Tinder Box

This place rocks a good group of guys to smoke cigars with. The owner was great he had lot of stories to tell about cigars. The night crew well let’s just say those guys no how to live and smoke a good cigar. The one guy who offered me a drink from his homemade stash who by the way carries a gun he had me cracking up. The book that one patron wrote about the place I had a chance to read online while I was there it’s worth the money. If you are in town even for a short time check them out you won’t be disappointed.

Find me here on a relaxed afternoon sitting with a friend in one of the many leather chairs or perusing their great selection of cigars, pipe tobacco, and specialty cigarettes. If you’re an occasional smoker, the guys who work here are always happy to help you find something you’ll like. In accessories, they sell a variety of humidors and lighters. I always like that there is a congregation of regulars in the back room talking or watching hockey on the television. The back part of the store has about eight nice leather chairs — you sit with cigars surrounding you on all four walls.
The selection is vast, the customer-​service nice (in a gentlemanly way, of course), and the atmosphere is as a cigar lounge should be. In addition to the aforementioned qualities, I give Tinder Box five stars because it fills a much-​needed void in a culture traditionally lacking in places for men to get away and relax together.

I’ll join you in reviewing this place, happily, Jason!
I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews here, as I know many people who enjoy a good cigar from here.
I came here for the first time, in late 90’s for a celebratory party for
, back when blogging was new and exciting. We sat in the back and I just thought it was cool people could come and enjoy a smoke here. The staff is extremely helpful, knowledgable and they really know their customers and what they like.
My husband was frequenting this place for a while, and would quite often send me to fetch him a cigar to enjoy after a long stint at the restaurant he manages. (What is this 1950?!) I rather enjoyed doing that favor for him especially since I’d spend more time chatting with the fellas there than it took for them to grab his Gloria Cubana or Romeo and Juliet. I’d never remember what cigar Michael would want, but these guys always knew exactly which kind.
I think their prices are reasonable and they have a selection of «factory throwaways» for those who are not too choosy, for only a couple bucks a piece.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, I always feel like I’m walking into someone’s living room. As a regular, I’ve also enjoyed perks like an occasional free lighter or extra couple cigars, just because. I’m all about personal relationships with businesses, and I feel like I’m part of their family. They’ll have special events with trays if food, and I’ve always been invited to grab a bite to eat!
Anyways, Michael gave up cigars recently (yay lungs! Boo trips to tinder box!) but definitely recommend smokers to go here and will go back gladly, anytime. Jim, Jason, Vince, Gary… miss these guys! They know their stuff. If you like stogies, or know someone who does, go to Tinder Box!

Huh? Am I really the first person to review Tinder Box? People, life is too short to deny yourself the pleasure of a fine cigar. You can’t take the money with you to Heaven, and if you’re fortunate enough to live in the area off of Transit Road where Tinder Box is located, when you pass on the Federales are going to yank a good chunk of your millions anyway. Step it up!!!
Tinder Box is located in a small storefront in the Lowe’s Plaza close to Maple Road. It is a chain shop, yes, okay, I know that, but they are fully stocked with humidors, lighters, cutters and other accessories in addition to the cigars. Oh, and they possess a very good selection of sticks. Rocky Patel, Padron, Ashton, Arturo Fuente, CAO, Romeo y Julieta, so on and so forth.
Of course, when I sought out my Rocky Patel 1961s they were all out! Oh well. Life’s tough — wear a helmet.
The staff is very accommodating. It doesn’t have to be an intimidating experience to roll in and see all of the choices. You will receive friendly advice and help when selecting your smoke. Inside you will also find a bunch of chairs and a television, so you can sit down and enjoy your cigar while pretending to be away looking for something at Lowe’s. BONUS. I saw a handful of gentlemen in the shop doing exactly that.
Yeah, definitely, if you are on Transit for some reason and feel like enjoying one of the best things life has to offer then stop at Tinder Box. It’s one of the better shops around.
