Absolute must if you are a cigar aficionado in the Saint Mary's / Kingsland / Cumberland / Camden County area. Aaron has a great thing going here and knows what he's doing. Cigar lockers are available for those cigar nuts who like to keep them in bulk. And of course, you can buy any and all types of cigar accessories needed to keep your "cigar thing" going strong - portable humidors, torches, lighter fluid, ashtrays, cutters, extra cigar boxes, etc.
Not to be confused with Tobacco Planet (just a tobacco shop - no smoking - down the street with VERY limited cigar options), TOBACCO PALACE in Saint Mary's is one of several in the SE Georgia area. This location opened just a couple of months ago, but their humidor is well-stocked and still growing. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available on site for purchase, although no alcohol can be consumed inside the smoking room yet - a licensing thing Aaron is working on. Typical snacky items can also be purchased (chips, popcorn, pretzels, sweets, etc.), but the snacks for purchase and outside food are allowed to be consumed within the building and smoking room. Saint Mary's Seafood is right next door and the Red Moose (excellent sandwiches and sport bar food) is right across the street. Last Thursday Night Football we had club sandwiches, chips, and sodas while watching the game and smoking. Fine time out with the boys.
The smoking room has plenty of seating and required cigar amenities - cutters, torches, ashtrays, etc. - as well as a free coffee mess with biscotti and/or cookies (a little bourgeois, no?). The room's coloring, wall aesthetics, leather furniture, lighting, and large screen TV placement all suits the cigar aficionado well; just enough light to read and converse with others, relaxed, welcoming... it makes you feel comfortable to stay for more than one stick and several cups of coffee with friends. Added benefit, Tobacco Palace will be hosting several major cigar manufacturers to the shop over the coming months, so be sure to call and find out who/when well in advance.
Come on in and become one of the regulars - buy a few sticks or a whole box! read more
