Visiting Columbia, SC 02/15 through 02/24...
 

I'll be visiting beautiful Columbia, SC during the week of 02/15 through 02/24 for training with my company, and figured that I may be able to squeeze in a little time at night or during the weekend to visit a B&M or two (depending on the company's training schedule, etc.).

Question to those Inmates in the Columbia area is a recommendation for a good B&M that is well stocked cigar and pipe tobacco wise, friendly, and allows a person to smoke on premise.

I found a couple on the "cigarfriendly" web site which appear to look interesting:

The Tobacco Merchant
1220 Bower Parkway
Columbia, SC 29212

The Maduro Room
Hope Ferry Center
5175 Sunset Blvd, Suite 14
Lexington, SC 29072

I thank you and look forward to your comments...:ss

Mark,

There is a very cool B&M that I frequent in the Sand Hills just northeast of Columbia (it is still considered to be in Columbia). It is called Lite Um Up Cigars. The owner is Tom Burns, a retired Army Purple Heart winner and a great guy. I would be more than willing to meet you there for a nice smoke and a cold beer when you get into town!

Visited Lite Um Up Cigars for the first time on my last visit to Columbia back in January. Two thumbs up!!! The atomsphere was great and the regulars were funny as hell.....and nice too! I never felt like a stranger. The owner, Tom, is fantastic. Besides having fun you will learn a lot too. :tu

This month, the herfs are on Thursdays.

As the guys tell me, the Merchant is the place to go. The Maduro Room is just a hop, skip and a jump from the W.H.A.T.

A couple of us are at the Tobacco Merchant on Bower Parkway watching some basketball and having a few beers and cigars if you're free.

Thanks Joey. I've had this bug which I've been trying to get rid of and had to cancel out on the W.H.A.T. :(
