Founded in 1976 by Ralph and Mary Ann Williams, and lovingly named in honor of Mary Ann, M.A.’s Smoke House holds the esteemed title of the oldest independent tobacco retailer in Louisiana. As one of Northwest Louisiana’s very first tobacconists, the Williams family set the uncompromising standard for premium pipe tobacco and fine pipes. This legacy was carried forward by their son, Buddy, who expanded the offerings in the 1980s to include a carefully curated selection of premium cigars.

Today, M.A.’s honors this rich history by providing both tradition and modern comfort to cigar enthusiasts at its two welcoming destinations in Shreveport and Bossier City, LA.
