There's a reason Savannah keeps showing up on lists of cities that feel like they belong to another era. The squares, the live oaks, the way nobody seems to be in a hurry. About 8 lounges and shops serve the area, which is a strong count for a city this size.
What most visitors don't realize until they arrive: Savannah has open container laws. You can walk through the historic district with a drink in hand. For cigar smokers, that changes things. You're not committed to one lounge for the whole evening. You can light up, stroll through a square, duck into a shop for something new, and keep moving.
The historic district and where to smoke
The cigar spots downtown sit close to the same streets tourists walk for restaurants and ghost tours. That's convenient, but it also means the best lounges here double as gathering spots for locals and travelers mixing together on any given evening.
Outside the tourist core, a few shops operate at a quieter pace. Less foot traffic, more regulars, sometimes better conversation.

BYOC, drinks, and Georgia's indoor smoking rules
Georgia's Smokefree Air Act exempts smoking lounges, private clubs, and retail tobacco stores, so indoor smoking is legal at these spots.
The cigar shops here are laid back about outside sticks. A few places don't care at all. Others charge a small cutting or lounge fee. Shops with dedicated seating areas usually prefer you buy from the humidor, but nobody's going to make it weird.
Downtown lounges tend to have solid drink menus: cocktails, whiskey, beer. The smaller shops outside the tourist zone lean BYOB. Individual listing pages have the details on who serves what.
