Memphis's Cigar Scene
Memphis has a real cigar map, but it is split between downtown visitor stops, East Memphis retail lounges, Cordova cigar bars, Whitehaven, Lakeland, Collierville, and Southaven. The strongest cigar-first anchors are Havana Mix, Memphis Smokes, Smokers Abbey, Ynot, Blue Flame, Cigar Haven, and the local Tinder Box group.
For visitors, downtown is easy: Havana Mix, Tinder Box South Main, and Fat Charlie's cover Beale Street, South Main, and Harbor Town. For regular lounge time, Cordova, Whitehaven, Lakeland, Collierville, and Southaven add deeper humidors, memberships, patios, food, and bar programs.
