While on vacation with my family group of 4 . We order drinks and 1 person in the group does not drink at all they had was water to offer. So we ordered 2 wines and a beer . Then I ask for a light for my cigar and was told I can not smoke it cause it was not bought in there establishment in a rude way. Been to cigars lounges around the world and never had a bad experienced. I definitely would had stayed longer and bought more drinks but felt un welcomed.

Flew all the way down from Houston, Texas just so I can experience this Cigar lounge Being a huge fan of Luke Bryan, That being said, the lounge is posted in a beautiful part of town and the lounge both has indoor and outdoor seating with good country music and good Drinks. They carry only brands from Davidoff, Fuente, and Padron As far as I can see. I very much enjoyed my time, however, I only have one Gripe, The Young blonde, headed girl who served me Offered to cut and light my cigar for me, which is a very nice gesture, however When she cut it, she cut it sideways with a V cutter when I asked her for a guillotine cut. the Cigar still had a perfect draw So I didn’t Think much of it, however when she started lighting it, she was burning the wrapper instead of the foot. Oof my heart broke a little. While I was smoking, I saw their merchandise on sale and decided to purchase a hat. Well, I went up to the counter She was texting on her phone and didn’t even notice I was waiting for service. Even though I was standing Directly in front of her. Made me feel as if she didn’t really care too much about customer service. Other than that, I had a pretty good time and would still recommend coming to the lounge and giving it a try!

Webpage says you close at 11pm. I arrived at 9:45pm and the bartender was calling last call? They were turning lights on, closing the sliding doors moving cushions,etc.
All while there is a room FULL of local patrons trying to have fun and Karaoke and support your business, we could’ve gone anywhere and we chose Shore Thing.
DJ said no more karaoke we are closing.
I asked one of the young girls why they were closing early bc website says 11pm She replied “yeah, we’re just not feeling it tonight so we are closing”.
This is NOT the first time these 3 that run the show there have been rude and arrogant to your guests (locals) who try support you year round. It’s like if it’s not their friends or what they want to do. They just close shop?
DO BETTER!

Great place to smoke a cigar and chill. Large selection of Cigars from all price ranges. Good beers on tap and a few wine by the glass. We had a great time.

Great selection of smokes, friendly staff.... patio chairs could be more comfortable, but an awesome place to enjoy a cigar.

I went in to smoke a cigar. I brought my own cigar and asked the bartender if I could use their cutter to cut my cigar. She said, “No, since I did not purchase the cigar with her!” Seriously! I will never visit again. Where has American hospitality and kindness gone?!

I’m super disappointed that I have to give a one star review… I live here locally, and have been wanting to check this place out for a while; after following on all socials, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
So my fiancé and I walk in, the bartender did not greet us, we stood there for a minute trying to figure out how the experience works… After we sit down at the bar, the bartender finally looks up from her phone, and says “ do you guys want anything to drink?”
We both order a drink, neither of us were offered a cigar, or asked if this was our first time visiting. She never offered us a a second round of drinks, and did I mention she was on her phone the ENTIRE time?
(Mind you, it says on their website that they can pair a cigar with a drink, and that this is place to be whether you’re a newbie or a cigar connoisseur.)
Decent place to get cigars and smoke them. Drinks are OK. Staff was fairly friendly/helpful with what they could control. Only water option is a $5 bottle. They should add self serve water to give people options. If I could give it 3 & 1/2 stars I would.

Nice humidor and selection. Covered patio with tables and chairs and fans . They brought a water bowl out for the dog! Nice people

I frequent Shore Thing Cigars and was present during Ms Dyes (and her husband’s) visit yesterday.
When she asked the staff for assistance with the one fan (there are four total in the shop) that was not working, the staff was worked diligently to rectify this minor problem.
I personally got involved to help fix the problem. It took all of 10 minutes to get it working. In the mean time, the two staff members relocated Ms. Dyes and her husband under a working fan and put their requested program on TV. Not once were their efforts appreciated with a simple “thank you” or even a smile.
Shortly after, Ms Dyes lit up a cigarette. One of the staff members politely informed Ms Dyes that cigarette smoking was not allowed and pointed to the prominent signage stating so.
That is when Ms Dyes went off on not only the two staff members, but admonished a third (who just arrived for her shift and wasn’t doing anything).
Ms Dyes was acting like an entitled child attempting to bully the staff who were nothing but courteous, accommodating and doing their job.
It was Ms Dyes who was disrespectful. She embarrassed herself…. But I am sure it was not the first time.

I will never be back!! We support their Franklin and green hills location but this was a horrible experience. After spending $150 on cigars and on top of that drinks; some girl came up and said there’s no cigarette smoking and had to go sit in the 105 degrees heat. So pee have to endure cigar smoke, yet no cigarettes. And their snotty response was even worse. This was only after I asked to watch the Republican convention on Tv. NO one else was in there- no one. There must be a reason. We will never go back/ and the cigar selection is weak and their staff is rude and downright stupid. I support my man to smoke is cigars and I’m treated like trash. Never go in there.
