Ohio's Cigar Scene
Dayton is a stronger cigar route than its size suggests, with lounge stops in Wright-Dunbar, Beavercreek, West Carrollton, and Troy.
Use Wright Dunbar for the city anchor, The Wharf for Beavercreek retail-lounge depth, B&G's for the southwest metro, and Leaf & Vine when a Troy pairing stop fits the drive.
