What golfer doesn’t enjoy the inviting
aroma emanating from a cigar, as it wafts
gently over the golf course? Third Street
Cigar inWaterville understands the needs
of cigar smokers and has everything
aficionados need to enjoy a cheroot,
corona, panatela or just a plain old stogie.
Four local men, cigar smokers all, David
Webb, John Henry, Randy Tucker and
Dan Cassavar had discussed the idea of
opening an all-inclusive smoker’s club
that catered to area smokers.
Their idea was to offer a complete line
of the highest-quality cigars available
and to provide a comfortable setting to
relax and enjoy a personal favorite, while
conversing with fellow smokers. They
also wanted a stage for the best blues
entertainers to perform locally.
It’s not just all cigars a
t Third Street Cigar,it has become known as a favorite stop by
national blues artists that provide some of
the best live music in the Greater Toledo
area.
In addition to being a cigar aficionado,
partner John Henry has been involved
with the local music scene for over 30
years and the walls of Third Street Cigar
are lined with original photos of every
“rock & roll” and “Blues” legend that
appeared in Toledo since the 1950’s.
Henry was one of the original founders
of the Black Swamp Blues Society and is
still active in the organization today.
Original photographs of Elvis, Jerry Lee
Lewis, Chuck Berry, Freddy Mercury, as
well as, Bruce Springsteen and David
Bowie, shot by John Rockwood and
John Kuser, line the walls and provide a
museum of Toledo’s music history.
