Bigfoot’s Guide to Surviving a Rainy, Chilly Weekend in Helen, GA
Howdy, humans! Bigfoot Dave here – proud owner of Bigfoot Novelty & Tobacco, the undisputed (and only) Sasquatch-run cigar and vape shop in Helen, Georgia.
Now, I know what you’re thinkin’ – rainy, cold weekend in Helen in August… Sounds like a buzzkill. But let me tell ya, that’s when this little Bavarian mountain town really shines. I’ve been stomping around these woods for a few centuries, so trust me when I say: you’re in for a cozy, legendary good time. Here’s how to make the most of it…
Start Warm and Toasty
First stop? Jumpstart your day with a piping hot coffee from one of Helen’s quaint cafés. The smell of roasted beans and baked goods drifting through the foggy streets is enough to make even a Sasquatch do a happy dance. Pro tip: Bavarian pastries + drizzle outside = instant fairytale vibes.
Wander the Covered Shops
Rain doesn’t stop adventure in Helen. The downtown Bavarian-style shops are perfect for ducking in and out while staying mostly dry. You’ll find everything from handmade fudge to old-world trinkets. My buddy Hans at the candy shop swears he’s seen me buying chocolate-covered pretzels—but that’s just a rumor.

Cozy Eats with a View
Chilly weather calls for German comfort food. Slide into a booth at one of Helen’s many breweries or beer gardens for bratwursts, hot pretzels, and a frothy stein of beer. (If you spot a large, hairy fellow ordering double schnitzels… yeah, that’s probably me.)
Warm Up with Bigfoot’s Secret Weapon
Now, here’s the move that locals know: swing by Bigfoot Novelty & Tobacco. When the rain’s tapping on the tin roof and the mountain fog rolls in, there’s nothing better than:
A fine, hand-rolled cigar to puff while watching the mist crawl over the Chattahoochee.
A smooth THC mocktail to take the edge off the chill.
A fresh new vape flavor that tastes like caramel apples (my fall favorite).
I even keep the shop extra warm and dry—cozy enough for humans and bigfoots alike.
Live Music & Fireside Fun
Even on a rainy night, Helen comes alive with live Appalachian and German folk tunes. Some spots have crackling fireplaces where you can sip on something warm and watch the rain streak down the windows. That’s peak mountain magic right there.
End the Night the Bigfoot Way
If you’re like me and prefer some fresh mountain air, grab one of our premium cigars or Delta-infused goodies, find a sheltered spot along the river, and listen to the rain on the leaves. It’s quiet, peaceful, and you just might spot me wandering by… unless you blink.
Final Word from the Big Guy
Rainy weekends in Helen aren’t something to avoid—they’re the hidden gems of the North Georgia mountains. Come see me at Bigfoot Novelty & Tobacco, grab a little something to warm your spirits, and make your mountain getaway unforgettable… even if you leave with giant footprints following you home.
