Hiland's Cigars

Ask anyone in Scottsdale who takes their cigars seriously and Hiland's Cigars comes up fast.

Carrillo, and Arturo Fuente, along with J.C. Newman, Brick House, Montecristo, Cohiba, CAO, Drew Estate, Deadwood Tobacco, and JM Cigars.

One newer smoker credited Brandon with steering him toward a fuller-bodied stick he ended up loving, patient guidance that turned into loyalty. Candice gets shout-outs too for tracking down exactly what folks came in for. It's the kind of place where the owner, Jake Highland, will call you personally to sort out a concern. That level of care runs through everything here, whether you're standing at the counter or ordering from across the country. Speaking of that, Hiland's has built a strong online presence alongside the shop, and the word is their shipping is quick and their packaging keeps everything protected and fresh.

People from the East Coast order and see it show up in about five days in perfect shape. Between the selection, the honest prices, and staff who never rush you off the phone, it's easy to see why so many customers stick around for years.
