A MUST VISIT for tobacco lovers looking for a peaceful place within a restless world. This location has an impressive collection of extraordinary cigars paired with exquisite furniture and thoughtfully curated accouterments. I enjoyed a stunning Peter James Emergence by recommendation.
The best lounge in south Carolina. Amazing staff. GARY IS THE BEST. I love going here. I'll be back again and again
As someone who travels frequently and enjoys visiting cigar lounges from D.C. to Hawaii, I’ve come to appreciate the nuances that separate a good lounge from a great one — atmosphere, selection, and most importantly, hospitality. While this lounge is nicely appointed and carries a decent variety of cigars, the experience was completely overshadowed by the behavior of the staff. From the moment my wife and I walked in, we were met with a cold, dismissive attitude that bordered on outright hostility. It was clear we weren’t welcome, and the staff made no effort to hide it. Instead of the warm, laid-back vibe that defines the cigar culture, we were met with condescension and rudeness. What’s even more telling is how many other 1-star reviews echo this same experience. It’s a shame, really — the place has potential, but the staff clearly doesn’t understand or care about the hospitality aspect of this business. There are far better lounges out there that respect and welcome their patrons. I won’t be returning, and I suggest anyone who values being treated decently take their business elsewhere.
I've visited this shop several times over the past few years when I'm in town for business. The interior is very nice and the selection is great. The manager has always been very matter of fact, not rude, but not very welcoming. It's always been the same guy. I think, in his mind, he feels he is very "professional." Last night, I came in with 7 business associates and potential clients. We all bought cigars and beers. We had an 8th person join us who doesn't smoke and did not want to drink. He sat down to join us for conversation. The manager walked up to him and said, "If you're going to be in here, you need to buy something." I asked the manager, "Even though we just spent over $250 in his store, you are going to force our buddy to buy something??" He said yes, that's the rules. It ruined our whole vibe for the evening, and I just wanted to leave. I told him, I would never be back, he said, no problem. This guy has zero business sense, and if I were the owner, he would be gone. And if he is the owner, he's an idiot with no common sense or customer service. There was only one other person in there when we left, and after we had dinner, we walked back by, and there was no one inside. No wonder why. Great location, nice inside, but the manager was terrible.
It's definitely an upscale cigar lounge. I'm so used to cutting a lighting my cigar, I was thrown off when the gentleman offered a cut and light. The beer selection was great, and I saw some really good bottles of wine. $70 for a Lost City was hard to shake. I love Tatuaje, and they had Drac & Jason lancero cigars, so that was a win. Be careful if you bring a stick from outside as it's a $20 fee to cut a cigar you bring from outside. I understand it, tho. It helps to deter people from just coming into the lounge smoking and not purchasing anything. Does this count if I buy a cigar one day and come in to smoke it the next day?
