1. Place is a rip off. Found out the cigars i bought were $60 cheaper online. Don't waste your money. 2. The cigar prices listed in their humidor are very different when you go to checkout. It was an extra $50 slap in the face at checkout, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. 3. Service sucks, just very rude really. The employee who helped me (tall fat guy with a lazy eye) absolutely sucked at his job. read more

Cigar Militia has everything you're looking for in terms a cigar shop! The atmosphere is chill and there's comfortable seating. I've been here several times for Cigars & Scriptures which is a monthly men's gathering. The team is knowledgeable about the cigars they carry and always provide amazing service. They even carry a few local cigar makers so there's an opportunity to shop local. read more

They don't have food. They do have a great selection for cigars. Amazing atmosphere. Very laid back. Great air system so it's not smoky at all. Great spacing between chairs so you don't feel crowded. But close enough that you can still have a conversation. Service here is also amazing. If you are in the area looking for a place to smoke, you got to check this place out. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area. read more

Small but mighty. The smoking area might be small but the quality of selection and the service they provide make up for it. Just wish it wasn't an hour away but that's because where I live. read more

Instead, we had to smoke outside in the cold with a server giving very weak pours of whiskey, and rarely checking on us to see if we needed anything. The icing on the cake is it is right next door to a seedy late night "dance" (strip) club.... YIKES!

I love the dim, but warm lighting that gives it a welcoming, speakeasy feel and the staff and fellow patrons make you feel like family. They have bar seating by the register where you can choose from a nice selection of beers and wine and a walk in humidor to grab a quality cigar. The only critique I would give is that their cigar selection is small, but that can be easily remedied and the service certainly makes up for it. Certainly come check them out if you're in Columbia.

Tapas-style menu & excellent, personable service. It's like the Cheers of cigar bars, where you're made to feel like everyone knows your name & welcomes you back. I'll definitely check them out again!

My wife and I spent $50 per person on Eventbrite to skip the line instead of $20 general admission. We got there around 12 am after the concert let out and there was literally like 10 people in line ( they scammed my a$$), no need to skip. They were charging $40 at the door for general admission. Got there and it was dead . Pros, coming from ATL and paying a lot to hangout it was very cheap to party here. The wifey and I had 3 drinks a peace ( Ciroc/ sprite and Crown/ Red Bull ) and 2 lemon drop shots. We also has 30 wings, nachos and seafood dip and I only spent $77 that was with gratuity included . I had to add and extra $50 tip. Our waitress was super cool, music was good and we got the souther hospitality vibe and treatment.

The drinks were blended very well and used fresh lime juice, which was nice. The appetizers -- the kimchi fries and the boneless wings were pretty standard. The fries were crunchy, but we felt like there was more cheese than there was kimchi and sauce, so we've had better kimchi fries elsewhere. The cheese was very gooey though. The boneless wings weren't as crunchy as they could have been, especially coming out in a stone dish, but the garlic soy sauce was still pretty good. Our mains were really good -- the japchae, which I ordered with fried tofu, had the right texture and flavor, and was delicious yet spicy. The tofu was a little bland though. My partner enjoyed the squid and pork belly dish and said that the sauce was similar to the japchae sauce. The portions were pretty normal and not too big, so we had a few leftovers but not too many. The prices were also pretty reasonable as well. Overall we were really happy with our food here and would come back if we ever visited again.
