A view inside Highland Cigar Company.
This weekend I ventured to Highland Cigar Company in Atlanta’s Inman Park Village and must say that I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience at a so-called “cigar bar.” Though not a cigar aficionado by any means, I almost felt like one as I lounged against the warm leather sofas lining the room, while sipping a glass of twenty-year old port, and puffing my bourbon-vanilla flavored cigar.
Upon doing so I joined the statistic that about 11% of Americans aged 18 to 25 had smoked a cigar within the last month (compared to the average of 5% from all ages) – data that may allow one to infer that cigar accessories as corporate gifts or other means of branded merchandise can be well received by young professionals, as well as the old.
