Perhaps I don't realize what I need but is there a lens that would allow me to do close-up (macro) shots and be closer?

I want to use this for my cigar blog so I can take pictures of cigars, pens, whiskey and such.
Why are you feeling you want a macro shot? You should still get nice Depth of Field using that lens from a distance.
