I was up in the Kingsport, TN area over the 4th of July and ran out of cigars. The tobacco store…read morethat I was told they had in Kingsport turned out to be closed for business. So I got on Yelp and discovered this place in Bristol and decided to take a drive to check it out. Nice store, long and narrow with muted lighting. Just how like I my cigar stores to be. Gives off a real comfy vibe. Extensive walk-in humidor. When I was there the selection was somewhat depleted as they were getting ready for a big cigar convention that was taking place shortly after the 4th. My only knock (and it ain't much of one) was that they group their cigars by manufacturer. I've been spoiled by my Louisiana cigar shop that groups their cigars by the flavor body (mild, mild/medium, medium, medium/full and full)... If you do not know exactly what you are looking for then you can feel overwhelmed walking into that humidor. Luckily I received some great assistance from staff and was able to make a purchase of some nice sticks for my enjoyment. If I'm ever in the Tri-City area and in need of some smokes then I will definitely be making a stop in here.
