Cigars of Tally

If you are after real tobacco in Tallahassee, Cigars of Tally has earned itself a strong reputation as a proper tobacconist rather than just another smoke shop. Ask anyone who takes their cigars seriously in this college town and they will point you here, where the focus is squarely on quality cigars, pipe tobacco, and the accessories that go with them. Locals appreciate that the shelves aren't cluttered with glass; this is a place that leans into real tobacco and does it well. The humidor is what people talk about most.

We've heard it called one of the best in North Florida, kept at proper specifications so the cigars stay fresh and ready. Regulars come back for premium sticks, and a few will tell you they favor the My Father brands and the Oliva V series when they want something special. The staff know their inventory and will help you find something good at any budget, which folks around here genuinely value. If you call ahead with an order, they will have it waiting, and yes, that reportedly includes making it worth the trouble for a driver who parked an 85 foot rig out front.

It's a family run store, and the owner has a name for being knowledgeable, honest, and easy to talk to. People swear by the friendly service, and more than one person has described it as the kind of shop where you can sit down, light one up, and swap a few stories. That said, opinions aren't unanimous. A pipe smoker or two has grumbled about tinned tobacco pricing and a mix-up over pipe materials, so it never hurts to look closely and ask questions before you buy.

Even so, the word around Tallahassee is that this is the place to go for cigars, and the vast majority who walk in leave happy and come back again.
