California taxes are still quite high on cigars, 34%. Casa Belicoso in Walnut Creek is nice, West Coast Cigars in San Jose, Knickerbockers in Menlo Park. Grants in SF is nice but expensive.

Also in the SF area is Humboldt Tobacco. Very relaxing place to stop into, not like some shops & lounges where there's just this air of uptightness. They have tons of space, they have 4 or 5 lounge areas in there, they serve beer and wine ($3.75/bottle of Anchor Steam, figure the rest are about the same), staff is very easygoing and laid back, prices are MSRP or less, selection is a bit limited and unfortunately, their hours aren't the greatest.

There's also Stoies Stogies in SF at Fisherman's Wharf. Nice place.

Currently shootin pm's back and forth with Mario trying to figure something out. Sadly we are renting a car and I can 22 and you must be 25 to drive it... So back to high school days for me "hi mom, can you drop me off and pick me up from the tobacccy store?". Hopefully we can figure something out I'd love to meet you guys and have one or three or four? Smoke with you all.

I'll be back tomorrow and we are staying in Pleasanton for two nights then I wanna say my mom said a night in Sunnyvale after that. Then down to LA.


P.s. Go giants!! Way to sweep LA!

Edit: completely forgot about the Bart! I could hop on the Bart also from Pleasanton down to San Jose or wherever all you crazy babotls are at. I believe the Bart runs from pleasanton to San Jose.

Knickerbocker's in Menlo Park is about 10 minutes from Sunnyvale. Maybe Mario can pick you up! LMK I can probably make it down for a few smokes.

How would these places feel about me possibly bringing some drink for us?

My car makes it to Knickerbockers with little difficulty. I can do this.

I know knickerbockers used to be great about patrons bringing their own drinks and one could even order from the bar next door and have it brought over. I think the city had come down on them fairly hard for it though recently.

Mean D would know better but I think West Coast is okay with patrons bringing in drinks still though.
