Total Wine & More

At Total Wine & More in Atlanta, the draw for cigar lovers is that walk-in humidor, a stylish, climate-controlled room where you can browse at your own pace and pick out something worth the occasion. Alongside the cigars you'll find smoking accessories, and the whole place is built on the kind of scale that makes it easy to find what you came for.

The staff here get talked about a lot, and by name. People still mention Dennis for his wine picks, along with Patti and John, and Jayce gets credit for making first-time visitors feel welcome the moment they walk in. If you want a recommendation, folks who shop here say the team is easy to find on the floor and genuinely happy to help. One shopper came in chasing a good Pinot Noir and left thrilled after Connor pointed them toward a bottle from Caliveda.

The word around Atlanta is that this is a well-regarded spot, and the numbers back it up, with a strong reputation earned over hundreds of visits. Regulars point to the fair prices compared to grocery-store shelves, the rewards program that's quick to earn and redeem, and the good parking that makes a run here painless. We've heard it described as dangerously walkable from the hotels near the convention center too, so it pulls in both locals and folks passing through.

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the selection runs deep across the whole store, with plenty of hard-to-find items you won't turn up elsewhere. For the cigar side of things, that humidor and the knowledgeable crew make it an easy stop in Atlanta.
