Stogies 2

If you're after a proper cigar lounge in Plain City, Stogies 2 is the spot locals point you to. The heart of this place is the humidor, and it's a good one, well stocked with a wide selection that keeps regulars coming back. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the man to see is Neil. He knows his cigars inside and out, and folks appreciate that he's helpful without ever being pushy.

As one regular put it, the owner "KNOWS HIS CIGARS." This is as much a hangout as a shop. There's ample, comfortable seating, a couple of rooms with TVs, and even a kitchen, so it's a favorite for settling in to watch a football game. Indoor smoking is welcome, and it's BYOB, meaning you can bring your own adult beverage and make an afternoon of it. We hear there are improvements on the way too, including a patio and firepit out back.

Word around Plain City is that this is a friendly, welcoming crowd, a great group of gentlemen who frequent the place, and newcomers tend to feel at home fast. The shop also extends discounts to military, police, fire, and EMS, which people notice and respect. Some regulars have followed Neil over from the Stogies in Powell and are glad to watch this second location grow. It's earned one of the strongest reputations among smoke shops in the area, and it's easy to see why.

If you stop in, tell Neil, "Hey now!"
