I found this place while in Jacksonville and I been going there every since. The guy Keith helped me out and showed me there own special blend the vanilla ones and the rum I been buying the big and small of the rum kind and the small of the vanilla ones. They have alot to choose from but those are the ones im stuck on. I recommend that you go and try them out. And they also ship to you. Ill continue to go there whenever Im dropping my trailer here
Mr. Moe and his cigars are amazing! Truly a great experience. Check out Mr. Moes personal, custom, signature cigar that he sells. The best part about a local shop like this is that they ship, so you can get his products anywhere! Great stuff!
Great hidden place. Friendly people good selection of cigars
Great selection, great prices, and great atmosphere. I stopped in and talked to the owner who went above and beyond to help me find cigars that fit my budget and flavor profile. I will definitely be stopping by again.
I came here for a secret Santa present for a pipe smoker. The employees were very knowledgeable ask me helped me out since I knew nothing about what I was doing. Highly recommended! Very professional, very courteous.
This is the ONLY place I will ever buy cigars from. Moe(owner) and Keith take their craft serious and Moe has smoked EVERY cigar he keeps in stock. So fortunate to have this shop in Jax.
Good selection, comfortable chairs, friendly staff . . . I would definitely go back!
Knowledgeable employees Good deals with a relaxed atmosphere what more can you ask for
Nothing quite like the smell of a humidor! If only they made air freshener with that smell!
Im late with this review... Sorry.We were on our way from Texas to South Carolina by way of Florida. We wanted cigars. My son found Holy Smokes on his phone and we made a dash for the shop. We thought we would be in and out but we ended up talking with the owner for about an hour or so. Good selection and a relaxed atmosphere. We wish we had been able to stay and smoke there but we had to get back on the road. If we ever get back to Jacksonville we will make it a point to stop.This was back in June of 2019. Told you I was late...
Prices to high need more variety of cheaper cigars
Definitely the best cigar shop in town. They have a great selection of botique brands, plus a generous selection of the finest big names on the market. I found their prices to be comparable to ABC and Total Wine, but with a much better selection. The folks in there are always friendly and helpful.
Holy Smokes is simply a great place to go. No matter when you go. If its the busiest day or the slowest youre welcomed and greated with hospitality. Mo is excellent at what he does and knows his cigars. No matter how seasoned you are with your cigars Mo always has a good way of finding you something different and which you will enjoy. Been coming back since they first opened and its a great place to be. Highly recommend stopping by. Mo also has a great selection of pipes and tobacco.
Stopped In Today Met Moe & And His Pal Rich Both Awesome Gentlemen... Moe Is A Wonderful Cigar Connoisseur Highly Intelligent. Holy Smokes Has A Nice Variety Of Top Notch Cigars. I Left With Some Amazing Sticks Very Pleased With My Purchase And Will Be Back To Visit Soon Enough...
This is my favorite cigar shop in north Florida. If you are a brand new cigar smoker, or if you are shopping on behalf of somebody else, Mo will take the time to find you the perfect cigars for your palette. He has a keen ability to ask you a series of questions, listen to the way you answer, and pair you with cigars that match your preferences. This is maybe the only place in town to come and LEARN about the art and enjoyment of cigar smoking.If you are an experienced cigar smoker, you will find dozens of cigars here that you won’t find anywhere else locally. Mo stocks the well-known brands but he also has the biggest selection of boutique cigars in town. When he tells you cigar has “citrus notes” or reminds you of “a glass of cold iced tea” you will realize you’re dealing with a tobacconist that could write for your favorite cigar magazine.No snobbery in this place. Just a friendly tobacconist with the heart of a teacher who loves to help you find the perfect smokes for you! You’ll find a regular rotation of friendly customers smoking as well and make new friends quickly. I love this place and you will too.
I am new to cigars. The owner is helpful in making suggestions. Very enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.
An awesome cigar store. One of e best experiences I have had sitting in the shop smoking and talking to the owner. When in Jacksonville, it’s a must go to place.
Stopped by heading back to SC. Went there to pick up a few sticks for my father in-law. Moe helped me out choose a few cigars, while also explaining the history of the cigar. We will be back when we head back to Florida. Great customer service and great prices.
Moe was very helpful in helping me select my very first pipe and even gave me a nice tutorial on how to clean the pipe and pack a bowl with several good tips on smoking. They have a gigantic selection of cigars. Def made a repeat customer out of me.
Great staff and a very nice customer base no matter if youre new to cigars or a long time enthusiast you will right at home. Myself being new to the hobby I always felt that I could ask any questions about the quality and flavor and I was always taken care of. After visiting other cigar lounges and shops like island girl I would definitely say that this is the best shop in Jacksonville both in terms of stock and friendliness.
So glad I stopped in. Youll find a great selection of brands you recognize, and a whole wall of VERY excellent boutique cigars. Mo was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and knows how to hook you up with a cigar in your price range that you will enjoy. I had a medium/full bodied cigar from the boutique wall that was simply amazing and extremely affordable. I went to a major cigar shop here in town RIGHT before heading to Mos place and it was easily 20 minutes in the humidor before anyone even said hello. Not so at Holy Smokes. Great time, great place. If youre lucky, Mo might sit down with his guitar and blow your mind with incredible original music. Dont bother with the other shops. Will be back with friends soon.
My wife and I recently visited and were blown away at how welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful the guys were. As a new transitioning pipe smoker ... Thank you and very Refreshing for us.
Great place. Amazing cigar selection and customer service as well. I will definitely be coming back soon
Excellent place to buy /have a cigar and relax, down home feeling when you walk in the door, nothing snobbish about this place. My go to place when Im in Jacksonville. Good selection, fair prices, outstanding service, no pushing sales person. Come on in visit with Mo and Stogie.. sit a spell and light one up let your stress just fade away.
I was able to get away from my conference for a few hours and visit Holy Smokes. The owner was really nice, knowledgeable, and welcoming; he took the time to introduce me to all the regulars and talk to be about some of the cigars he carried. The store is well stocked with the usually brands, but he stocks a wide assortment of boutique labels. I thought the prices were good and in addition to my usuals smokes I picked up a few new blends on his recommendation. Relaxed vibe, comfortable smoking area, and great shop dogs; highly recommended!
Asked for some suggestions and am very glad I did. Definitely will be going back.
Good selection and the house Maduro that was recommended was outstanding burned great and taste just as good as other name brands.
Very friendly and helpful. Went in there without knowing anything and owner made me feel very comfortable with purchase.
From one Family Business to another ; Well done ! I found Moe @ Holy Smokes about two weeks ago and have been back two times to acquire courteous, professional and PATIENT advice. Then I mention Moe @ H.S. to my two Family Members in our business as a result of my experience. Both family members reply, Oh yeah, we buy from that guy, too. So, three out of three family consumers find Moe to be the breath of fresh air as to purveyors of fine Cigars. Moe is gracious and extremely perceptive to his customers needs and is NOT a compulsive up-seller in his expertise, HE LISTENS ! Thank you Moe for reminding us older guys that business is still being conducted the old fashioned way, through respect of customer and desire to create a relationship. From your Friends at Reliant Engineered Products ......Salud !
Was referred to Holy Smokes by a friend and I couldnt be happier. Have been smoking cigars for a number of years and recently decided to switch to pipes for a change of pace. Was met by Mo as soon as I entered and he gave me the lay of the land tour as he called it. Very impressive layout and super relaxed atmosphere. Mo is very knowledgeable and took his time with me as I smelled various blends. I even opted to purchase my first Meerschaum while I was there. I highly recommend Holy Smokes and definitely will be a frequent customer!
Walked into Holy Smokes for the first time and Mo showed me around the store and gave me a tour of the huge selection of cigars. JD let me check out all the pipe tobacco and pipes. Super helpful staff. Friendly atmosphere and a lounge area for chilling out with a nice cigar or pipe.
Check this place out! Moe is genuine and a gracious host, never understood the idea of just sitting down to enjoy a cigar. A true art form tought and encouraged by the staff... Thanks for enlightening me to a form and of meditation!
This is an excellent place to acquire cigars and relax. The staff is super friendly and the owner is a gracious host. I look forward to visiting again soon. The selection of cigars is tremendous and staff is happy to make knowledgeable recommendations.
Go here and buy great cigars from Mo, an honest knowledgeable aficionado, at reasonable prices. Mo helped me select a number of unique well priced cigars for a group golf trip coming up. If you like to support small local businesses and deal directly with the owner this is where you should buy your cigars.
Nice cigar lounge. Very comfortable atmosphere. Large cigar selection. Mo, the owner, is a nice guy who plays a mean guitar. I’m from out of town and highly recommend stopping in for a cigar.
Great place, good vibe and great selection. Owner was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out cigars for my groomsmen. Nice smoking lounge and area too.
Mo - the shop owner - is a top notch tobacconist and a humble host. I found his shop via the Cigar Aficionado where to smoke app, while in town for business. Its a small quaint non-descript shop, and that is what makes it special. If you are deserving, Mo will play you one of his songs on guitar - and hes pretty good! Thanks again Mo.
Eclectic shop, widest selection in town. Mo, proprietor, most knowledgeable cigar guy Ive ever known. Great relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend .
Top cigar shop in Jax. Incredible selection of all the high end and boutique cigars. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable as a top tier shop should be. Spacious lounge with plenty of comfortable seating.
Cigar lounges tend to be friendly spots... And it is almost cliche to say they have a wide selection. So when these things are said, they tend to be ignored. Dont do that here... This is a friendly place with a wide selection, and its a one of a kind experience ..
Great experience. Very knowledgeable about cigars. A must for any cigar or pipe enthusiasts!
Great place, great service. Good selection and low key atmosphere!
Large selection of pipes. Loved the dog.Stoggie
Nice owner ...
The owner really knows what hes doing. Very kind and helpful. Awesome shop with a cool vibe. Also, not your normal smoke shop, they specialize in pipes and cigars.
Easy place to spend the day, or a portion there of. Prices reasonable. Staff knowledgeable.....and most importantly, RELAXED 😀
Huge selection. Very friendly. Will definately go back
Incredible selection, and attentive staff. Friendly environment of like minded cigar aficionados. Top Notch.

Tonight I went to holy smokes with my cousin looking for a birthday gift, I didnt know anything about cigars, the nice gentleman was so patient and kind and very helpful, I really did appreciate that,I just wanted to say thank you again,I will be recommended your shop to people I know
Excellent selection, personalized service!
I just spent about 8 hours at this shop.They carry all the big brands but also have a huge selection of boutique cigars. Check out this place if you are looking for cigars that are hard to find! Next to the usual vitolas, you will find a few shorter and skinnier sticks such as lanceros and coronas. They have something for everyone, casual smokers and geeks.The staff is just amazing! Mo and Mary are very knowledgeable and helpful. Stogie is great too :)I met awesome people at this shop and had the best conversations!Thanks a lot for having me! What an experience!
Great cigars, perfect hang out to sit and enjoy smoking one Moe helps you find.
Great selection, humble down to earth owner, they speak to the level of your cigar background regardless of what that may be. Worth a stop
Such a friendly staff always willing to help you find what your looking for and find out what kind of cigars you may like i wouldnt go anywhere else
Huge selection, personal help and beyond friendly.
A pleasant place to be, even if you dont smoke cigars.
Friendly, knowledgable, great atmosphere with good prices.
Awesome shop to hang out in. Great line of boutique cigars. Great owner/operator
What a great shop. I was in there a few weeks ago and saw a lot of great boutique cigars that Ive never had a chance to buy. Mo was very helpful and you can tell that hes a true tobacco enthusiast. Buy the Marrero Tico Lancero and thank me later!
Great place to enjoy your cigar
The place is a giant humidor. Comfortable chairs, HD TV, great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff. 5/5.
Stopped here on the way home to pick up some cigars for my dad. Owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Excellent Cigar and Pipe shop Mo tje owner is very knowledgeable.
Best boutique Cigar shop in North Florida. No glass pipes etc. quality craft cigars with a large selection and good seating area
I was recently introduced to Holy Smokes Cigar and Pipe Shop in the San Marco area of Jacksonville by a BNI friend and fellow Cigar smoker Boris Galustov. I felt welcome and right at home from the minute I walked in. Mo Leverett, the owner gave me a tour of the variety of cigars along with a little history of the blend, country of tobacco origin and other interesting notes. I chose some sticks and began the lighting ceremony. I am impressed by the diverse variety of cigars offered and reasonable pricing. And as a BONUS, Mo picked up his guitar and played some original tunes which knocked my socks off (not that I wear socks- but you get the message)David NevesBroker AssociateWatson Realty
