Scottish Tobacco

If you love a good cigar, Scottish Tobacco has earned its reputation as one of the finest spots in Atlanta to find one. Ask anyone who spends time here and they will tell you the selection runs deep, from premium names like Padron, Opus X, Davidoff, and Don Carlos to Caldwell, Perdomo, Plasencia, Byron, and Anastasia. There is something for every budget, and folks who know their sticks appreciate that a few aged cigars turn up for those who recognize them. Beyond the smokes, you will find accessories to match, including Prometheus lighters and Meerschaum pieces.

The heart of this place is the lounge. Regulars settle in for a comfortable smoke surrounded by TVs, and the crowd is as varied as Atlanta itself. One local described the mix as everyone from celebrities to APD to just genuine, down-to-earth people. The word around Buckhead is that this is the best cigar lounge in the area, and the welcoming, relaxed atmosphere keeps people coming back to relax and enjoy a stick.

Shafi and Manny are the names you will hear most. Both bring real cigar knowledge and take care of everyone who walks in, and locals consistently point to the friendly, professional service as a big part of the draw. As one regular put it, the customer service is second to none.

We will pass along one honest note we have heard: a few folks feel the humidor could use some tidying and reorganizing to keep everything in top shape. It is a small gripe against an otherwise excellent shop. For premium cigars, a comfortable place to smoke, and staff who genuinely know their craft, Scottish Tobacco is a real local favorite in Atlanta.
