Carolina Cigar Company

Wow, read earlier reviews and the owners are rude! Looking to buy a nice box of Fuentes cigars for a friend’s wedding and when I asked the lady if they had Fuentes she snapped and said «NO did you not get the hint and pointed to the CAROLINA CIGAR Co. Sign» I did an immediate about face and walked away.
Fast forward 2hrs and headed back to the car, I had to find out how a cigar shop could be so rude when asked if they carried Fuentes cigars. (Clearly they have no respect for the Cigar industry)
This time I was greeted by a gentleman, so I asked the question «which CAROLINA tobacco plantation provided the CAROLINA tobacco» to which he responded that their company sources the best Dominica tobacco for their cigars@$!? Perhaps he should tell his wife where they get their Tobacco and who the Fuentes are!
Cheers

I walked in to buy some pipe tobacco (its not my usual tobacco place but I wanted to try it) and the two employees just glared at me as I walked in. There was an older man and a blonde woman, she tried to be friendly but the man was rude and very short with me. I was asking if he had any English tobacco like Red Baron and he replied «What you see is what we got». I felt very unwelcome and Ill be sticking to my usual tobacco shop from now on.

Stopped in on the way out of town. A very pleasant older man helped me out. He was knowledgeable and kind. Picked up 5 sticks from their top of the line cabinent selection. As I sit here pulling off this wonderful stogie, I’m thinking I’m glad I spent the money and time to stop in. This red ribbon that I’m smoking is light bodied with an excellent pull and excellent flavor.
I really liked the store and the prices. Take the time to treat yourself!

6 years ago I quit cigars because I found they were inconsistent from box to box, cigar to cigar.
Fast forward to May 2013: we were in Asheville for my brother in laws 50^th celebration. We happened past this shop and I stopped in. The gentleman behind the counter listened to my story and made a recommendation to try their private label Carolina Cigar. I hesitantly purchased 5 sticks to share.
The smokes were awesome. Mild and smooth. Then I took the plunge and purchased a box to take home. Again, delicious! EVERY darned stick!
So now I’m spending my summer in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and wanted to be sure I could get my fix. The Carolina Cigar Company was happy to oblige. They followed my shipping instructions, wrapped the boxes well and voila — I’m trying to turn a couple of cowboys from snuff to cigars!
In closing, I cannot speak highly enough about these guys. Consistently great smokes, friendly knowledgable service and I believe they appreciate my business. I appreciate their efforts.
Update from early Fall 2014: the consistency of the individual sticks (Carolina Cigar label) began to falter. In one of my last boxes about half weren’t so good. I will say they did make sincere efforts to make me happy (and that means a lot) but ultimately, the quality and predictability declined. Customer service was top notch, cigars… lately not so much.

Dont talk to the owner, if you look «liberal» he will blame you for the country’s «problems» and make accusatory statements about your political beliefs. We left without buying anything.

I walked in looking for my typical Fuente torpedo but was pleasantly surprised to find out they only sell their own hand rolled cigars.
After I got over the initial shock, the guy behind the counter began to ask a few questions. Within a few minutes of back and forth banter he was already making me a custom cigar. It had a taste of whiskey with a sweet peach taste. This must be what heaven is like!
I have to admit, I am far from their typical customer, but I was beyond impressed to have the shop owner actually listen to what I love about cigars and customize my own torpedo cigar.
Size does matter! I’ll be back for sure!

Nice place to visit my boyfriend was very happy with the selection and the prices. He smoked one cigar there and we flew home that night and he enjoyed another.

the cognac cigar made all my cares go away as I temporarily faded into a delicious haze of blissful tobacco induced oblivion. Small cigar shop with a small but decent variety of cigars, I believe they are all actually made in the Dominican Republic with tobacco from there. Prices seem pretty reasonable compared to prices at cigar shops I have visited in Tampa and Miami. I tried the cognac and cherry flavored cigars, they were great! The man working was friendly and patient with the questions of infrequent cigar smokers. I smoke a cigar about twice a year and I don’t smoke cigarettes, so I am not a tobacco expert.

Awesome small local shop that sells their own cigars… and none other! tons of shapes, sizes, and flavors.
Also a really great owner/​staff! They nicely exchanged a gift I gave to my step father with no questions asked.
I don’t smoke cigars but will be buying my smoker-​gifts here!
