Your Favorite B&M and Why.

[Seasick Sailor]

Lets get a list going of member's favorite B&Ms. If you have more than one for any reason e.g. price, selection, or atmosphere list them all. Also let us know what town they're in.

Hopefully we can put together a nice collection of B&Ms around the country. You never know when you might find yourself in another city in need of a friendly place to smoke.

For me, I have 3.

1. Heights Cigar Lounge for proximity to home and atmosphere. Houston, TX
2. The Smoke Ring for selection, employee knowledge, and atmosphere. Webster, TX
3. Serious Cigars for proximity to my office. Houston, TX, Richmond Ave. location.

What are yours?

[Bill86]

None around my area. Therefore I vote to also make this a B&M DO NOT visit list. As it would serve the same purpose. I would also suggest listing better reasons then proximity to your house as it probably won't serve to anyone else.

Here's my $hit list. AKA every B&M I've been to in TN. We don't know how to get a good shop with legitimate honest people.

Old Havana smoke shop in Cool springs is the worst - owner is a lying f**king leprechaun. Total scumbag, can't speak English worth a $hit.. uses a lot of fragments. Treats customers and employees like the $hit underneath his shoe. He reminds me of the penguin in Batman Returns.
Stoogies - No one here pays any attention to you period, they could care less. Bunch of clueless cashiers. Lounge sucks too.
Woodys smokes and brews - they lost their lounge, must be the old angry uninformative bastards that work there.

[Ogre]

:banger Tampa Humidor :banger Great owner, awesome selection of cigars and beautiful lounge. Mike (owner) Runs a great B&M!!!!

[Seasick Sailor]

Thanks for the response, Bill.

It's a shame you don't have a decent B&M near you.

[Bill86]

Thanks for the response, Bill.

It's a shame you don't have a decent B&M near you.

I agree, wish I did. I like to smoke indoors as well. However luckily the bartenders at Dan McGuinness usually allow cigar smoking. It's nice to have bar service as the same time. I like it there.

[kelmac07]

Winstons Humidor in Midlothian, Virginia...Kevin the owner is down to earth, great atmosphere and he is a fellow Mets fan. Just wish it wasn't an hours drive away. Always well worth the visit though. :tu :tu

[Apoco]

Burns Tobacconist in Chattanooga, TN is fantastic. Love that place - both the selection and the staff.

[BryanB]

Empire Cigars in Raleigh. Great selection, great owner/staff, great place.

[Gophernut]

St Croix Cigars, Hudson, WI. Great staff, good selection of smokes, nice big comfy chairs, and reasonable prices.

[Ranger_B]

Mac I have heard great things about that shop can not wait to take a road trip up there to see it for myself.

Bryan I agree about empire. I love having to fly out of Raleigh just so I can stop in. Great selection and an excellent lounge area.

My favorite is Matchbox pipes and cigars. The old man who owns this place is honest and down to earth with great prices. The shop may not look like much and he may not be up on any of the boutique cigars but he keeps some great smokes in there all the time. Not to mention his weekly gathering for a group of regulars.

[fid]

Paul's Pipes in Flint, Mi. In business since 1928 and still owned by the same man. The antis hate people like Paul who smoke all their lives and live to a ripe old age; Paul turned 98 this year. Large selection of cigars, and many thousands of pipes on display on the sales floor. If you go, do not leave without seeing the pipe museum. Prices...it is what it is. Michigans tobacco tax is like 60% of whole sale so its hard to compete with alot of places. No lounge per se, but there is a smoking room with second hand chairs for the exclusive use of pipe club members and other welcome types. I only live twenty minutes away, so I am blessed to be able to go pretty frequently.

[KidRock]

Timothys in Bay City, MI. So big and so comfy! Great staff too!!!

[EricF]

I'd have to say Smoke Inn. Abe has 5 stores with friendly knowlegable staff and is the home of the Tat Anarchy. This is where the South Fl crew usually herfs! There is 1 franchise store that has a Beer & wine bar. Marc(Owner) does it real nice there!

Also like Corona San Lake, Alex the manager there is a really cool BOTL.... but Tampa Humidor is closer and Mike is an awesome owner... he really cares about ppl....

[smokepuff]

JR Cigar, knowledgeable staff, great selection, very helpful people.
Hill Cigar Co. same reason as above. both in the St. Louis area

HSB Tobacconist I would recommend avoiding this shop, unfriendly staff that don't have any
knowledge of cigars only the imported cigarettes.
They more interested in you buying the cigarettes than any of the cigars or pipe tobacco on that note, most of the cigars in their humidors had stuff on them that look like mold. :(

Burn Cigars in Burnsville, great atmosphere, good staff, good selection of cigars.

Grapevine Texas - Grapevine Cigar and Tobacco Club. Great selection and nice people.
Love the thread. I need some Cali and AZ stops please.

[LasciviousXXX]

I need some Cali and AZ stops please.

This (http://www.foxtobacco.com/) shop in Gilbert, AZ is my new favorite. One of the only cigar shops in the state that has a liquor license, a full bar and 14 different beers on tap :tu

Plus its right by my house so if you do visit I would be more than happy to meet up for a smoke and a cocktail.

[Sherlockholms]

The only B&M in my town. Smokers friendly, the owner is nice and knows everything about anything. They have a walk in humidor that is like walking into heaven, a small smoke lounge and carry pipes and pipe tobacco when I need it. All in all it is a good place to go, and the sticks there are in good shape. No mold or over humidified sticks.

[racerX]

Thanks for the AZ tip. I may be heading out there this month. I will shoot you a heads up if I do with an invite to join me via pm or the herf thread. Thanks again -it looks really nice.

[markem]

My fave place to smoke is here
http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp268/vstrommark/Stuff/00desDieuxreview5.jpg

Cigars are not sold here, but many are gifted. There is almost always something on the smoker and somewhat above average beverages for all and sundry.

But my Monday herfing is almost always done at The Mark cigar bar at the Shilo Inn on the boundary between Portland and Beaverton (9900 SW Canyon Road, Portland). Great BOTLs, food and a complete bar staffed by fine people as well as 11 good sized HD TVs.

Another Virginia vote for Winston's :noon

http://www.winstonshumidor.com/

I like that Kevin is very customer friendly and goes out of his way to handle requests or suggestions from his clients, including hosting special events like a "Chili Cookoff/Brew-a-Beer Weekend" and opening the store after-hours for poker nights. Plus he gets new sticks frequently, has decent prices, and is a great place to go for football during the winter.

Tower Pipes and Cigars. Mark (norcalmark) owns it, stand up dude and also my very good friend.

If it is 20 minutes or so from an airport it will be fair game. LAX, Orange, Ontario, SFO, and SanJose:l

There's one near the airport,SFO, I can't remember the name of it, T.G. went there. But there's also Knickerbockers cigars in Menlo Park. Nice indoor lounge, nice selection of cigars. Haven't been there since they rearranged the place though.

Near the San Jose Airport there's West Coast Cigars. Small "shack" type building but they have nice selection of cigars. The lounge is pretty small and usually full of regulars but they have outdoor seating.

[lilwing88]

My two top places in the Chicagoland area are Cigar King in Skokie, IL and The Humidor in Westmont, IL.

Both have decent prices, comfy lounges and friendly staff.

[icehog3]

I like Cigar King in Skokie as well, they just didn't have enough space on Saturdays to accomodate our group though. I like to try to get there once in a while on a weekday and get in a cigar and a nip with Reggie.

[T.G]

Humboldt Tobacco Company (http://www.humboldttobacco.com/)

I was there about a year ago with wavescrashing, Clay ("808") has been there more recently so he might be a better choice to contact about the place, but my impressions at the time were nice place, lots of room / multiple rooms. Couple of pool tables, big screen tv's in the various rooms, they serve beer and wine at very reasonable costs, like $2.50/bottle or something like that. Very friendly staff, no pressure whatsoever to buy anything. Selection is limited to major brands, you won't find Tatuaje, illusione or Viaje etc there, but the prices are very good, waves and I were thinking that they might have been below MSRP on some cigars. Their hours are a little limited though.

It's pretty close to SFO - two miles or so.

I'm with these guys on Tower Pipe & Cigar. No points against Mark for being Huy's friend...(I keed, I keed... ;))

I stop by a place called stogies in south Florida. Decent prices on most stuff and it's a nice small place to hang out.

hey, bill - you need to drive just a bit further into nashville and check out uptown's. best selection in nashville, pretty friendly and informed staff. i thought i mentioned this to you once before...

[Zeuceone]

If it is 20 minutes or so from an airport it will be fair game. LAX, Orange, Ontario, SFO, and SanJose:l

In Ontario, this location is about 10min drive from the airport, Zafuto's Cigar Haven. Its by the Ontario Mills Mall on 990 ontario mills drive #E. Kim is the owner and is a great guy. You can smoke inside or out.

[Smokin Gator]

Tampa Humidor is my favorite. I wish I could get by there more often. Island Girl in Jacksonville is very nice as well.

[CTshade]

The Tobacco Shop in Hartford Connecticut. The original was forced to close this year and was purchased by customers and moved to a new, bigger, better location with a fantastic lounge. The place has been in operation since the 1920s.

[Bax]

Burns Tobacconist in Chattanooga, TN is fantastic. Love that place - both the selection and the staff.

Yeah, all that and it's close:D

Outlaw Cigar Co. is by far the best B&M in the KC metro. Great selection of cigar, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and awesome monthly parties are just a few reasons. They have two locations each about 20 minutes from home. :tu

I have ordered cigars from them before, and the employees there at the time seemed cool. They let me reserve 2 boxes instead of one on a technicality :D

[SmokeyJoe]

Empire Cigars in Raleigh. Great selection, great owner/staff, great place.

Absolutely! :tu

[Azaelius]

Racine & Laramie's in Old Town, San Diego. The owner, Jeff, is an awesome guy who rebuilt the store from ruins over 40 years ago and has been running it ever since. His son, Dave, is a walking cigar encyclopedia, and the employees know quite a bit about tobacco and tobacco accessories of all types.

The "lounge" isn't very large or exclusive, but the regulars are always glad to receive new friends into their midst, and are extremely welcoming. Prices are pretty good for California... either cheaper than most other places or within $.50 of them.

The store is made of dirt (authentic!) the pipe selection is decent, a great selection of pipe tobacco is there, and the humidor is pretty well stocked. Not as large or inclusive as some other places, but it carries some damn good sticks.

And on top of all that, they gave me a job. So yes, I'm a bit biased, BUT, I did come here to spend my money as a customer first, long before they ever gave me a job.

:ss

[dwoodward]

Thanks for the response, Bill.

It's a shame you don't have a decent B&M near you.

He's not the only one... and I fully agree with his review of stogies... we have one here too, and the employees are stupid as hell. I have yet to meet one that has actually smoked a cigar.

[Davis]

Tampa Humidor is my favorite. I wish I could get by there more often. Island Girl in Jacksonville is very nice as well.

Awesome! This is good to know! Will have to check them out next time Im in that area.

[fatdog]

Another vote for Uptowns in Nashville near Green Hills. Great group of guys who work there, a small but comfortable lounge, great music, and most of all an excellent selection of sticks. The pipe and pipe tobacco selection is not what it used to be but the cigars make up for it.
Peace

Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe in Albany NY. And I'm not just saying that because I work there. I was a long time patron there before Scotty(the owner) Helped me out and gave me a job after I lost my other job. The selection is huge and growing every day (I actually have a say in that). The Staff is incredibly knowledgable. And the atmosphere is amazing. Great lounge. I actually go there when I don't have to work.

[Louistogies]

There's a Tinder box like a half an hour away. Not a place I stop by to much but better than anything else out here. In SD I like Liberty tobacco. And in AZ I like cigar king.

Don't worry- I got your back. Chalk up a vote from a non-employee.

For the stuff I'm interested in, you guys have a spectacular selection. And having so much in an area like the capital region means I actually get a crack at it from time to time. It's awesome being able to find a lot of lancero options, for example, without having to trawl NYC.

[chand]

Cigar-ette City, Newark, DE. Killer selection, reasonable prices, and Gary knows what his is doing. I've been really digging his Emilio line lately.

[Liquid Smoke]

Are there any good b&m's around the Asheville,NC area? I'm going with the family to biltmore tomorrow, and was wondering if any good ones are nearby. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

[cmitch]

The Cigar Room in Madison, AL is a great shop. They opened in March, their selection is still on the paltry side but their humidor has plenty of room to expand. Plus, their lounge is very relaxing and the people I've met there have been 100% class. The owner knows how to treat the customer as well. A stark contrast to the B&M closest to me, who could not care less if you came back or not and thinks they exist for you to serve them.

[Flounder]

My apartment. Good, varied cigar selection. The lounge is a balcony about 160' up in the city center and the staff is pretty decent. Free espresso/coffee/soda/pellegrino. Great hours and non-exclusive... all are welcome. :D

My favorite as well. Hopefully swinging through there sometime in the next week.

[Duke9192]

I'm very lucky, that I have one of the best (IMO) local tobacconist in Tennessee. Burns Tobacconist is great. They've got a great selection and Matt, Jason, & Charlie are all Certified Tobacconists. Let's just say they're in the know. It's a awesome place to go hang out, smoke a few cigars with friends, and kill an afternoon or evening. The best thing about Burns is 1) if you want it, they've probably got it. 2) if they don't...they'll get it for you.
In just a word...... AWESOME!

[CigarDoc]

There is a Tinderbox in Myrtle Beach that I like going to. It's on the waterfront where all the shops and resteraunts are, so the wife doesn't complain when we go down. She can shop for, well, whatever women shop for, and I can grab a couple decent sticks. They always have a damn good selection (I think that because of the "touristy" location, not too many true BOTL's go in there often, so I can always find what I'm looking for. They almost always have an Opus X or 2, and their Davidoff line is pretty complete. They keep most of what I smoke in stock all the time. I've never had an issue finding something that I like while I'm there. They give a military discount for us, too. Down side to that is it's almost 2 hours away from my house. The cigar shop in the mall, Ansteads, is okay. But the lines they carry tend to fluctuate alot, so if I find a stick I want on a regular basis, I make sure to get as many as I can so I don't have to worry about it being out of stock. They email me when Opus and Anejo's are in, so I always know ahead of time. The guy who owns it, Wayne, is a super nice guy and has always been knowledgable about his stock. Plus they have a cool repeat customer card. For every $20 you spend, you get a punch out on your card, once you have 10 punches, they give you $20 off. The B&M up in Raleigh that some others have mentioned is gonna be one of my first stops when I get back.

[Jasonw560]

Club Humidor in San Antonio. Every store I have been to, they have been friendly and knowledgable.

Around me, the only one I know of is 35 miles away. (a true B&M). It's decent, but I know more than the kids who work there. We have a liquor store down the road that boasts a well-stocked humidor. I have to do some recon on this later. Maybe next week.

[Ken]

[designwise1]

Just For Him in Springfield, MO. It is relatively close to me, you can still smoke inside, they still carry nasal snuff (until they run out), very knowledgeable about pipe tobaccos, nice variety in their walk-in humi...

[Blak Smyth]

I found a small place in Allentown that has a decent selection, so much better than some of the other choices around here. The owner is more concerned with his personal convenience than the customers needs though, I asked if he had any Tats and he said he used to carry them but the sales rep stopped coming by, he said "I don't chase vendors". Made me think you don't chase venders and you chase away customers.
They have some Opus X on hand as well as alot of other Fuentes. They have the 601 blue, next time I am going to try the Illusions (not sure the spelling). It has a cozy little lounge too.

So this place is my favorite currently, however it is not perfect.

Another local place with a less quality selection is located in a local mall. If you become a member (About $300/year) You get 10% off cigars and a key to access the lounge 24/7 BYOB. That is an intriguing concept to me.

[Krish the Fish]

Montecristo Lounge in Columbus is the newest and best B&M around. great sized lounge, huge selection (owned by the same people that own the House of Cigar which boasts the largest walk-in in the state), and friendly and accommodating people. There are two caveats: they do hookah smoking in the lounge, and the only rule they have is that there is no cash on the poker table.

The Tinder Box at Easton Town Center (a mall in Columbus) used to be my favorite B&M because of the atmosphere there. The people that work there are really cool, and the other regulars (because I was a regular) were a fantastic group of guys to hang out with. Unfortunately, the owner wasn't keen on customer input (understandably), and the air conditioning & smoke eater were broken more than they were fixed, so the combination of the two drove all the regulars to seek shelter at the Montecristo Lounge.

Don't have many B&M's here in WA. I usually go to J&J in Seattle the most.

I think the smoking ban hurt the idea of people opening more B&Ms.

Digna Polanco (D.P.) in New York City. HAND ROLLED ONLY. He will custom roll a smoke while you wait. They treat you like Royalty. I bought a GREAT Churchill today for $4.50. Can't beat the quality for the price.
