Cigar Studio 57 Too

Cigar Studio 57 Too has become one of the most talked-about cigar spots in Alpharetta, Georgia, and it is easy to hear why once you spend time inside. Under new ownership, the place got a full renovation, and the word around town is that the humidor doubled in size. Locals will tell you the selection is deep and well kept, everything from the Oliva Serie O to the Padrons that regulars swear the shop never runs out of. This is not the little cigar corner tucked into a liquor store. Ask anyone who shops here and they will point you to the wall of choppers, V-cutters, and humidors, plus a modest but genuinely nice run of pipe tobacco like Lane 1Q and cavendish.

The staff is a big part of the draw. People come in and ask for Jim, Ken, or Richard by name, and the story is always the same: patient, friendly, happy to walk a first-timer through selecting a pipe or breaking one in. One newcomer walked in for their very first cigar and left feeling completely welcomed, which says a lot. Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or just starting out, the crew here will talk through what you are after and steer you right. They also carry the accessories every cigar smoker ends up needing, lighters, ashtrays, cutters, and the Visol accessory that regulars have been raving about.

The back lounge is where this spot really earns its reputation. Comfortable chairs, TVs for the games, a separate room with a table if you need to take a call, plus a beer and wine bar and lockers for members. Best of all, we hear there is no fee just to sit and enjoy a smoke, so it has turned into a real gathering place for friends. If you shop here, keep your ID handy. One honest note we have heard: the smoking lounge could use better ventilation. Even so, the prices stay fair and the company stays lively, which keeps people coming back.
