Cigar Barn by Anstead's Tobacco Co. — Attraction in Garner

Really great selection, high end stuff from Fuente, Liga Privada, and Padron. Space is well maintained and staff is helpful. From the folk behind Ansteads Fayetteville, one of the absolute nicest cigar lounges I've been to in the world, from San Juan to Singapore. Unfortunately, no where to smoke in this location, as its not a lounge, just a store. The prices are high. There's no beating around the bush, no diplomatic way to put it. And im not comparing it to online sources, im comparing it to other brick and mortars in the triangle. Compounding the high prices is the dearth of budget options. On my visit, there were exceptionally few options in the $7 or less price point, even for smaller sizes. I know those are fewer and farther between these days in general, but they do exist, and are underrepresented here to say the least.

They showed me several comparable options and explained why they were comparable, and gave me several price point options. I left with knowledge I didn't have and a cigar I really enjoyed. I will be frequenting...

When I first found this shop the doors wasn’t open for business yet, it was still in construction/stocking stage. However when I did actually get to stop in and browse around, it was amazing. Now I’m a regular. The selection is from A-Z, customer service is first class, staff is professional with outstanding knowledge and passion for cigars. Also on one of my visits to the barn, had the pleasure of meeting the owner, great guy, very knowledgeable and passionate about cigars not just another business owner. So when you are in search of that rare or special stick, or in need of just an everyday smoke, go see Charles, Cody, Bryan or Craig at the barn. I promise you will...
