Smoker’s Haven has been a part of the Northfield community for more than nine years. As one of the premier cigar retailers in New Jersey, they provide a wide selection of handmade cigars imported from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua and other countries.
In mid-2022 it became apparent to the owners that they had to move to another location. The result was a larger space which allowed them to carry an even wider selection of cigars and provide more room for their customers and club members have to enjoy the camaraderie of lighting up in the custom lounge area with fellow cigar enthusiasts.
The new location at 322 Tilton Road has a walk-in humidor in excess of 350 square feet, enough room to significantly increase the variety of cigars they can offer. Additionally, they were able to create a smoking room which can comfortably hold 20 people.
For club members, they provide 24-hour access with professionally maintained lockers and recreational options which include darts and a pool table.
Smoker’s Haven looks forward to being a part of the Northfield community for years to come. With the purchasing power of their four other New Jersey locations in Monmouth and Middlesex counties, they can offer their customers new cigar blends as they come to market as well as the tried and true staples of the industry.

Atlantic Shoe Repair came to the rescue when The Bench Cobbler abandoned their store after many years at 2603 New Road, Northfield.
People were in a panic when they could not access their shoes that were in for repair. Fortunately, Lauren Favinger-Mills discovered this adverse situation and came in to reopen the shoe and leather repair business under her own name of Atlantic Shoe Repair and Leather Works.
She totally renovated it into a beautiful, bright open store where customers can see the entire operation.
Lauren comes from a multigenerational shoe repair service from Atlantic City dating back to the early 1900s in the Ducktown section. The store is breathing life into a dying trade in our area.
In addition to the shoe repair service, she also offers a wide range of customizable handmade leather goods and vintage-style embroidery.
Lauren is a true entrepreneur who not only has a fabulous new business, but she also has an online store and participates in many outdoor events offering her goods and services.

My SO just got a leather satchel repaired at Atlantic Shoe Repair. The folks could not have been nicer and the bag was repaired sooner than promised. Excellent resource as there are few places in the area that can repair leather goods.
