This is by far the most interesting of cigar lounges. Or the most interesting diner. Or the most interesting lottery store. Or whatever it actually stands to be called because it’s all of it in one room. I love it. I think it’s great. I’m not from the area. My wife and I were visiting and were looking for a local cigar lounge. We ended up here. The lady behind the counter was very nice. The cigars are reasonable pricewise. Decent selection. They even have ops x and la aroma de Cuba noblesese. All kept in a walk in humidor.
I give it 5 stars. Any of you looking for a Manhattan style upscale lounge like the Carnegie Club, this isn’t for you.
I like it.

What a great place! I went here just looking for a place to smoke and have a drink. I was very impressed! They have a small but well stocked humidor, and also offer a «cap fee» of $ 7 if you would like to bring your own stick. Limited, but good beer selection, and some wines. All in all, the only way this place could be better is if it was free!

Hey, for what it is, you can’t ask for more. A night club or ultra premium cigar lounge it’s not but a gem of a local hang out spot it is. Right off I-95, easy to find.
Came in with my sons for a nice laid back hour or so today, bought a half a dozen premium cigars from the nicely stocked humidor and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We met the owner, who steered me to a nice smoke that I never would have tried on my own and even got some local fishing intel while we were there.
I would definitely recommend Calabash and I’ll be back on my next visit to the area.

It’s a tobacco shop, cigar bar, diner/restaurant all in one.
The have a pretty nice humidor right when you walk in. The humidor has a good selection. The room is split into two parts, the closer has tables, the further has a mix of tables and couches. In the second part they have a big projector for watching games (or in our case election news).
They have a few beers on tap, might have a few in bottles but I didn’t really look.
They also serve food– mainly sandwiches and such, but quite a few of the regulars were eating while we were there and swear by it. I was told they have periodic beer dinners that are really really good– they have it catered, usually four or five courses with beer included.
Overall we liked it, met a few regulars who were all really friendly, and it’s always nice to be able to smoke indoors.
