history; the triangle of land where the store sits was not sold to the city when it bought the whole neighborhood.

Came here to see the HESS TRIANGLE didn’t go inside the store, it was cool to see ,the area is pretty live with the night life, and the Pizza in the area is great

Good selection and excellent prices for a small store. Customer service is friendly and welcoming; the clerk even offered to cut my cigars. I should probably give a bonus star for the Hess spite mosaic on the sidewalk in front of the door and for its prominent position in the opening sequence of Manhattan.
