When Brian opened The Smokey Cigar in December 2009 his main goal was to provide his father with a business to run during his retirement. “My father has been a cigar smoker for near 50 years and his knowledge and expertise can benefit new and seasoned cigar smokers,” said Brian. “I like to enjoy a good cigar myself and wanted to create an environment that is conducive to the needs of the cigar smoker and an environment that promotes a sense of community and friendship.” From this beginning came what is today referred to as a warm, welcoming, cigar smoking environment with great selection and a great atmosphere. |

Our lounge is very inviting with rooms filled with comfortable leather seating and several HD-TVs to provide you with entertainment. We maintain a 300 sq. ft. humidor with nearly 800 different brands of cigars and one of the largest varieties and selection in the Middle Tennessee area. We have a large VIP room that is open to the public but can be closed off for private venues and parties. The Smokey Cigar encourages patrons to bring their favorite food and cocktails to enjoy while watching the game or enjoying their cigar. We offer a locker service where customers can leave their favorite and most prized cigars in a perfectly maintained 70/70 environment. |
