Humidor Plus

Humidor Plus is the kind of cigar shop in Columbus where the man behind the counter matters as much as the sticks on the shelf. Ask anyone who shops here and Johnathan's name comes up fast. Regulars talk about him like a mentor, not just an owner, especially folks new to cigars who worried they'd feel out of place. The word around town is that other spots can make you feel foolish for asking questions, but here you get taught instead, and you can hang around and talk a little nonsense while you're at it.

The selection is what keeps people driving back. We've heard it described as almost a cigar superstore, with a range that has grown a lot over time. They stock Arturo Fuente, including the Corona Gran Reserva that one regular came in specifically for, plus cigarettes and the smoking accessories you'd expect. If there's something they don't have, the team will try to custom order it, cigars and even certain beers and wine among them.

Prices land in fair territory, and plenty of locals stop in every time they're passing by. One day-to-day customer even has a soft spot for the little knick-knacks and candies scattered around the shop. Nobody comes here for fancy. It's a quaint, no-frills spot, and that's part of the charm for the crowd that loves it.

That said, locals are a little split. Some folks have wished for tidier shelves and clearer prices, and a couple have grumbled about hours not lining up with a late evening stop. If you're planning a trip, it's worth calling ahead before you drive out. For a friendly, knowledgeable cigar shop in Columbus where the owner actually wants to help you find the right smoke, Humidor Plus has earned a loyal following and a decent reputation around town.
