We’re always looking for good spots that are cigar “friendly”. Unfortunately, when things heat up during the spring and summer, we often forget about the rules regarding where you can bring a cold beer to enjoy with your cigar. Whether it’s the pool, the river, the lake, or the beach, there seems to be a common theme of “no glass allowed”. A few years ago, this might translate to just a handful of canned beer options for you to pack into the cooler.

The good news is that canned beer typically remains fresher for a longer, travels well, and can be disposed of easily. While controversy surrounds Anheuser Busch about watering down their beer, craft breweries have been producing more high quality canned beers. Here are a few canned beers that you can find around Woodstock, Georgia.

5 Canned Beers to Try

• Watership Brown Ale by Red Hare Brewing Co – This hopped up American Brown Ale is brewed and canned in Marietta, Georgia. It comes in at 7.2% ABV with a nice blend of hops and sweetness. 
• Dale’s Pale Ale by Oskar Blues Brewery – This pale ale weighs in at 6.5% ABV and is highly regarded as trailblazer of canned beer in the craft beer world.
• Summer Ale by Brooklyn Brewery – Brooklyn Brewery knew exactly how important a good can and summer inspired ale go hand in hand. It looks as if they planned for you to take this beer out onto the water, so why don’t you give it a shot this summer when you’re by the lake?
• White Rascal by Avery Brewing Co – This white beer (Witbier) is extremely refreshing and perfect for relaxing by the ocean.  It has a nice citrus and spice flavor that you would come to expect from similar white beers.
• Pabst Blue Ribbon by Pabst Brewing Co – Sometimes you just need a cheap, light, and refreshing beer. PBR’s made popular the term “Tall Boys”, which refer to their 24oz cans (which are available in 6-packs) for next to nothing. This American Adjunct Lager is one of the more flavorful, and highest rated in the category.

Whether you hit the golf course, float down the river, or crisp on the beach, try grabbing a can of beer to enjoy with your cigar.

Wherever you go to enjoy your cigar this spring and summer, make sure you share a picture with your cigars from Mr. G’s on our Facebook page. Let us know what you’re smoking!

Now that the warm months are right around the corner, humidity and temperatures can rise quickly around the area. It’s important that you keep a close eye on your cigar humidor as the seasons begin to change. There are a few reasons why you might need to check in on your cigars.

• Cigar Beetles thrive in tropical environments, and a hot room or office, with an extra humid humidor make for a perfect environment for young tobacco beetles. 
• Humidity can build in your humidor quickly during these upcoming months, causing mold and decay.
• If you’re more of a seasonal smoker (I hear they exist), then you need to check on your cigars to make sure they are properly humidified altogether. Hopefully, you didn’t let them dry out over the dry winter months.

Whether you take impeccable care of your cigars during the year, it’s always a good idea to periodically check on your humidor to make sure it is properly maintained. Check your humidity levels to make sure everything is in order. Check all of your cigars for any possible cigar beetle damage as well.

If you happen to open up your humidor and you realize that you’re running low, stop by the cigar shop and grab some new cigars to fill your fresh humidor.

If you need a new humidor, sign up for Mr. G’s Newsletter and keep an eye out for upcoming specials.

Last week, we had a special event at our cigar shop in Woodstock to kick start the St Patty’s Day celebrations for the weekend ahead. We had a fun crowd of cigar and pipe enthusiasts who showed up for the event. Our pre St. Patrick’s Day smokes were made even more special with the help of Alec Bradley Cigars and their limited release “Filthy Hooligan” Black Market cigars (pictured right).

The afternoon was made even more special because of Kent, Alec Bradley’s Southern Gent, spending time at the cigar shop. Of course, he fit in well at the cigar shop and everyone had a great time getting a chance to kick back with him and enjoy a few new Black Market cigars.

Don’t miss out on our next event at the cigar shop with Mr. G and more. We’re always looking forward to catching up with our loyal customers and to meet new neighbors as well. Stay up to date by signing up for our newsletter.

I believe it’s time for another cigar…

It’s beginning to be that time of the year again, where we start getting excited about throwing a few cigar events. This time of the year is especially fun because the seasons are starting to change, which means more golf, cookouts, and baseball season. If you missed our most recent Oliva Cigar event at our shop last week, be sure to signup for our email newsletter. We’re updating the cigar events page on the site this week to cover the next few months, so stay tuned! You won’t want to miss the great deals and good times to be had at our Woodstock cigar shop.

Many pipe smokers have come to enjoy the past time by way of pipes passed down through generations. If the pipe has been well taken care of, the experience was most likely very enjoyable, which is why new pipe smokers want to invest in a new pipe. When people come into our cigar and pipe shop in Woodstock, Georgia, for a new pipe, it is occasionally their first new pipe. What they might not know is that all new pipes need to be broken in to enjoy to the fullest.

Check out this video tip from a pipe smoking enthusiast. A well taken care of pipe might end up being something that you are able to pass down to your grandchildren years from now.

Everyone is buzzing about the NFL playoff games, and who could blame them? The games last weekend were pretty exciting. Friends at our Woodstock cigar shop might know that we’re Chiefs fans at the shop, but that doesn’t mean that a great football. As kickoff approaches, there are a few things that you can do to make the game a little bit more enjoyable so that you can savor the final weeks of football this season.

Game Time Necessities

Make your game in front of the TV as enjoyable as possible with a few essentials.

• Game Grub: Food is an essential part to watching the game. Whether you’re looking for something smothered in liquid cheese and ground beef, or chips and salsa, having something to grab during the game will keep you fueled for all four quarters.
• Stay Refreshed: Cold beer, whiskey neat, or an ice cold lemonade; whatever liquid you choose to keep your mouth from getting parched, make sure you have some backups on hand for the entire game. You don’t want to find yourself in the situation where you have the perfect game time grub and nothing good for washing it down.
• Half Time Cigar: Take some time away from the TV for a cigar break. We have some great cigar selections that you can enjoy during halftime.

We hope you enjoy your Sunday of football and cigars. If you need to grab a few sticks before the games, feel free to stop by the cigar shop today.
