I came up from CT to visit my cousins for the holidays, and heard about Victory from my Uncle. My first impression was a good one upon walking in. Great selection in the walk in humidor, very nice decor, comfortable couches, and a bar. However my experience was all downhill from there...
It very quickly became very loud and hard to find a seat. All the patrons seemed to be middle-aged family men, pretending  to enjoy cigars so that they could escape their wives and children for a few miserable hours and reminisce about the high school football. A select few patrons weren't even smoking cigars, just cigarettes.
One lady acted as bartender, waitress and cigar-cashier. Understandably she was very busy, however I found her demeanor to be very brusque. She asked to see my cousin and my own IDs, sold us the cigars, then proceeded to tell us that she could not serve us because it was an out-of-state ID. I am still confused as to why she sold us the cigars, but not alcohol?
I will not be going back.
This is a true hidden gem. I was really impressed by this cigar bar. Coming from Boston, it was really nice to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. It was also an absolute joy to see cigar prices minus inflation! I had the Casa Magna Colorado (a deep, rich, full bodied smoke), which normally cost $15 bucks in the city--$9 at Victory's!!!
While the ventilation system (or lack thereof) leaves much to be desired, I was there during less than busy hours so I didn't really mind. There's also a really cute patio with nice spacious seating which makes this place really unique in my opinion. Its a nice feature to have and really adds to the home like comfort feeling that's very inviting.
Victory Cigar has a really mellow feel to it. It's as if you're in your own home (or a friends home who doesn't mind you smoking;). This may or may not be the feel you're looking for, but as someone who really appreciates a good cigar, I'm actually more attracted to places where the focus is on the enjoyment of the cigar as opposed to the social aspects.
It's nice to know that one can still find the finer things in life outside of a big city. Â My wife and I happened to discover Victory Cigar Ltd. and were amazed by this great find.
When rating any cigar bar there several important considerations and I would like to mention a few ways in which Victory hits the mark. Â First cigar selection. Â Victory's walk in humidor (properly maintained at 73%) is on point. Â They have a top notch selection featuring several DR and my favorite Nicaraguan tobaccos. Â (Brands featured include several varities in each of the following lines Ashton, Rocky Patel, Don Pepin Garcia, CAO, Casa Magna and Monte Cristo, among others. Â You will surely find something fitting to your individual palette. Â Second, liquor selection. Â Again another mark. Â Victory offers an extensive selection of single malts (I had an Oban), blends, bourbons, and even cognacs. Â It is a full service bar so if you are simply looking for a great drink in a relaxed atmosphere this is the place. Â Lastly, a knowledgeable and courteous staff. Â Here Victory is the victor once again. Â The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Â
I would recommend taking the trip to Sudbury to take in the relaxing countryside and enjoy a fine smoke in a homey and relaxing atmosphere.
A friend of mine took me there tonight for a good cigar, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that not only they have a great selection of a full body cigars, they have an outstanding selection of single malt scotch. I truly enjoyed my experience tonight and I'm looking forward to my next visit.
Review Source:This bar had all the potential in the world, but ended up being an unprofessional let down. I hosted a party there for my boyfriends' surprise 40th birthday and here are some of the "highlights"
* Our party didn't hit the $2,500 party minimum, so we had to pay $1,100 out of pocket. We were happy to make up the difference (we had agreed to do so in advance), but we wanted to make a purchase for the difference and not just give them money for nothing in return. At first the owner said they'd at least give us a $500 gift certificate, but they reneged on that offer for no reason. How nice for them to get $1,100 and not have to dispense an ounce of liquor or give out a single cigar ...
* Their communication was awful. I started planning the party 6 months in advance, and thank goodness I did! They took 3 weeks to return every call or e-mail. I had to call and e-mail about a half a dozen times just to get one response. After our party, they were even harder to get a hold of. (Shocking) The owner and the manager were out of the country for two weeks together right after the party, so we couldn't reach them, and yet they accused us of not being in touch quick enough.
* We assumed a cigar bar would have some sort of ventilation system. There "system" is opening the back door.
* A friend of mine asked for a Red Bull - because the bartender was drinking one - and the bartender told my friend that these were her "personal stash". How delightful.
* One of the reasons we had to rent out the entire fascility to begin with (and pay the $2,500 party minimum, as opposed to a smaller minimum) is because the manager told us she wouldn't be able to track sales of our party vs. the rest of the bar. If you don't have systems in place, perhaps you shouldn't offer parties. Additionally, the entire time we were planning the party, I was promised that a renovation and expansion project would be done before my party, and it was not. Luckily we fit, but had I had more guests, I guess we just would have been screwed.
I've never worked with a venue with such little interest in catering to the needs of their customers. It was such a cute concept (which is why I made my friends and family drive all the way to Sudbury from the North Shore), but they did not deliver.
I've been there a couple times with folks from work. It's actually very close to where I work and it's nice to have any sort of cigar place nearby. They have a good selection of cigars in their humidor and a very small bar, so you can get drinks with your smokes, a good thing.
However, overall the place is really small, and their ventilation system, when I've been there, isn't enough to get rid of the smoke when crowded. I know, it sounds funny, but while I want to enjoy my sticks, I don't want to be overwhelmed with excess smoke in their from other smokers.
They have 2 or 3 small tables out in front, which avoids the smoke issue, however they are stuck in a minuscule patio between the entrance and parking lot - so you basically feel like you are smoking IN the lot.
The staff have always been great, I should mention. A place on the end of their little plaza had opened up a few months ago - I wish they had tried to move into it and possibly built a smoking deck off the side for more relaxed and private seating.
I may hit the place again but would be far more inclined to go if they moved into a much larger space with better ventilation and seating, indoors and out...
This cigar bar is my suburban favorite. Although its maybe not the cigar bar you'd find in the city, it suits Sudbury perfectly. No problems with dress codes, no 21+ bs, no pretentious crap. Walk in, they have a very nice humidor, very comfy leather sofas, big TVs, nice bar. In the humidor, your allowed to peruse at your leisure...no one hanging over you- it's very casual. You're provided with help if desired or you can go it alone. I've always been rung out and cut very promptly. Whenever I sit down I'm offered a drink or some free popcorn. In general I have had a very positive experience. On game days there's usually a nice crowd hanging out. My only complaint is that their new ventilation system creates a current of air around the smoking area that is annoying when trying to sit in serenity with your cigar. Overall I really like this place.
