“ Celebrate endings - for they precede new beginnings” - Jonathan Lockwood Huie
We would like to Thank you for being a valued patron of the Lighthouse Cigar and Gift Shop. In addition, we are writing to you about an important change in our ability to serve you better in the near future.
As of April 6, 2022 Tara and I will no longer be operating the Lighthouse Cigar and Gift Shop, And as I reflect upon all we’ve shared together with you, I can’t believe how quickly time has passed.
Some of our proudest accomplishments over this past year can be measured by our bringing in more of what you demanded. Such as bringing in vendors like Rojas, J.C. Newman, and L.H. Ci**rs. Giving you more of what Perdomo has to offer. And we can’t forget the incredible line of My Father Ci**rs along with the extraordinary ensemble of Esteban Carreras. We’ve worked really hard to bring you the best limited-edition products like the Amazon Basin, Alec Bradley’s Trilogy and the Diesel Crucible.
And let’s not forget to mention the excellent array of Food Trucks throughout the Spring and Summer.
Without sounding braggadocious, I want you to know the privilege I’ve cherished knowing that you were choosing me as your “go-to” fills my heart with so much pride and passion to do even more for you.
That’s a big part of why my parents came down for a weekend and helped Tara and I refurbish the Grand Lounge with fresh paint; new updated lighting; and more comfortable leather seating so that you’d be treated like no other cigar shop owner would treat you.
From the monthly cigar club gatherings, to serving the men and women of our military, police and firefighters, each and every moment meant more to me than you may ever know.
I have come to discover that it’s true what Mike Walters says, “The Lowcountry has the nicest people in the world”. And we will always cherish the warm and inviting smiles we’ve come to share with you. Words cannot truly express the deep sense of gratitude and appreciation we hold and extend to each and every one of you.
Seeing your smiles when your eyes light up as you discover something new has been one of my personal joys . Particularly while facilitating a Pipe Class. It is these friendships and experiences we have forged together that drive us to outwork and outperform any of our competitors. We are just as committed to you today as you are to us. Which in large part makes writing this so difficult.
Tara and I have come to the realization that if we are to continue providing you with the highest degree of quality service you’ve come to expect and enjoy, we must relocate to a location that will accommodate our vision for such higher quality of service. We never want to be too big for our britches, but we also don’t want to be caught trying to dress like the Jones’.
But don’t fret, we will continue offering Roma Craft, Black Label, Aganorsa Leaf, and All Saints Ci**rs, along with all the brands you know and love. We will be expanding our pipe to***co selection to include Cornell and Dehil, and CAO pipe to***cos as well as offering a larger selection of pipes including our very own Hand Carved Custom Pipes created in-house. There will be other amenities at our new location as well like some homemade BBQ, along with more parking and the opportunity for more, larger events.
Therefore, Tara and our entire family and staff are EXCITED to introduce you to the - soon to be - most sought after to***co venue in all of the Lowcountry - The Rampant Lion Pipes and Tobacco™.
And remember, this is just the beginning in our pursuit to fulfill your passion for the premium to***cos you have all come to love and expect. So, stay tuned for more updates as we roll out more details over the next few weeks.
And again, from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU for your patronage and moral support. And as always, I remain
Sincerely yours,
Erich Caudell
