Birmingham, Alabama cigar lounges expand with new venues

Key spots include the members‑only Black Leaf Cigar Company on 3rd Ave West with its custom triple‑insulated humidor, Bodega on Fifth offering cocktails and a courtyard, and The Briary, noted for its extensive pipe collection and large walk‑in humidor.
