Gilbertsville Cigar Factory

Ask anyone who enjoys a good cigar around here and Gilbertsville Cigar Factory comes up fast. It has earned a reputation as one of the highest-rated cigar shops in the area, and the people who visit tend to come back. Part of the draw is the building itself, which once served as a cigar manufacturer back in the 1800s. That history gives the place real character, and the staff are happy to tell you about it while you browse.

Two walk-in humidors anchor the store, both well stocked, and the selection is what keeps folks talking. You'll find serious names on the shelves here: Padron, Arturo Fuente, My Father, Roma Craft, Dunbarton, Diesel, La Flor Dominicana, Foundation Cigar Company, Warped, Crowned Heads, Tatuaje, Black Label Trading, and PG Cigars. One regular who drives up from Harford County put it plainly: they carry cigars he simply can't get closer to home. Beyond cigars, there's pipe tobacco and a good spread of smoking accessories, and the pricing gets high marks across the board.

Then there's the lounge, which locals rave about. Picture two rooms with leather seating and TVs, one with a pool table, card table, and dart board. People compare the atmosphere to a proper club, clean and comfortable without feeling like an oversized warehouse. It's the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick smoke or settle in for the afternoon.

Chris and his team get a lot of credit for the welcome.
