very time we are on 30A for vacation, we enjoyed going to Shore Thing Cigars until September 2024. We had 7 couples on vacation with a few that were looking forward to their first time at Shore Thing Cigars. When we got there, only 3 people were there so we picked out some cigars and ordered drinks. The back patio was "closed", however, you could see through the glass door, a patron and one of the owners having a private gambling party. Impressive they had a full dice table set up. As soon as we settled in for a night cap and cigar, the manager cranked up the music so loud we couldn't hear each other. I politely asked if they could turn it down and she said no---go sit outside but I'm not turning it down. SHAME on you for the complete rudeness and disrespect. It is why the establishment was opened for right? You promote a fun and relaxing time. I have never experienced that all the times we have been there but what a crappy first impression for our friends that were looking forward to it. Next time, if you don't want people in there so you can run your gambling room, then just say that you plan on closing early for a "private" event instead of being rude to run them out. I bet Luke would not want his place ran like that. I can tell you that when the previous manager was there, she was always friendly and would have never let that happen but oh well, you all "ran" her out to. SHAME SHAME read more

Friendly environment, live music, nice cigar selection, and a happy hour!!! First place I've seen around here in 4 days with a HH. Thank you Shore Thing! Bartenders were very sweet and always smiling. They even had phone chargers for guests to use. This was a necessity at this point, as I just walked 3.6 miles to get there, as Lyft and Uber is close to non existent around these parts! I tried for almost 2 hours to get a ride home through the Lyft app- and was unsuccessful. Ended up getting a ride with some strangers who let me get in their Lyft. This is just worth mentioning if you are venturing out to the Hub and wanting to have some drinks and a fun evening. Be prepared to be 'stuck.' Shore Thing was not a bad place to be stuck though. Great people, good vibes, and fun atmosphere! Thanks guys! read more

Completely disrespectful of surrounding residential community. The hours state they close at 10pm however the past few nights they have played extremely loud music and had customers/and or employees in their outside seating for up to 3 hours after closing. The big chill next door stops all noise at 10pm, but these guys continue partying with absolutely no concern for the noise an and nearby houses. Yesterday, 6/6 while the Big Chill had their entertainment of the night Shore thing decided to turn their music on as loud as they could, making it impossible to hear either one clearly. Overall they just seem completely disrespectfu of everyone in the area, do better. read more

Love this place. Not an experienced cigar smoker at all, but the selection was great, prices were good, and the beer was cold. What more could you ask for?! read more

Fun Cigar Bar on 30a. It's located in the Hub/BigChill so it's a great spot for dads (or moms) to sneak away for a cigar, cold beer and the big game. I've seen bachelor & bachelorette parties enjoying karaoke night as well read more

Great Clean lines. Nice atmosphere! Beautiful humidor. Interesting cigar selection. Pleasant staff. Definitely, a place to come and enjoy a nice cigar. read more

What can be said, came looking for a few sticks for the beach. I'll be back when in town.

Got some cigars, family was shopping and did not have time to smoke them there but will make sure to have a sometime to go here for some man time. Great set up on the inside, nice staff and beers. Next time will just have the girls shop and I will be there. read more

Just read Taylor M's review. He goes to a cigar bar that makes their living selling cigars, and he complains about a cut & light fee for the Swisher Sweet he brought with him..... Really??? Does this guy bring his own coffee to Starbucks, his own liquor to a bar or burgers to McDonalds? Shore Thing Cigars is not your typical cigar bar... and thankfully so. It is a welcoming place with a phenomenal staff that is friendly and knowledgeable about cigars. No better place on Florida's beautiful Emerald Coast to hang out unwind and relax with a premium cigar! read more

Not the best, but certainly not the worst Cigar Bar I've been to. Their selection seems limited (maybe I was just there after a busy night?) but all the cigars that I tried were really good. The staff has a good knowledge of what they have on hand, and even what beers blend best w/ the cigar you are smoking. One of the neatest things about the bar, is their air filtration system. It does not smell like a Cigar Bar on the inside! The only real negative (besides the limited selection) is the lack of traditional leather seats (that are SO comfortable) that are a staple in most Cigar Bars. But, they are the only game in town, so enjoy... read more

Excellent food and service!! Wonderful new facility. Servings were very generous and flavorful. Looking forward to our return when we are back in the area. read more

Paul Copeland and county music singer Luke Bryan opened a cigar bar on 30-A; one of the few in Walton County. They opened about a week ago and are rapidly spinning up with great selections. Being a cigar and wine aficionado I like the combination. Their cigar selection is good and I learned that Padron will be there soon (my fav). Large walk in humidor. They have draft beer and wine and are carrying the 30-A brand. I was pleasantly pleased by the 30-A chardonnay. The ventilation is very good and there is comfortable seating near 5-6 wide screen TVs. There is plenty of Luke's tracks wafting through the room. Summer and Amanda were working when I visited and were exceptionally attentive. Shore Thing Cigars is one of several boutique vendors in a cluster called The Hub in WaterSound. Most of the other vendors are food and beverage which I have not sampled.They are clustered around open air seating and a nice stage with a huge wide screen TV. Musicians keep the vibe going. The overall Hub environment is family oriented. The Shore Thing Cigar is adult and a nice break for Dad or Mom to duck in for a treat. Personally I had to make an adjustment after enjoying several hours there and then transitioning to a family environment. However, knowing the cigar culture my fellow aficionados will go to any lengths to find a good smoke will find their way here. Bear in mind that there has been a recent postal change creating a new zip code in the area and you may find it difficult getting a good read on a GPS to find the place. I suggested that they revamp the web site to consider that tto put more explicit directions on it. Luke is known to pop his head in every once in awhile. Highly recommend. read more

Great atmosphere, live music at times. Great selection of fine cigars. Very chill.. Go see Lexi, she'll take good care of you. read more

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff! The walk-in humidor could be overwhelming, but they were very helpful in guiding us in the right direction to make a smart decision. Also like the bundle options! read more

I went twice with my wife: Worse cigar bar I've ever visited. Prices are 2x-3x than normal shops and I understand that because it's 30A. But the selection is slim (under 10 brands) and they push hard their "exclusive Shore Thing cigar" for $15. I purchased a couple good cigars and she pressured me to throw in their local "exclusive Shore". It was horrible. Barely a $3 cigar. We went back a second time and I brought some of my own cigars. They don't have bourbon or scotch, so bought a couple beers just to be nice and we sat down. No ash tray. So I had to ask for one. She brought one. Then I go to light and she comes back to stop me and asks for $10 to light an "outside" cigar on their porch. Whatever. I closed tab. Poured out my beer outside and walked out. Forget this place. Don't pay 3x prices for cigars and expensive beers to sit in a screen porch with rude staff. Cigars are supposed to be fun and relaxing. read more

Great place. Great Location. Great Selection! Will definitely be back! The staff made sure you had everything you need to relax and enjoy your afternoon! When you're done with your smoke, everything you need to keep the night going is a 30 second walk away! read more

Amazing staff, awesome wine and beer selection, cigars are GREAT (wasn't a cigar smoker until I came here) the staff was able to help me find the perfect premium cigar! Been to karaoke on Friday nights and I can promise they never disappoint!! So much fun and an absolute MUST when visiting 30A! Customer service is a 10/10, the premium cigars are 10/10 and of course the locals make it homey and relaxing atmosphere which is why Shore Things has become one of my favorite places to visit when in town! read more

I travel extensively and always look for good cigar bars. This place looks awesome. Great location and peaking through the windows it looked like a cool place with nice indoor and outdoor seating. I so wanted to enjoy a cigar hear but they weren't open despite Yelp, their website, and the sign on the door saying they were supposed to be open during the time and day we were there. Maybe I can make it here again someday. read more

I stopped by to purchase a cigar for my husband, I do this every time I travel. The girl that was working was very young and overflowing with information. She was more than helpful in assisting me on what to choose. I can't wait to come back here and bring my husband next t read more

Lexi took great care of us and our visit was perfect! I'm down to visit every few months and the knowledgeable staff is bar none. New bar. New taps. Great stogies! Come on down and visit! read more

My family and I came here on a Friday night during our vacation and we had a wonderful time. Friday night is karaoke night. The staff was great we felt right at home. read more

Have been there several times each trip over the last two years while vacationing in Rosemary Beach. Great cigar spot. Great humidor and drinks for a small shop. Not a lot of seating inside but hasnt been crowded when I was there. Staff is super friendly. Better than expected humidor (and prices), better than expected drink selection (not a bar), and better than anticipated spot for such a touristy area. Just a note on drinks. They dont have a bar but do have some draft and can beers along with wine and champagne. The selection isnt large but has some variety and is quality for what it is (a cigar spot and not a bar). Feels new but has been there several years now. Can't say enough about how much i enjoyed this spot. I travel all over the US and this is one of my favorite "hole in the wall" cigar spots. read more

This is an excellent, upscale cigar bar. The entire staff is very knowledgeable about cigars and happy to help. It is not a typical cigar bar that quiet and boring. This is a high energy bar with music and a fun atmosphere...what you expect on the beach. read more

I went there on a Saturday night and arrived at 8:20, only to find the place closed tight as a drum. I called the number, hoping that maybe they forwarded the calls to a cell and were nearby. No answer. Hours are listed as 11-10. 10!!!!! Not 8!!! On a Saturday!!!!! So I drove back towards seaside and bought some Partagas at the Publix. Screw these guys. Can't even list their hours properly. read more

The new general manager has been a big asset to Shore Things. You can tell all the staff really gets along very well. I live close to the bar and visit regular to use my laptop to do work and have a cigar. It is always a great atmosphere there and the best premium cigars around. I have witnessed so many times lately where visitors from out of town have no respect for policies and Florida law. The staff has always handled those times as respectful as they could considering the situations but yet I those people love to get on yelp and totally twist things around. I highly recommend anyone that loves cigars and a fun atmosphere to visit. read more

On Sunday night of memorial weekend we went with family to have a drink, cigar, and listen to live entertainment. The live entertainment was really rough as the singer was way over the limit of intoxication. Slurring words and throwing the f bomb every other word went on for hours. This experience was very disappointing! We've been several time in the past and had positive experiences but this experience was way different! I'd prefer the experience to be more positive and consistent. read more

Stopped in to grab a quick cigar. I'm not an expert and quickly informed the owner I'm a newbie. He never made me feel stupid and provided excellent recommendations. Great chill spot. Highly recommend for the atmosphere, cigars, and great customer service. Veteran or not, I highly recommend shore thing cigar. read more

Nice place. Beer on tap. Cool people. Cigar selection is average. Prices are a little high but not bad.

Loved stopping here! Stopped here with my husband, the girls working were extremely knowledgeable and had some great recommendations! Got to drop my husband off with a beer and cigar and did some shopping next door! 10/10 recommended. Forgot the girls name that helped us but she has blonde curly hair and was very nice! read more

Paul the co-owner is the most CHARMING guy! CUTE as a button! Full of personality! I LOVE LOVE LOVE him! Ana the sweet young lady that works there is awesome! A great selection of Cigars, Beer and wine! You can drink and walk about the shops! A fun place to get souvenirs for the hubby and have a fun girls shopping day! Thank you Paul for telling me you wrote the words to the HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG! :) it was a fun experience! Everyone should check out this cute place! I'm glad I stopped in! read more

This is a must when visiting 30A! Grab a cigar and enjoy! Large area to hang and a large walk in humidor!

Great beer on tap! Had a nice farmhouse ale by blackberry farm. There are several grayton beers on tap as well. A cute girl was working the bar so that helps. I was expecting a massive wall of oxygen depriving smoke to hit me upon entry, but that was not the case. This place is nice, smells like aged tobacco and cedar planks of wood. A nice walk in humidor. Nice selection of wine. I guess the cigars are awesome too? I don't smoke so the mark of a good cigar store to me is that there wasn't any blunt wrappers or black and milds. So I guess I will have to drive to local kwiky Mart for some vanilla white owls to satisfy my habit for finely wrapped hydro. read more

Great location. Smells very nice inside and not smoky at all so I enjoy going with my husband while he has a cigar and I enjoy a drink.

Love this place. Visited here almost every night. The girls are fabulous and so nice. Had my first cigar here with a little help from these ladies! read more

My husband, daughter and I went into this store, and was amazed at the rudeness & arrogance of the young employee. Upon stepping 2 feet into the store she asked our daughter to see her ID, we hadn't even tried to buy anything. After that we decided to leave and was not interested in purchasing anything or ever returning to this establishment. Very disappointed! read more

Walking into Shore Things, going into their humidor, it took 20-30 minutes before i was even helped. While I'm looking at their selection of cigars, i get confronted by a blonde girl with curly hair asking if i can even afford any cigars that they sold. Very disrespectful to ask, because obviously i wouldn't be in there if i couldn't. Then proceeds to try to sell me the cheapest one they had since she thought i "couldn't afford anything." When checking out she didn't even ask me if i wanted to smoke it there, or later. She went ahead and lit it even though i didn't ask her to. She was very rude, condescending, & very unprofessional. Definitely not a chill place to hangout. At this point i rather have gone home and smoked one of the cigars i have at home. Instead i decided to go out and support one of the local stores. Im never going back. If i could rate this less than one star i would. 1/10 do not recommend. read more

Staff (Amanda) is awesome! Great selection of cigars; cold beers! And TVs with football everywhere. Would highly recommend.

Not a very good place to come get/smoke a cigar. They have a very basic and limited collection. Plus the atmosphere is terrible. I love cigar shops because they're quaint and quiet. This was blasting pop music through the entire store. Even the humidor had music blaring in. I didn't really enjoy being there and I couldn't stand staying much longer than a minute or so. Staff wasn't too welcoming either. If you're looking to turn up and listen to Bruno Mars on full volume then you'll love this place, but not if you're wanting a good cigar shop. read more

Amanda was so helpful and friendly , the beer was cold and delicious and their filtration System is state of the art so my non smoking wife could enjoy her visit and champagne as well ! We will be back read more
