Our Story
Since 2006, West Coast Cigars has been the Bay Area's quiet corner for slowing down — a modified old farmhouse on Almaden Road where regulars call it a second home and first-timers leave with new friends. No seating charge. Just buy a cigar, settle into the yard, and stay as long as you like.
Twenty years in, we've kept what mattered and refreshed what needed it — a growing humidor of fifty-plus premium brands, two polished lounges, a yard built for long afternoons. Whether you're brand-new to cigars or deep in the hobby, our staff will help you find the right smoke for the moment.
