I saw El Humidor on the way to the casino and decided to stop in.
From the outside, this place looks very promising. The show room was sparse with maybe a total of 7 tins of pipe tobacco and 3 jars of "in-house blend". They have a nice size walk in humidor with what appears to be a pretty good selection, although I did not go inside. They also have a nice smoking lounge.
The counter person, who I interrupted his leisurely cigar, treated me as though I were an imposition. Although he may have been knowledgeable about cigars, his lack of knowledge of pipe tobacco was very apparent.
Out of courtesy and in support of brick-and-mortar stores, I routinely buy at least something while I'm there. I picked up a ton of Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake at the exorbitant price of $18 for 50g...
Needless to say I will not be patronizing this store in the future!
The only reason for the two stars, it's next to a Dickeys' Barbecue! read more
