  While visiting her daughter in NY, they took us to downtown Saratoga Springs. The first shop we see is the cigar shop. My husband and I are not cigar smokers but our neighbor, at our campground, is! We know absolutely nothing about cigars. The gentleman inside, lettuce in the right direction. I told him our neighbor did mention he loved a cigar that had a coffee flavor. The gentleman at the store picked out a chocolate and coffee flavored cigar. It was a hit! Our neighbor loved it. Thank you so much

  I was very excited to spend my time at James & Sons tonight. Very good atmosphere, helpful staff and friendly people. The selection of cigars was very satisfying. I was able to enjoy a Kristoff Vengeance Cigar and also purchased a Hemingway Signature. I plan on going back before my trip is over to have an espresso and cigar. If you''re in Saratoga and enjoy cigars stop in.

  James & Sons Tobacconists has been serving Saratoga Springs for more than a decade. The shop is in a historic 1866 building that was originally a bank and the vaults now contain cigar lockers. The selection is great, with all of the most sought-after brands as well as the standards. The dark wood, stuffed leather chairs, and decor are reminiscent of exclusive gentlemen''s clubs of yesteryear. In addition to the welcoming lounge in the front of the store and several window seats, all overlooking bustling sidewalks, James & Sons has three plush private smoking lounges for dues-paying members. Two of these have 24 hour access for members, including the English lounge overlooking historic Broadway and the Cuban room, which transports smokers to the home of fine Habana smokes. Lastly, the tobacconists and customers are a friendly crowd. James & Sons is easily the finest cigar community in Saratoga Springs and hard to beat anywhere in upstate New York.

  Totally horrible and do not recommend, as a cigar enthusiast. I bought 5 from a supposed roller on the sidewalk and by day 2, they all fell apart. Keep away. Pics later...

  Great place with an endless selection of cigars, majority of them from Nicaragua. You can find whatever you need there and guy is very helpful if you''re not sure what you''re looking for. There''s a few tables for customers to enjoy their cigars on site and even outdoors. One of my favorite spots in Saratoga.
