Premium Cigars of Georgia

The walk-in humidor at Premium Cigars of Georgia is the kind of thing people talk about long after they leave. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you it's one of the biggest they've ever stepped into, stocked deep with a selection that keeps regulars coming back. This is a real cigar destination in Marietta, and the reputation around town backs it up.

The shelves here read like a who's who of premium cigars. You'll find Ashton, AJ Fernandez, Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, Padron, La Flor Dominicana, Davidoff, GTO, and Tatiana, along with tobacco pipes and a good lineup of premium accessories. Pipe tobacco folks are happy here too, and locals who smoke a pipe rate the selection highly. One thing people who know cigars really appreciate: the sticks are kept at the perfect humidity, so what you buy can be smoked right away without any guesswork. That kind of care is why plenty of people prefer picking up their cigars here rather than taking their chances elsewhere.

There's a comfortable lounge in back where you can settle in and enjoy a smoke, and the atmosphere is a big part of the draw. Nick, the owner, has a name around here for genuine customer service. We've heard he'll even offer to track down cigars he doesn't stock. Stacey knows the products well and has an easy, professional way with folks who walk in. The whole team leans helpful and knowledgeable, which matters when you're trying to find something new.

Prices sit a touch on the higher side for premium sticks, and locals are honest about that, but most agree the freshness and the in-person experience are worth it. If you're after a serious cigar shop in Marietta with a huge humidor and a lounge to match, this one earns its solid word-of-mouth reputation.
