Vitola Fine Cigars

I was with a gal-pal of mine who wanted to go shopping at Brookwood Village Mall in Birmingham.  "Okay," I said.  "I'll take you.  But if we're going on a road trip, I want to find a new cigar shop somewhere during our journey!"

In the Brookwood parking lot, I pulled up the "Local" app on my phone, and, amazingly, there appeared to be a cigar shop just a few blocks away.  So off we headed.  Located almost next-door to one of my all-time favorite pizza places, Vitola had only been open for a few weeks, so it was indeed "new."  I was also glad to have found a perfect little cigar haven right next to another place I already knew and enjoyed.

The staff at Vitola is friendly, the ambiance is relaxing and welcoming, and the cigar selection is very good--not to mention that, unlike several cigar lounges I've visited, Vitola understands the importance of proper humidification.  So the smokes are fresh, light up right and burn well, and taste great.

A fabulous find, Vitola is now one of my favorite cigar lounges!

I can only review this cigar shop from the view from outside because they were closed. The posted opening time was 10AM, I admired the storefront and the sign with their operating hours until I had to leave for my meeting, about 10:15AM. Maybe they were encouraging me to quit?
