The large sepia tones photos caught our attention, so we stopped in. Think Ansel Adams large scale, detailed prints from the national parks. These were of the South Carolina low country, Italy, and out west. The prints start as black and white, then sepia toned to create the specific look. Worth the time to visit.

Bluffton is the coolest town, even though the long-time residents feel it's a different town than what they grew up in. But what town hasn't undergone change like that? And if you're that cool of a place, more people want to share in it. The Market is really great, with lots of vendors offering sublime treats, from the Georgia boys and their exquisite meats and eggs and etc, to the freshest produce that comes from nearby farms, to the to-die-for Paella husband and wife team and their saffron-infused bomba rice-based creations, to the Sprouts Momma's unbelievable bread and cookies and other treats, and on and on. And the guy who plays awesome finger style guitar is an added treat. Go there for a super lunch, then shop and drop some bucks on these wonderful folks who take such pride in their efforts and area.

The owner and staff team are highly knowledagable about tobaccana, and will help you find something you'll love. Their selection is insane, with some of the rareist and most sought after cigars moving through this place. Carl, the main buyer, is likely to be the most educated cigar aficionado you will ever meet. A most unusal local South Carolina spot. Besides being the ONLY establishment where you can purchase & smoke incredible cigars in a casually classy atmosphere, you can also get your hair cut by Aveda stylist Hillary, eat from a quality menu (Chef Nelly is a gem), drink from a full bar, and shop for classic Vinyl records. The main bartenders are great - one is a marine, the other a sea captain. Both super nice characters. Lots of activities/events through the week - trivia, karyoke, movie nights, open mic night, occasionally they have educational lectures on cigars - Rocky Patel himself has come on several occasions

I love giving gifts that are special and unique. I used to own a fine craft and art gallery so am thrilled when I find a place that captures my interests. Pluff Mud Art did just that. The walls are filled with art that I could have filled my walls with but I was there to buy a wedding gift and a house warming gift. I found both among a wide selection of pottery, wood turning and carving items and jewelery. The craftsmanship is excellent and the displays are well spaced so each piece can be viewed properly. There are a number of rooms and a lot to look at, I helped the local economy by all my gifts there.
