We had a great time...great knowledge and price. Out of interest I asked ChatGPT to flavor profile the cigar pack...read the last line...it sums up Harry's "Big Smoke (Cigar Harry’s house cigar) That leftmost band with the cartoonish face is Big Smoke, one of Cigar Harry’s own blends. Flavour profile: Creamy cedar Toasted biscuit Light nuttiness (almond, cashew) Gentle sweetness rather than spice Very little pepper Strength: Mild Mood: Easygoing, fireside chat, won’t shout over your pint. 2️⃣ Don Pepín García Original (Blue Label) Clear as day now. This is the spice merchant of the bunch. Flavour profile: Black and red pepper straight off the light Earth and leather Espresso bitterness Dark cocoa Pepper fades slightly, richness stays Strength: Medium–Full Mood: Confident. Borderline bossy. Knows it’s good. 3️⃣ El Triunfador Lancero That long, slender one with the oval band. Classic. Flavour profile: Refined cedar Cocoa powder Sweet baking spice Mineral earth Pepper is present but civilised Strength: Medium Mood: Elegant, deliberate, a cigar that rewards slow thinking. 4️⃣ Padrón Serie 1964 Anniversary (Natural) That gold-and-black circular band with “1964” style cues. This is serious kit. Flavour profile: Rich cocoa Fresh coffee grounds Nutty sweetness Earthy depth Smooth black pepper Long, luxurious finish Strength: Medium–Full Mood: Sit down. Pour something decent. Silence phones. 5️⃣ Padrón Serie 1926 (Maduro) The darker, heavier sibling. This one doesn’t mess about. Flavour profile: Dark chocolate Espresso Molasses sweetness Walnut Deep earth Almost chewy richness Strength: Full Mood: Night-time, slow burn, existential reflection encouraged. 6️⃣ Platina – Oro de Nicaragua Rightmost, lighter wrapper, star motif. Flavour profile: Creamy cedar Toast and hay Caramel sweetness Light white pepper Occasional citrus or floral lift Strength: Mild–Medium Mood: Relaxed, sociable, won’t fatigue your palate. 🔥 Suggested smoking order (trust me) Big Smoke Platina El Triunfador Lancero Don Pepín García Padrón 1964 Padrón 1926 (last, always last) Anything else and the Padróns will bully the rest into silence. If you want, next round we can: pair each one with beer, whisky, or rum or I can tell you which are keep-for-a-year vs smoke-now candidates You’ve got a very respectable lineup there. Someone at Cigar Harry’s did you a solid 😌🔥"

Great shop! Nice selection. Full price range, low to all the way up. You want a 20 year aged cigar they have it. Staff is awesome. Great recommendations. Friendly, nice lounge area and also seats out front for an outside smoke.

I used to come here a lot many years ago. I am a bit disappointed at the changes though. I do not recall having to pay a $25 minimum to sit and smoke. Overall though the cigar I smoked was great and the vibe was nice.

Had a fantastic experience here when visiting from the UK. The gent running the shop, I believe it was Bret? was super welcoming and friendly. He was not pushy in a sales way but did offer insights and advice as well as holding general conversation with us regarding our holiday from the UK. We really enjoyed our visit to this store and will certainly be returning when we come back to Philly. Great selection of cigars at really good prices. Nice selection of accessories too.

Great selection, a lot of cigars you can’t normally get your hands on. Great vibe and friendly staff/ patrons. It’s 100% a hidden gem for anyone visiting.
