Low lights, leather and the lingering of cigar smoke is what one can expect when walking through the doors of Truly Cigars. It offers the Florence area a plethora of different cigars, but it also offers a different environment to kick back and relax in.

The shop is in the Target shopping center and is open seven days a week. It also hosts monthly events, such as the Perdomo Cigar Event in the beginning of October, where newcomers and regulars are welcome to try the cigar and meet the sales representative.

Truly Cigars wants to make their customers feel at home. The store is furnished with padded leather chairs, mounted TVs, and ceiling-to-floor shelves of cigars.

People can expect to find Alec Bradley, Don Pepin, Habana Cellars, Rocky Patel, Monte Cristo and Avo brands of cigars lining the shelves.

“All are welcome,” said Tobias Jones, manager of Truly Cigars. “You don’t have to be of any sort of social class. Men and women of all incomes and ethnicities are invited. Come check us out. We will take care of you when you visit.”

The regular customers enjoy what the store offers.

“I’m on my website, working, every day,” said Rebecca Lehnert, a local real estate agent and store regular. “It is a nice place to get out of the office and meet people. I love the ambiance. I’ve gotten leads here and people to help my business. It’s a win-win situation.”

Other regulars come for the same reasons.

“The store offers nice atmosphere and people,” said Josh Flanagan, a regular. “It is a great place just to come in and relax, and watch sports on the TVs.”

The store employees enjoy catering to their fan base.

“There’s a good team of hardworking people who are dedicated to serving the people working here,” said Trent Busby, an associate of the store and tobacconist.

The store also has a website, www.trulycigars.com, where people can order cigars, find information on what it takes to be an “aficionado” and information on upcoming events.

Truly Cigars strives to provide a comfortable environment, a knowledgeable staff, and a wide, detailed variety of cigars to select from.
