I travel out of my way to come here. The staff have always been welcoming without being overbearing or snobby. The shop is tidy and well-stocked. It is my favorite cigar shop by far in the Seattle area.
Was in need of a Father’s Day gift & found the perfect variety for my husband. They have over 500 cigars of all types and brands. The store representatives were super helpful and very knowledgeable. My husband enjoyed each cigar in our hand picked set. We will be back for more
I love Rain City because they have a great selection and very knowledgeable and helpful staff. They store all of their product well so that is in good condition when you buy it. The staff can tell you about the cigars, whats going on in the industry, and recommendations based on what you like. I have shopped here for many a year and never been disappointed.
Stopped in to buy some empty cigar boxes and they were friendly and helpful.
Love this little shop. Great people, nice inventory of cigars and everything else you would need or want in store.. well maybe some plush leather chairs and a place to sit down and smoke would be nice as well. We can only hope. Cheers
After making a substantial purchase I cant help but feel unsatisfied. I was helped by a younger guy with long hair and a shaw and the whole time felt as though my newbie questions were an inconvenience for him and felt as though I had to extract my awnser from him. Although the shop seemed to have had a decent selection of cigars I would not expect to get great service as a new smoker. I am pretty disappointed especially since this shop is 1 mile from my work and I also work with quite a few cigar heads who dont know it is there.
I have been a pipe and cigar smoke now for quite some time, and as I try to support local at every chance, normally I gravitated toward Rain City Cigar. It is what I would call a true cigar shop. It may not have a walk in humidor for the public, but they maintain a precise and dedicated space for the fine art of cigar smoking.In my pursuits, they have always been professional and friendly. I have been able to attend events, gain knowledge and keep my modest humidor stocked with a varietal of the most exquisite examples of cigar craftmanship. Never once have I felt toxicity or any pretentious tone.That leads me to the reason for my post. I had not visited for some time, primarily due to Covid. I made the trek yesterday, January 16th. I did not ask the name of the gentleman working that day, though I should have. I cautiously entered, adorned in my mask, and asked the the occupancy limit. He stated he preferred no more than three, then thanked me for asking. Since only one other person was there, I moved inside, keeping respective distance. He explained to me that I could either sanitize and help myself, or wait for him to gather my selections. I stated that if it was all the same to him, I would point out my selections, which would minimize my presence even further. He kindly agreed.He was helpful, attentive, and more than knowledgeable. But that is not the reason for my writing this. Yes, he was a model representation of Rain City Cigar, and an ambassador of the cigar smoking community. Of that, I have nothing but praise. However, it was his humanity and candor that moved me. As I shopped, we discussed the situation present in the world, of which both of us were weary. We traded gestures of concern and protocol, thanking each other along the way. It was a moment we solidified with an acknowledgement of how, in the most challenging of circumstances, a little patience, and kindness, can do so much and in minute supply with little to no effort. It was his kindness that drew me in, and gave me one of the best parts of that day. Rain City, if you read this, this man is golden. He is a gem. And he is the type of person I wish I encountered more often. Cheers, to him, whomever he may be. Thank you for the human interaction, in an unprecedented time. All the best.
My go to for cigars. I always ask the staff to help me pick and have never been dissatisfied. Store is kinda small but gets the job done. They have brand name sale events all the time. Plus they have a huge inventory out back. Just ask if you dont see something.
Great selection of unique, quality cigars and friendly, expert help.
Nice small shop with wide selection of fine cigars and ancillary items.
Nice people great selection.
Hands down the best tobacconist in Seattle. Well worth the trip to Georgetown. Highly knowledgeable staff, and great selection of cigars and pipe tobacco.
Really nice shop. Helpful staff that spent the time to show me all sorts of pipe tobacco. The look and feel of the shop is just as you expect, warm woods and humidors full of good products.
Awesome selection of cigars..... and very well organized and displayed. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Excellent prices. Great location with plenty of parking too. This will definitely be my go-to cigar store in Seattle. Thanks!
Great spot to pick up your favorites or try something new. Always helpful folks available if needed. Plenty of parking. Go check it out if you havent been.
Friendly staff, always eager to help. Have never steered me wrong. Love their special events.
Great location, easy in and out with ample parking. Staff are inviting and helpful. They give great recommendations. They are more than happy to seek out and secure the specific cigar you are after. However they have an ample selecton for stepping out of your usuals. This is a must stop for me when Im in Seattle. I dont bother bringing any smokes with me when Im headed to SEATAC
Easily the best cigar shop in Seattle. Prices are as good as it gets, outside of the unfair price advantages of a reservation or out of state mail order. The selection of cigars is the best there is around here, it is not just ok. If you do not see it, ask one of the staff. They will treat you like gold and do not mind talking with you. As to pipes. They have good selection of them and a but small but good pipe tobacco selection in bulk. Not much in the way of tins. Its better than most in this sad part of the world. Pipes are a sideline to them.
This is the best cigar shop in Seattle. If you know what youre looking for, youre probably going to be very happy you found this place. No where in town has a better selection. Go here.
5 stars all the way. The staff is awesome. They support the military and put together a nice array of cigars for me while I was deployed in the Arctic. Stop on by and spend some money on some decently priced smokes!
Great selection and great staff
The selection of cigars they have is top notch. The staff is also very helpful and knowledgeable if you have any questions. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.

It doesnt get any better in the greater Seattle area. This store has all my favorites and is consistently getting in new gems to try.
Staff seems less knowledgeable lately -- today makes twice they didnt believe they carry a cigar they actually have. Otherwise, good selection, good management.
