Art of Cigars

Art of Cigars is a favorite among cigar lovers in Atlantic Beach, Florida, and one of the highest-rated spots of its kind around here. The heart of this shop is Wendy, the owner, and locals will tell you she is the reason to come in. She greets you the moment you walk through the door, and she knows her cigars inside and out. Tell her the flavor profile you are chasing and she will steer you right, whether you are a seasoned smoker or a total novice just starting to figure out what you like.

The selection is genuinely good, and people who shop here swear by Wendy's recommendations. She keeps up on the back stories behind the cigars too, from Drew Estate to plenty of others, and she loves sharing that history. Ask anyone who shops here and they will mention the conversations as much as the cigars. Beyond the smokes, they carry any accessory you could need.

A few folks have picked out something special here for anniversaries and gifts, and word around town is that the shop delivers when the occasion matters. A friendly note that a couple of regulars love: keep an eye out for Percy Blue. The vibe is relaxing, dog-friendly, and easygoing, the kind of place where a quiet Saturday browse can turn into a real conversation. Fair to say Wendy is hands-on and happy to talk, so if you would rather browse in total silence, she is not the leave-you-alone type.

Most people come for exactly that reason. As one regular put it, this is a favorite local spot to relax and enjoy a great stogie with amazing company. If you love cigars and appreciate someone who truly knows them, Art of Cigars is worth the trip.
