Emilio’s Humidor

Being from America, Cubans are illegal, so I, of course, would never enjoy one while in the states. The pictures give you an accurate idea of what the kiosk looks like, sitting in the middle of the shopping mall, which’ll help you locate it. The lady working it was very kind and helpful and can assist with any recommendations. There’s a sign before you enter that asks you not to touch the cigars; when you are ready to choose they’ll enter the humidor with you and pick them up, inspect it and place it on a plastic plate. They do have a rather small selection but the selection consists of the best. If you’re from the states, you’ll have an initial shock of the prices; cigar tax is $ 6.50 each and you can expect to pay double what you’d pay in America (this Is the same if you smoke cigarettes, $ 12−15/pack is normal). I chose a Monte #4 Havana for ~$ 25, they bagged it the best way I have seen, including a smaller bagging sprayed with something to maintain the humidity within the bag. Overall, I was quite satisfied for a quick, kiosk-​like humidor.

Are you on a business trip in Downtown Calgary and need to score a few Cubans? That would be Cigars not any reference to Seinfeld… Then Emilio’s Humidor is your place, which you can’t miss it when walking into the Eau Claire Market.
If US Customs is reading this review, they can relax. I don’t smoke, buy cigars, or stash any Cuban Rum into my carry-​on or checked baggage. What I really like about Emilio’s Humidor is the service, as I’m only going in to look at the cool accessories, admire the selection (well actually the boxes), and enjoy the cigar smell.

This store stands out like a sore thumb in Eau Claire Market. And I mean that in a good way.
It’s a kiosk, dead center of the Market, that carries cigars from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, the Philippines and Jamaica (just to name a few), along with cigarettes, accessories, and all the things that Dinah G. has already mentioned in her review.
What I especially loved about Emilio’s Humidor was the service. A wonderful store keeper showed me around and explained the differences between all the cigars. Thanks to him I walked out with THE perfect gift for a friend of mine.

I really like this little kiosk in front of the bean stop at the Eau Claire. This is a small little shop but it carries really nice selection of everything that has to do with cigars.
There are Zippo lighters, a good selection of cigarettes, classic and elegant table lighters, alcohol flasks, cigar holders, ashtrays, pipes, cigar tip cutters and a great cigar collection in the back of the kiosk with obviously the stars of the show, the cigars.
What really caught my eye however was the Lampe Bergers, which are used to eliminate tobacco smell in any room. Scented oil is poured in the Lamp Berger, it is then lit and it takes away any evidence of tobacco smell. These little puppies are really tasteful in design; in fact all items in store are tasteful in design and elegance.
Huge perk at Emilio’s are their great in stock items of premium Havana cigars. Nice!
