A Great Place to Smoke
 

Hey CA Fam!

I have finally, FINALLY, found a great B&M in my area to smoke. The AZ Crew, well..... we don't get together often, even though we have quite a few members in the area. Most times I'm relegated to smoking by myself at my house or occasionally at the pool of a buddy's house. Many of the B&M's near me are small and not especially inviting. I usually take my own sticks to smoke when going to a B&M (I always buy one from the shop as well though, manners and all..) so I'm not really going for their selection of cigars.

Well finally a shop has opened literally a mile away from my house. And, unlike 98% of all cigar bars in AZ, they have their liquor license!!! Yes, you heard right, you can enjoy a beer (on tap) or a nice cocktail with your smoke. I know this may be old hat to some but its a novelty to me in this state. There are barely ANY places left in AZ where you can smoke and drink and the same time, in fact I only know of 2. Anyway, they have an amazing bar with more than 15 different types of Vodka, 20 types of Scotch and 12 beers on tap. This is a cigar shop! I was in heaven the first time I stepped foot in it. In fact, here's a pic

I'm really going to have to take a pic of the bar itself as it is quite size-able for a cigar shop.

I went to the shop yesterday and pretty much spent all day there. I hadn't had a one man HERF in awhile so I thought I would play catch up

It was a great time and I got to watch the Hockey game as well, which was icing on the cake. I just thought I'd share my good fortune with my CA Fam as I couldn't be more excited. So if anyone is in the area, I know a great place we can go smoke :tu

I'm soooo... jealous, here in the people's republik of Ontario we can't smoke indoors....:rolleyes:
Heck they won't even let us stand 'too' close to a door:r
Great find, Enjoy !

Cigar Frogs in West Texas! A little bit of Austin in the West Texas area! Way cool!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Yeah Darryl its getting to be like that here as well. The only places that are exempt in AZ are the B&M's or any place that makes over 50% of its revenue through the sale of tobacco.


???
:confused:

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Sounds amazing!! Great find!!:banger

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Glad to hear it!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

I think the thread title was interpreted to be "post a great place to smoke". It is obvious your post wasn't read.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

What? A place to call "home"? I am in PHX also. Where is this place that is close to your house, I hope close to mine?

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Looks like you found yourself a winner. Enjoy!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

:sl:sl

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Hey XXX

I may have to get the address from you next time I am in Phoenix.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Nice find Týr! Remember to go home to your wife once in awhile :)

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Congrats, Tyr!:tu I Have To Drive 60Mi. To Find A Cigar Bar Where I Can Smoke & Drink!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Sounds like you found an amazing place Tyr!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

It really is awesome guys!

Dave, I actually live in the East Valley. The shop is in Gilbert @ the north east corner of Val Vista/Williams Field. Fox Cigar Bar The website has some good pics of the bar itself as well :cool:

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

I am quite jealous. Here in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota, the Nannies have pretty much made your experience nearly impossible.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Excellent! Sounds like the perfect place to hang out, Týr.

Enjoy!! :ss

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Agreed, but across the river in Hudson, you can bring your own, as long as your not too crazy about it.

I had a RA Lusitanos the other day. Very nice! Glad to see you have somewhere to smoke and enjoy a nice beverage!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

I checked out the slider images on their homepage. WOW, great find Tyr!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

I will have to meet you out there sometime. I am no good at organizing things but I would love to smoke with some AZ BOTL.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Very nice looking place. Great find.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Sounds good Kirk :tu

I'm game most days hehehe

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Kirk -- just remember Týr looks just like his creepy avatar :)

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

..... only naked :cool:

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Great smoking with you today! That place is awesome!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

You too bro! And thank you for the cigars as well :tu

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

After Tyr posted this place under the other favorite B&M thread I had to go check it out. It defiantly deserves its own tread. It is so nice. One thing the pictures don't tell is how cool Paul the owner is. Great guy. If you are ever in Phoenix this place is worth the short drive. Great cigars, Great beer and great people. We should all be so lucky to have one near us.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Love this place!!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Anyone like F1?? Was thinking, the race next week is on at Noon, figured I would head out to the FCB and watch the race and enjoy a smoke.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

What??? No call??? Bastage! LOL

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

You lucky sob :D

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

The wife and I went out for a quick smoke. ;s It was a 'day date' ;)

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Hehe, I totally understand brother! Family first :tu

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

The wife and I are gonna be at the Fox Friday around 1PM if anyone wants to join us!

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

If I become a member at the local B&M I can have 24 hour access to their smoking lounge. BYOB too. If I had more people to go with I would consider it. Who doesn't want a backdoor key to a B&M?


It does look like you found a great place there Tyr.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

I wish I could make it with you guys Kirk :tu

Have one for me.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

I thought you said "For better or worse, Sickness or Health"

I really thought we had something....:(:(:(

Re: A Great Place to Smoke

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

hi! i'm jealous!! in cali...we can't smoke inside restaurants and some cigar shops..basically nowhere... i smoke at home and sometimes to three places, but overall.. it's hard to find places.. sometimes it sucks to live in cali...

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Anyone interested in meeting at the fox today or tomorrow

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

I have to say, they do appear to have a great selection of sticks there!:D;)

Glad you found a place so close to home!!!:tu

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
 

Going to be at the Fox Friday (tomorrow) at around noon if anyone wants to meet up and smoke.

Re: A Great Place to Smoke
