"The flowers appearon the earth; the time ofthe singingofbirds is come andthe voice ofthe turtle dove is heardin ourland." SongofSolomon 2:12

A New Beginning

Almost 20 years ago, local businessman Tim Harris got some of his fellow cigar-loving friends together and formed an informal cigar club in Valdosta. Meeting once a month at various locations, the group enjoyed fun conversations over delicious food and fine cigars.

A year after the local cigar bar closed, Tim started looking into the possibility of re-opening the property with a new focus and passion of exceptional customer service and a more varied selection of fine cigars, pipes, pipe tobacco, domestic and craft beers, and fine wine, not ordinarily found in Valdosta. As his ability to acquire former furnishings and smoke eaters took shape, the idea of bringing the old store back to life came closer to reality.

Tim approached friend and fellow cigar-lover Michael Jetter, who had a strong background in management and customer service, about managing the shop. Jetter can connect with customers Harris was looking for.

Finally, after months of hurried preparations, Stogies Downtown was born on New Years' Eve 2014. Nothing like ringing out the old and banging the gong with the new!!

Six years later, Stogie's growth has been built on service and education. Tim and Michael have visited the facilities and farms of Tabacalera Perdomo in Esteli, Nicaragua, where they learned the many components of growing, fermenting, and assembling first-class cigars. In 2017, Michael was awarded the designation of Certified Retail Tobacconist by Tobacco University and the Premium Cigar Association (PCA). Michael has furthered his education with a visit to the Rocky Patel Premium Cigar factories in both Honduras and Nicaragua.

They have been fortunate to build friendships with some of the best cigar representatives in the business. They work with them closely to stock the best mix of cigars to please their valued customers. When you step into the humidor, Michael and Tim want you to select the perfect "stick" from a popular range of manufactures and to enjoy it in a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Of course, they are happy to pack it up for travel to your favorite hide-a-way.

Tim and Michael are excited to welcome cigar lovers from throughout South Georgia and North Florida to browse the hundreds of scents in the store's beautiful walk-in humidor, sample from among the 45 different beers, and sip on a glass of delicious wine. Stogies Downtown is a place to meet, mingle, and make new friends and for old friends to build even stronger relationships.

Adopt-A-Bench Program Downtown Get Down at

The Adopt-A-Bench program was established in 2019 as a fund to maintain and endow the care of downtown Valdosta’s benches. In recognition of contributions to the fund, Main Street Valdosta installs a personalized plaque on a bench of the donor's choosing. Benches may be endowed for $1,250. A bench is a wonderful way to memorialize or honor a loved one. While the plaques take about eight weeks for production and installation, a personalized certificate can be provided immediately upon adoption to notify the recipient that a bench has been adopted in their honor. Your donation of $1,250 will be acknowledged with a personalized plaque on the bench of your choice. Full payment must be received before a bench can be reserved. Bench adoption payment can be made by check or credit card. Not all benches without plaques are available. Valdosta Main Street can provide maps of any of your preferred locations. For more information or to Adopt-A-Bench, contact Main Street Valdosta at 229-259-3577.
