M.A. ’ s CIGAR COMPANY O SM
SETTING THE STANDARD FOR PREMIUM CIGARS AND PIPE TOBACCO For nearly 50 years, plenty has changed at M.A.’s Cigar Company. Ownership has passed from one generation to another, premium cigars have become a larger part of the business, and the shop recently moved into a new home on Fairfield Avenue. But through every chapter, some things have remained remarkably consistent: quality tobacco, knowledgeable service, and the relationships built across the counter and inside the lounge. M.A.’s story began in 1976, when Ralph and Mary Ann Williams founded what was then M.A.’s Smoke House. The name itself comes from Mary Ann’s initials. Their son, Buddy Williams, later carried on the family business before ownership transitioned to Matthew St. Amant in 2015.
Since then, Matthew has worked to preserve what made M.A.’s special while preparing the business for its next generation. The shop has naturally evolved alongside the tobacco industry. In its earlier years, the traditional tobacconist experience centered more heavily on pipes, pipe tobacco, and other tobacco products. Over time, premium cigars became an increasingly important part of the business. What M.A.’s has resisted is changing simply for the sake of following a trend. While some modern cigar shops have increasingly incorporated bars and entertainment concepts, M.A.’s remains focused on being a cigar shop first. The cigar, the customer, and the conversation remain at the center of the experience. That starts inside the humidor. M.A.’s carries cigars across a range of strengths, sizes, origins, and flavor profiles. Selections are based on factors including quality, consistency, reputation, and what customers are enjoying. But knowing the products is only part of being a tobacconist. Knowing the customer matters, too. The team might ask what someone normally smokes, what flavors they enjoy or avoid, how much time they have, or even what they plan to drink with their cigar. Those conversations help guide customers toward something suited to their preferences rather than simply the most expensive option available.

That personal guidance also makes the shop approachable for someone stepping into a dedicated cigar store for the first time. Customers do not need to understand different wrappers or know exactly what they want before walking through the door. M.A.’s wants newcomers to feel comfortable asking questions and discovering cigars at their own pace. Once the right cigar is selected, the experience can continue in the lounge. For M.A.’s, the social side of cigar culture is an important part of what has sustained the
Now, those generations are coming together in a new setting. M.A.’s recently moved to 5863 Fairfield Ave., bringing its nearly 50-year history into a building with deep community roots of its own. Dating to the 1940s, the location has previously been home to Fielders, Fairfield Grocery, and restaurants. For Matthew, bringing M.A.’s into a building with its own history is particularly fitting. Both represent the opportunity to respect what came before while giving it a future. That balance feels especially meaningful as M.A.’s approaches
business. Its lounge brings together people from different professions, backgrounds, and walks of life who might otherwise never meet. A shared interest in cigars might begin the interaction, but conversations and relationships often extend well beyond them. Some customers have been visiting for decades. Over time, the M.A.’s team has come to know their families, preferences, and stories. Others are part of a younger generation just beginning to explore cigars and pipe tobacco.
its 50th anniversary. The milestone offers a chance to celebrate the customers, conversations, and relationships that have sustained the business while continuing to introduce new people to the culture of premium cigars and pipe tobacco. Fifty years may be worth celebrating, but M.A.’s does not see it as a finish line. Instead, the shop is carrying the traditions that shaped its past into whatever comes next, one cigar and one conversation at a time.
EXCEPTIONAL CIGARS,
A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE,
AND A TOUCH OF HISTORY.
