Got Cigars?

At Got Cigars? in Decatur, the humidor is the heart of it, but the room is what people talk about. Ask anyone who spends an evening here and they will tell you this is one of the best cigar lounges around, the kind of place where the conversation flows freely, someone's usually got a game on, and the talk often drifts toward music. Comfortable chairs, a laid-back vibe, and patrons who greet you like they have known you for years. As one regular put it, you come in a stranger and leave knowing everybody's name.

Rukia, the owner, is the reason folks keep coming back. Locals will tell you she knows everyone by name and will happily walk you through the selection to find the right cigar for your palate. She has built more than a shop here; it is a genuine community that happens to love cigars. If Dave is behind the counter, the regulars will tell you to say Russell sent you, and if you meet a local named Phil, expect a warm welcome. The word around Decatur is that Rukia treats everyone like family, and she is known to stay open late when the room is full and the night is good.

The humidor earns its own praise. People come for a serious selection of cigars and cigarillos, and what they mention most is that everything is fresh, never stale, and clearly well cared for. Padron is a favorite among the regulars here, and there are cigarettes on hand too. The lounge opens early, so an early stick with good company is on the table if you want it.

Out-of-towners have stumbled in looking for a spot to unwind before a baseball game and walked out with a new favorite hangout. That says a lot. If you are after a cigar shop in Decatur with a real sense of community, this is the one people point you toward.
