Exotic Cigars & Smoke

Exotic Cigars & Smoke has earned a strong reputation in Savannah, and once you spend a little time there you understand why. This is a proper humidor with a wide selection of cigars, and the folks behind the counter know their stuff. Locals will tell you the owners, a group of sisters, are more interested in teaching you about the trade than pushing a sale. Ask them about flavors, brands, or where to start, and you'll get real answers. More than one visitor has walked out having learned something they didn't expect.

The house label gets a lot of love. We've heard from people passing through who bought enough to last their whole trip and made plans to come back for more. Beyond cigars, the shop stocks vapes, hookah and shisha, and a range of smoking accessories, along with the kind of random but genuinely useful odds and ends that make it a fun stop if you're staying nearby or wandering out toward River Street. There's also a comfortable lounge inside, good for a quick smoke or settling in for a longer one, and the crowd tends to be friendly.

The warmth here is what people remember. One traveler visiting from the UK said the lady behind the counter went so far above and beyond that she offered to make them real grits the way only granny knows how. That kind of hospitality is hard to fake.

Fair to say opinion isn't unanimous. A few folks have grumbled about prices at the register not matching what's marked on the box, so it's smart to double-check before you pay. Even so, most people who shop here leave happy and say they'll be back next time they're in town. For a cigar shop in Savannah with knowledgeable owners and a welcoming lounge, this one is worth finding.
