Shore Thing Cigars

Shore Thing Cigars sits in a retail and restaurant center in Watersound, and the word around town is that it's an easy place to pull off 30A for a cigar and a cold drink. Walk in and a bartender greets you with craft beer and wine, and past the lockers in the back you'll find the humidor. Locals will tell you the cigars are kept humidified well, with names like Davidoff, Arturo Fuente, and Padron on the shelves. The Luke Bryan Davidoff comes up again and again as a favorite among folks who stop through.

The vibe here leans bright and clean rather than the old dark-wood cigar room look. There's a bar with plenty of TVs playing sports, comfy chairs, a couch, and a screened-in porch if you'd rather sit outside in the sun. Smoking is allowed inside, though on a nice day plenty of people take their cigar out to a table on the porch. We've heard the staff will happily cut and light your cigar and set you up, and one visitor who came all the way from Houston still remembered how relaxed the whole afternoon felt.

Country music, good drinks, and a spot that's genuinely pleasant to linger in. Ask anyone who shops here and the strong reputation across town speaks for itself. People passing through on bikes and travelers alike make a point to stop, and regulars come back for the selection and the laid-back feel. Now and then you'll hear the odd grumble about service on a busy day, but the overall word is that it's a classy, welcoming place to enjoy a smoke and a beer.

If you're in the Watersound area and want a good cigar with a drink, Shore Thing Cigars is worth a visit.
