el Leon Cigars

Was in Koreatown for dinner and decided to get some cigars for after dinner.
Stopped into el Leon where Lorenzo greeted us and joined us in the humidor.
Gave us some info about the history of the shop and their hand rolled cigars. Nice touch!
He asked what I liked to smoke and after a few other questions he recommended two possibilities of their brand cigars.
Had a nice chat about my hometown and left super happy.
Highly recommended.
You won’t regret stopping in here.

CHECK OUT HIS NEW LOCATION!! Lorenzo and El Leon have always been my go to place in LA for cigars. And his new space is awesome! A bigger humidor with a wider selection, a great smoking room with tvs and leather couches and chairs, and Lorenzo! He is knowledgeable, friendly and patient. An all around cool experience.

Yes its true ! One of the best shops in the country ! Thats right ! El leon cigars los angeles ! Lorenzo is the Best!!!
Hand rolled cigars , great people!
Thanks Lorenzo!

This place is top notch. Great people. Hand rolled cigars at an excellent price. I will certainly stop by this place every time I’m in LA. Thank you for a great experience!

The best cigar shop in Los Angeles, hands down. Noah is the most knowledgeable cigar guy in town and his prices are incredibly honest and fair. Cigars are hand-rolled on site by a Master roller, twice a week, and this is the ONLY place in LA that rolls its own cigars. Don't miss out on such a unique place!

The shop has a totally chill vibe for Noobies and regulars alike. The crew of regular customers create the warmest and most hospitable environment I've ever even seen in a cigar shop and I've been in the cigar business for 40 years. If you're hanging out anywhere else, you're doing yourself a great disservice. The entire Leon's crew is the best bunch of guys you'll find anywhere in SoCal.

Edit: Leon's is moving around the corner sometime in 2023.

My first experience here was great, Wonderful Cigars at an unbeatable price. The owner was extremely nice to me and can’t thank him enough. I must say I’ve tried some so called “high end” brands which fail to meet the fine construction and quality of the cigars in this shop. Overall two thumbs way up..!
Definitely making my way back and trying there unique selection also saving a bunch of cash.

Great, relaxed vibe, friendly people and fantastic in-house, hand rolled cigars.
One of the best cigars lounges I've ever visited. Highly recommend

Affordable cigars. Honest conversation. Had the privilege of meeting the owner and chatting with a member. Very cordial and deep, unlike LA culture. A gem in the rough.

Best place in town for CIGARS and good atmosphere, good music always playing.
Lorenzo (owner) has extensive knowledge about cigars and the origen of the leaves they are rolled from. He also does private events and has a roller making cigars at the event so you can experience how they are made and the different flavors and aromas.
It is a very small place but, big enough to enjoy and smoke a cigar.

We went there to buy cigars for our last evening in LA. The owner was so cool we wished we didn't have a party after to sit with him. The cigars were amazing and we will definitely keep an outstanding memory of that experience. The owner speak a lot of language especially French !

Stopped in yesterday and was helped/ educated by Lorenzo. Small shop with a very welcoming vibe. Lorenzo went over some fresh rolled options. I ended up getting four different sticks. Smoked one last night and WOW. On par with and better than some high end brands I have in my humidor. I'll definitely be back.

Great cigars, fantastic service. A flavor for everyone, fresh cigars rolled weekly. Import name brand cigars available as well, but I highly recommend giving their two leaf, or three leaf cigars a try. Have a seat, light up, chill out, share an experience.

The best shop in town for high quality and (best of all) FRESH cigars at reasonable prices. Lorenzo is a kind soul, as well. Check this gem out.

Been getting cigars from Leons Cigars since 1996. New location, same great cigars!

Located In The Cut. But They Had What Eye Needed. Eye Came In There For So e Blunts. They Had The Diamond Blunts. Thank You Leon Cigars. Because Of Your Store Eye Was Able To Medicate... You Can Not Go Wrong with Them Diamond Blunts....

First time here. Lorenzo is very helpful and a nice guy. Their Habano Rosado wrap is an absolute great smoke! I'll definitely be back!

What? Is this Havana? For years an amazing man has been old-school rolling amazing cigars right here in Koreatown. Stop by, check him out, buy some cigars. It's a trip to another place, another time. Go there.

Can't say enough of how much I'm grateful to find a place like this. Great cigars and even greater people. It so welcoming.

Wow !
Went here for the first time today and I will be coming back.
Lorenzo is a great guy.
Great place to get an after noon smoke.
Very friendly.

Great cigars and a super laid back lounge. Wish I could have stayed longer
