After visiting twice, I felt obligated to leave a review. George and his wife Iraima are extraordinarily pleasant to be near, very encouraging, and very knowledgeable of the trade. Their humidor is always sporting a dizzying amount of premium cigars. And as long as they are around, I plan on giving them my business. I wish I could leave more in this review, but I just cannot. These people deserve a visit. From their shined wooden floors, their comfortable leather chairs, and engaging personalities, you will feel right at home. read more

Guess what? Smokey Bear Cigars just won Best Cigar Lounge in the US!!! If you've ever been lucky enough to step into Smokey's, you know this award is TOTALLY well-deserved. You might walk in as a total stranger, but you'll leave with some incredible cigars, a delicious cafe con leche (trust me), and two new friends in owners, George & Iriama. They have a HUGE selection of cigars & accessories for cigar lovers, but they also delight in answering questions and offer suggestions for those new to cigars. Blue Ridge, GA has a hidden gem in Smokey Bear Cigars (did I mention they won Best Cigar Lounge in the US??!!). I only wish I lived closer! I'll be back! read more

What a great Cigar shop in Blue Ridge! Super cool owners who know their cigars! Great humidor with an amazing selection. I tried their brand. They were mild and a little sweet but very enjoyable. They have a good selection of cigar smoking accessories too. Great indoor and outdoor areas to hang out and smoke. Very friendly comfortable atmosphere. No alcohol is served here. But I do not think they would inspect whatever you have in your Yeti...... Great place. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy a nice stick here. read more

If you want an amazing experience while visiting Blue Ridge - Smokey Bear Cigars is a must stop. There is no need for you to be a cigar smoker (although you may end up as one after your visit) We were greeted as soon as we entered the shop by George, 1/2 of the owners. George directed us to the second half of the owners, Iraima. Irairma then took us for a tour of the humidor. She gently guided us through the room, pointing out the pros & cons of each cigar. There was no pressure to buy anything & we learned so much. Such a fabulous experience! read more

Smokey Bear Cigars & Cafe - House blend cigars go great w cold mornings and coffee. - Cigar Bars Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

Smokey Bear Cigar is an impressive place to visit. I have been smoking for over 30 years and have been to many cigar bars, all over the world, but in my humble opinion, this place is the best, by far. I met George and Iraima last week and it seems like I have known them for decades. The ambiance and serenity in their bar are absolutely amazing, and their cigars are fricking top notch. You are greeted by one of them the moment you walk in, and they let you decide if you want help right away or if you just want to browse on your own. And even if you do not buy but have questions, they are ready to share their knowledge with you over a Cortadito or a Cafe con Leche. Their attention and service to their customers is second to none. You cannot help but come back, light up a cigar, kick back and relax. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat, and I will return as soon as possible. Thank you, George and Iraima and blessings for continued success. read more
