El Jefe Cigar Co

"On a business trip and found El Jefe! A TREASURE! Very nice place. Staff were VERY nice and helpful. Atmosphere is top notch. Fairly priced compared to others. Great chairs, large TV, not cramped! Check this place out!"

"Great selection and very nice vibe. Staff was friendly and prices fair."

"Five Stars are given with no consideration for the problematic employee BUT her behavior must be addressed because it seems to be impacting business. LONG BUT INFORMATIVE REVIEW. As a faithful customer of El Jefe, I’ve always appreciated their impressive humidor selection and the inviting atmosphere of the lounge. It's a place that feels like a second home to many, including myself. However, recent experiences have led to some reservations. Mandy's demeanor, particularly her passive-aggressive nature, has been a recurring issue. I have tried, and encouraged others to overlook this, but it has come to a point where it can no longer go unaddressed. This culminated in a recent event where her behavior became notably unprofessional. While issues can arise in any establishment, it's important that they're addressed to maintain the venue's reputation. It's evident that the overall vibe has shifted since Damon left. His presence was integral to the lounge's character, and it's been different without him. Thankfully, Cricket has been a consistent bright spot, always kind and looking out for patrons. Bo's friendly and professional nature has also been consistent and appreciated. He managed a situation involving Mandy with tact, ensuring that other guests weren't affected by her erratic, rude, and unprofessional behavior. It's concerning that many of our friends, and others I've spoken to, opt to meet elsewhere when Mandy is working. Even more disconcerting are the whispers regarding Mandy's potential bias towards female clientele. While both male and female patrons have expressed discontent, it seems women, in particular, feel singled out. In conclusion, El Jefe remains a preferred spot for many of us, but addressing internal issues is crucial for retaining its loyal clientele and upholding its esteemed reputation."

"Gave it 5 stars because I was on a long layover and it was close to the airport. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and more welcoming. The place is very nice with a lot of seating. Only minor nitpick is the selection was a bit limited but served my purposes for the few hours I had to kill. I travel a lot and always look for a place if the layover unexpectedly causes a big delay and this was a great find!"

"I've been here a couple of times during my stay in Atlanta. Honestly, being my home away from home, staff was super friendly, and fellow patrons made me feel like one of them. I spent a couple of hours on my last day in Arlanta and wish I could come by more often. Will be back as soon as my travels find me back in Atlanta."
