Tinder Box

I am visiting from Charlotte, NC and have been here before. Stopped in when I arrived and bought a few sticks and decided to sit and chat while I smoked a stick. Great people working here and very knowledgable with a good selection of excellent sticks! Will be back again every time I am in town! Thanks guys! Well done!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, good selection of quality cigars and accessories, and a nice little lounge. To top it off, they have a few quality beers very reasonably priced to accompany your cigar in the lounge.

Good lord this place needs a smoke eater. One fundamental piece of equipment every cigar store should have is a smoke eater. As an avid cigar smoker, I couldn’t spend a minimum of 5 minutes in here without all clothes ruined, irritated eyes and runny nose. The prices are high as well. For example, you could get an Acid Kuba Kuba’s for $ 1.50-$ 2.00 cheaper at many other local shops.

This is a nice tobacco chain store that’s does okay locally because it also has an ABC license for various wines that are local too. They’re moderately priced and I see various cigar and pipe smokers in here sampling various cigars and local blends of pipe tobacco. I’ve had a few cigars here with some of the local veterans that are from SWIC, SIUE and Scott AFB who’ve retired in the area.
The attitude here is very laid back and polite, only saw one rude customer in the whole place because of parents bringing their children into the store rather than remain outside as it clearly states that children aren’t allowed in at the front door. But the owner made an exception to the rule because of bad weather and wanting the business from the family.
