Was in Charleston for the annual Wine and Food Festival. Stopped in the little shop to watch two people hand rolling cigars. They only sell their own cigars. A mildish Ecuador and a medium to full bodied Maduro. The dried leaves in the shop smelled really good. I felt like I was taking a chance buying a couple dozen to take home as gifts as I did not have time to enjoy one in the shop. The cigars are moderately priced at around 6 to $10 depending on the size of the cigar. I'm smoking a moderate torpedo right now and I have to say this cigar excellent.

Great taste, good draw and wonderful flavor. I have ordered a bundle online. Prices for a bundle are very reasonable. Very professional when I called to place an order. Cigars arrived two days later, as fresh as the ones I bought in the store. Great experience and would highly recommend LDP. I'll be refilling my humidor shortly after I enjoy these...
Read moreI took my family to this location as a finale to the wonderful day we spent in Charleston but we were met by an unfriendly and unwelcoming staff.

There is a sign up that said something along the lines of 'please ask to take a picture not everyone enjoys having their picture taken.' With that in mind, my cousin asked is she could take a picture and she was told no by a very snarky woman who reiterated what the sign said. You can imagine the rest of the encounter... Just a suggestion but the sign should probably read "No pictures please". Uncomfortable experience we...
