Owner Kathleen Kelly noticed that as time went on, more people continued to ask for a place to purchase cigars in the village.<br \/>\nWith a boom in cigar smoking going on during the mid-1990s, it was an easy decision for Kelly to start carrying cigars, she said. Soon after, she started the premium tobacco e-commerce website CupOJoes.com.<br \/>\nAlong with the growth in the e-commerce business, the physical store location moved south to Queensbury and became Queensbury Cigar &amp; Pipe at 1036 Route 9. <!--more--><br \/>\nThe brick &amp; mortar location has been recognized as one of the top cigar lounges in the United States, and is the Adirondack\u2019s largest cigar store, according to Kelly.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a labor of love.\u201d Said Kathleen Kelly. \u201cThe past 25 years have been an incredible ride, and I\u2019m blessed to have such amazing customers and staff.\u201d<br \/>\nAlong with being a high-volume retail store, the business strives to create unique events for customers.<br \/>\n\u201cWe want to create experiences our customers will remember,\u201d said sales manager Dan Davison. \u201cYou can buy cigars anywhere. We want to give our customers a reason to come back, and support the store.\u201d<br \/>\nIn the last few years, Queensbury Cigar &amp; Pipe has become a pay-per-view partner of UFC, hosted comedy roast events, and created the Montecristo Members Club, a semi-private cigar lounge located in store that gives participating members a secluded area to enjoy a cigar, sports, and events in comfortable recliners.<br \/>\nOn Oct. 8, the store will host its 25th anniversary party and release the Kristoff QCP 25, a limited-edition cigar to commemorate the anniversary.<br \/>\nMore information is available at shop\u2019s website, CupOJoes.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queensbury Cigar &amp; Pipe is celebrating its 25th year anniversary.
