It\u2019s Blue Smoke of Knoxville, TN.<\/p>\n<p>Opening its doors in 2016, Blue Smoke (formerly Smokin\u2019 Joes) has quickly become a go-to location for the eastern Tennessee cigar community and for those passing through on their way to the Rocky Mountains. Whether you sit in the front area or the special \u201cMembers\u201d lounge, every time the door opens you\u2019ll hear the patron greeted by their name. Speaking of lounge areas, I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention that Blue Smoke is the 1st and only Caldwell Cigars Lounge. With that being said, you can\u2019t help but notice the wide variety of unique Caldwell artwork and decor on every wall and in every corner of every room.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21733\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21733\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-art.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Smoke Cigar Lounge Knoxville Tennessee\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-art.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-art-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-art-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-21733\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Justin Harris<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>The Humidor<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_21735\" style=\"width: 270px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21735\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21735\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-humidor-knoxville-tn-500x666.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Smoke Cigar Lounge Knoxville Tennessee\" width=\"260\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-humidor-knoxville-tn-500x666.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-humidor-knoxville-tn.jpg 578w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-21735\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Justin Harris<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of course there are cigars a plenty. Blue Smoke is super shopper-friendly in that there is plenty of space to move around the walk-in humidor so you can browse their selection comfortably. What makes their humidor unique is the sheer number of lines from each brand they carry. Of course they have every Caldwell cigar you could ever want, every mainstream brand like Rocky Patel and Arturo Fuente, but they also have Tennessee\u2019s largest array off Ernesto Perez-Carrillo cigars. And when you cap that off with several hidden-gem boutique brands, you have everything to need to make your premium cigar collection and experience complete.<\/p>\n<p>If pipes and pipe tobacco are your cup of tea, Blue Smoke offers more than a dozen tobacco flavors and varieties that can be mixed to your liking. Need cigar accessories, gift ideas or storage options? No problem there either, as desktop and travel humidors, humidification devices, ashtrays and premium cigar cutters and lighters are also available for purchase.<\/p>\n<h3>Membership Has Its Privileges<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re planning on becoming a regular at Blue Smoke or if you\u2019re merely passing through or hanging with member for the day, they make it easy for you to enjoy all of their amenities. Yearly plans are available, with or without a locker, which grant access to the multi-roomed experience, special events and luxury. Daily memberships are also available for a mere $8.00, so you can kick the tires on the brick and mortar and get a taste of their membership privileges.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21737\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21737\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21737\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-knoxville-tn.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Smoke Cigar Lounge Knoxville Tennessee\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-knoxville-tn.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-knoxville-tn-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/blue-smoke-cigar-lounge-knoxville-tn-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-21737\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Justin Harris<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Benefits include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Discounts in shop and at local liquor stores<br \/>\n\u2022 Special event invites<br \/>\n\u2022 Card tournaments<br \/>\n\u2022 Huge TVs with the NFL Sunday Ticket and other exclusive sporting events<br \/>\n\u2022 BYOB access and a kitchenette (with popcorn machine)<br \/>\n\u2022 Conference rooms<br \/>\n\u2022 &#8230;and the coup de gr\u00e2ce&#8230;a golf simulator!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I said it.
