Smokes and Cigars

One local put it best: "This is honestly the best smoke shop in Lilburn." That kind of loyalty says a lot about Smokes and Cigars, a tobacco shop that has earned a strong reputation around town for its selection and the people behind the counter.

Cigars are the heart of the store, and the word around Lilburn is that the selection runs deep, from everyday smokes to higher-end sticks, all at prices folks find fair. Regulars keep coming back weekly, and the team is known for going the extra mile. We've heard about staff tracking down a specific brand of cigarettes and even matching the price a customer was already paying elsewhere. That's the kind of place this is: they remember the locals, and they treat them like it. Ask for Zee, the main clerk, who has a reputation for patience and know-how, especially with people new to vapes who show up with a stack of questions. Al gets the same kind of praise from folks who have dealt with him. Vapes and cigarettes round out the shelves, and people who shop here appreciate finding everything in one spot instead of driving all over.

The store itself is clean and well stocked, sitting alongside the adjacent Shell station, which makes it an easy stop. First-timers who have lived in the neighborhood for years tell us they wish they had come in sooner, and travelers passing through have made a point of mentioning the friendly checkout.

Now, locals are a little split on the pricing and how the discounts get handled, and a couple of people have walked away wanting warmer service. But most who come through Smokes and Cigars leave happy, with a good cigar in hand and a reason to come back. For a tobacco shop in Lilburn, Georgia, it has built a genuine following.
