The Cuban Seed Cigar Company

«A regular cigar is no good, and a good cigar ain’t cheap» This is the perfect place to shop for cigars, or take a load off and have a great smoke. The owner Laith is a doctor when it comes to cigars, just tell him what you like and he will introduce you to a fine cigar to your liking.

This place is pretty much what you want in a cigar shop. Good ownership, good people, and good cigars!

Laith was super helpful when I came in looking for a gift. He knew exactly what to pair with the scotch I had bought. I will definitely be coming back for future gifts.

Great little place, very comfortable and relaxed setting, nice selection of house blends and the star are very nice and welcoming. I am definitely coming back again. Parking is a little ruff but other than that it’s all good.

I have been hearing about this place from a friend for the past couple of years, and I finally made it in this week. They hand make all of their own cigars… Wow! What a difference! I had a blend modeled after the Cohiba Behike (one of the most exclusive cigars available). I thought that it was absolutely outstanding… And less than ¹⁄₃ the price! I am hooked! If you like the best of the best (and can afford to pay a little more than the mass produced brands), this place is an absolute MUST! Five stars in my book!

I am a fanatical follower of Cuban Seed Cigar Company. It’s no secret that I crave Cuban Seed’s cigars almost every time I look at their pictures on Instagram. It’s cigar porn to me.
Cuban Seed (CS) has some of the best blends and mixes of cigars that I’ve ever tried. Whenever I’m in that side of town, I always make it a point to stop by CS and drop some serious dough to make sure I have enough for my fix, so I’m well stocked before I have to get more. Their cigars are modeled after actual Cuban blends that are out there. Although they are house blend cigars, and believe me, you would catch me dead before I buy house blends elsewhere, CS has a mastery when it comes to creating their cigars I wouldn’t think twice about spending the money I do on them. Their cigars scream quality all the way around, especially with their construction and oils on the cigar.
My favorite blends so far have to be the Partagas D-​4s, Romeo Stout, H. Upmann Sir Winston, and their Behike. Try a few and you’ll instantly be hooked and see the light! In my experience a few of the cigars can be a bit spicy at first at the foot, but once you pass through a few puffs, the flavors should really mix well and create a creamy smooth (but not sweet) smoke.
My fellow cigar acolytes and I just purchased a bunch of Monte 520, so I can’t wait to try it! Oh, and I got a Bolivar for myself. I just could not resist.
Disclaimer: These are named after their counter-​part Cuban blends. CS carry cigars that are Cuban seed, but are grown and manufactured outside of Cuban. The flavors will be close, but not quite identical for that reason.

This establishment is hands down the best cigar shop in LA. While I love the selection at other shops, the selection here is unique and the tastiest in town. Besides having an amazing selection the man who works there and the company found there makes this my one stop shop when I come to LA.

Stop by last night to pick up one of their «Cohiba Behike» blends and Laith the owner remembered me from over four months ago when I stopped in to pick up a few sticks. He even remembered what I ordered which is the mark of a true professional business man. But this place is awesome. House blends are the best I’ve had since I started indulging, and like I told Laith the only downside to this place is the parking. He gave me a few options for parking on my next visit where I will definitely be back to enjoy my favorite «Cohiba Blend.» Stop by the lounge next time you are in WEHO.

Been hearing about this spot for a while so I made the drive to satisfy my curiosity. Best decision I made. All of the reviews I have read are on point! Laith is one of the best owner/​host I have encountered. The place is small but Very big with personality. As for the smoke it was Wonderful! Cohiba Behike blend is well worth the 22 buck price tag. Will be back to try more of his products!!!

This place is fantastic.
Great selection of cigars, comfortable seating, tv, etc.
Perfect place to unwind with a cigar.
I’ve been there with a buddy of mine a few times and Zeke was very helpful and informative.
If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a cigar and kill some time with good company, this is the place for you.

This place kind of feels like my second home. Really cozy environment, great people and the cigars are amazing I recommend 777 for starters ;P

Love this place. Great cigars, wonder service and ambiance.

This is a truly great cigar maker, and lounge. The owner, Laith Haddad, is incredibly welcoming, and not only introduces you to the handmade cigars, but also goes out of his way to introduce all visitors to the other regulars. In fact, it’s the first cigar lounge I’ve visited where almost all regulars just immediately introduce themselves to everyone, when they enter. It’s a great community. In addition, the cigars are fantastic — Laith has been having them made for many years, and the pride of ownership is evident, and the quality of the smokes is fantastic. I look forward to checking out their new location down on Sunset.

As an avid cigar smoker with a very particular palate, I’ve been searching for a cigar shop in Los Angeles that could meet my needs for over ten years. After moving to West Hollywood, I have finally found it. The owner, who manufactures his own cigars from Cuban seeds at his own plants in Nicaragua and Honduras blends his own version of all of my favorite sticks. The humidor is complete with Montecristo, Romeo & Julieta and Cohiba blends that will blow your mind. Perfectly constructed and incredibly flavorful. The atmosphere is great and the people are from every walk of life. Tasty cigars and great conversation. Try Laith’s version of the Monte 4 and sit back and relax.

The best cigars in town. Any other cigar is a waste of money. The cigars and service are both top notch. I’ve never had a better cigar in my life. Try the 18 year Churchill

5– star 5-​star 5-​star! This is the place to go for some good stogs and just to chill. Very nice people running the place (Laith and Raman) who are very nice with your questions.
They also make their own cigars from Honduras and Nicaragua. And they are actually good. They are aged upwards of 12 – 18 years and are upper leaf tobacco (meaning less of the ammonia in the leaf).
Since I had to spend 4 hours looking at Prada bags with my wife I demanded I cut away for 2 hours to reclaim a little bit of my manhood. And what a great choice I made. These were some of the best cigars I’ve smoked in a while. And the owner was really nice in just talking with all of us and having a good time.
Now don’t think they aren’t cheap, but they are a very good value for the money. $ 12-​$ 28 for tobacco aged longer than most super-​premium cigars that can cost twice that is a great deal.
You can’t get any better than this for a tobacconist. They also ship cigars. I may become a regular (shipments-​wise) since I live in San Francisco. I’m stopping by every time I’m in this city.
If you want a good drink while smoking there is a nice wine ship nearby.
Oh yeah bring coins or credit cards for street parking. It is tough on Sunset. Meter maids are especially brutal in this area.

I really enjoyed my experience here! Every time I’ve purchased any of their cigar’s house stuff, big named cigars I’ve been completely satisfied. The owner is very helpful. I explained the type of smokes I enjoy he made some recommendations and delivered. Great place to smoke good smokes and with a very good vibe. I’ll stop by anytime I’m in that part of town. Parking is a little rough, it’s definerly worth it though.

A bunch of friends and I went here for a Bachelor party one Saturday evening. Zeke, the owner/​proprietor, made sure to accommodate our large group and give special attention to the bachelor. The cigars were reasonably priced and and the selection was pretty decent. There were a number of custom blends to try, but I stuck with the classic Romeo & Juliet.
We basically took over the small lounge and enjoyed our cigars. Parking is tough because it’s on Sunset and you can’t buy any drinks here, but if you want to grab a cigar and chill with your friends for a while this is a great place to do it. Thanks for everything, Zeke.

This place epitomizes what a cigar shop is to me, a nice relaxing time smoking a cigar with cool people. Every time I’ve been there, I’ve met some nice cigar smokers. I even saw Leonardo DiCaprio walk in and buy some sticks one time (he’s tall, by the way). He made small talk with the staff and some customers.
The cigar selection is small to medium sized, but it is very adequate to find a good smoke. They have a large selection of cigars blended and rolled just for them.
The staff working there know that cigar smoking is about socialization and relaxation. They’re going to treat you right and make you fell welcome. They’ve got sports games on so you can light up and kick back in one of their leather seats. There’s room for about 10 people to sit down.
Watch where you park! There’s a public parking lot on Sunset on the next block east.

I’ve seen this place for over a year now so I stopped by here on my way into Century City and I had a little time to kill.
I wasn’t too amazed at what they had, but what makes this place unique is that they make their own cigars, which is pretty sweet. What I didn’t like what all the employees were lookin at me funny and didn’t really help me unless I asked them for some help.
They have a seemingly small shop and it’s very dark which I usually like a little light in the store to show what they have to offer.
I will say that it smelled nice and sweet in there. The whole place was like a humidor.
They had a good selection f cigars, but I didn’t know any of them; and just because they’re called «Cuban Seed» doesn’t make them any more cuban than the other cigars from Nicaragua, Honduras, or Mexico, because all of those ARE cuban seed as well. Silly isn’t it?
But key here is homemade cigars. Enjoy.
