Default 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

RA Lusitanos



La China Ideales



And all that was left of an H.Upmann Noella



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

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.

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

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!
