The Pipe and Pint (High Point)

If you're after a proper cigar spot in High Point, The Pipe and Pint has earned its reputation as one of the most beloved shops around, and it's easy to understand why once you spend an afternoon in the lounge. The humidor is stocked deep with the names serious enthusiasts look for: Perdomo, Rocky Patel, Arturo Fuente, My Father, Aganorsa, Drew Estate, Viaje, Tatuaje, Foundation, New World, and Plasencia, plus Xikar accessories and Peterson gear. Pipe tobacco, plenty of pipes, rolling papers, and the odds and ends any smoker needs round it out. Ask anyone who spends time here and the name that comes up first is David.

Locals will tell you he and his crew know their cigars inside and out, and they're happy to walk a first-timer through the humidor just as gladly as they'll talk shop with a longtime enthusiast. One regular said it best after peppering the staff with questions: these guys have been a tremendous help, and they never make you feel like a novice for asking. The lounge is really the heart of the place. There's comfortable seating inside, a back deck with shade for when the weather's right, and paved parking that makes stopping in easy.

They also keep a nice selection of beer and wine, so folks drift in after work to unwind, share a smoke, and get into good conversation. The word around High Point is that the crowd here is what keeps people coming back, a genuinely welcoming, diverse mix of people who bond over tobacco and talk. We've heard the prices are fair, there's a rewards program worth joining, and they extend a discount to military, veterans, and first responders. If there's any wish list, a few regulars would love to see a little more Ashton and Montecristo White on the shelves.

Small quibble for a shop this well run. For a relaxed cigar lounge and knowledgeable service, this is a spot High Point folks recommend without hesitation.
