Best Places to enjoy a cigar in Charleston, SC?

Welp. I'm on the road again and will be in Charleston, SC (staying near the airport) but was wondering if there is a good place that could be recommended to get and enjoy a cigar. I understand the city is non-smoking at this point, correct?

Is there any place that someone could recommend?

Jamie's house (jjirons69.)

Or so I've been told....

Watch out for the cover charge.

Seriously, though, PM Jamie--he'll steer ya in the right direction.

There was a great place downtown that was a TinderBox outlet. There was a bar and smoking area upstairs.

The Tinder Box/Club Habana and The Smoking Lamp are downtown. Club Habana is upstairs from the Tinderbox and can be a nice place to enjoy a smoke. You can smoke there, even though the city is no smoking!

I would love to enjoy one with you, but am hitting the road this evening. Sorry I missed you!

I remember there was a cigar shop downtown next to a hotel on King street. On the bottom of the hotel was a Starbucks. I cannot remember the name, but with those description you should be able to find the B&M pretty easy.

There is another shop that rolled their own cigars. I think it was near Market street, after Hymens Seafood restaurant (I highly recommend Hymens

). I forgot the name as well, but it is the only shop that rolled their own cigars.

LOL.. I might skip Hymans but will look for the handrolled place.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I'll have to check them out next week when in town.

Jamie: no worries but thanks for the suggestion. I'll check them out.

Needless to say, Tinderbox lived up to the name and I think I may head there again on Friday (after, perhaps, taking in the SC vs Fla hockey game -- the goalie in me misses it sometimes).
