Westside Cigars ATL

Tucked into the Lee + White development on White Street SW, Westside Cigars ATL is exactly the kind of small business people love to root for. Look for the lime green shipping container next to the Atlanta Beltline Westside Trail, right by the boxcar restaurant. Owners Damon and Ronni have turned that container into a genuinely charming little cigar spot, and the word around Atlanta is that this is one of the best small cigar shops in the city.

Ask anyone who has stopped in and the first thing they mention is the welcome. Ronni gets called out again and again for her southern hospitality and her knack for steering you toward the right cigar based on what you like. Damon knows his products just as well, and folks who have chatted with him come away impressed by how much he understands about what is on the shelves. The selection is nicely curated, prices stay reasonable, and regulars tell us the recommendations here are what keep them coming back.

The atmosphere is a big part of the draw. There is outdoor seating just steps from the Beltline, so you can settle in, catch some sun, and enjoy a smoke. One regular summed it up simply: Westside Cigars is a vibe. We've heard about music, karaoke, games, and easy conversation, and it is the kind of place where people have parked themselves to watch a couple of football games and lose track of time. With the Westend breweries close by, plenty of people grab a drink nearby and wander over to sit and relax.

Even someone who does not smoke found it worth visiting just to support the shop and take in the setup. For a cigar shop in Atlanta with a chill feel, solid selection, and owners who treat you like a friend, this little green container earns its reputation. Look for the lime green container. You can't miss it.
