On my recent visit, sticks ranged from $10-$30 depending on size--about what I pay at lounges for brands like Padrón, AJ Fernandez, and Plasencia. I still enjoy Portes cigars and picked up a bundle of 25 Corona Petites for $200, but I really wanted Toros and they were just too expensive. Please consider bringing prices back to a more reasonable range so more people can enjoy them. I'd happily buy a bundle a month if they were. Good luck, and I hope to see more accessible pricing soon.

Located at the Arthur Ave. Market, ND takes up almost the front section of this market. The owner(?) was super friendly and explained his cigars. The selections and prices are varied and straightforward. Hubs decided on just 5 of the Churchill Brazilian Maduro @ $11ea and liked the quality on these. Trendy place it isn't, but the owner will hook you up and explain any deets.

The Host, Albert recommended some nice cigars that so far I'm enjoying, so you can trust his palette. For Lounge prices for the selection this spot wins for the best prices.

The lounge is beautiful with plenty of seating and the owner Johnathan is super friendly and polite. As soon as I walked in he introduced himself and brought me into the humidor...he asked me what kind of smoke I preferred and in the end we settled on their privilege cigar house blend in a barber pole lancero. I paid for the cigar and Johnathan snipped off the perfect amount of the cigar and invited me to sit down with the group he had been talking with. They introduced themselves and we super friendly despite it being my first time there. The cigar was excellent and had a razor sharp burn and strong ash from the initial light till the last draw. Johnathan's mother also stopped by during the night and provided food free of charge !! I will definitely be stopping by this lounge many times in the future

The gentleman was not originally (technically) rude but was not really listening to anything I was saying as I would tell him: "No thank you." as I was trying to browse his 8-10 box humidor as best I could. Virtually every cigar I was inspecting was either rock hard or mushy in various spots. None of these signs point to cigars that are properly cared for. I did not see any type of humidification and the temperature and space was basically that of a closet with the door wide open. When I asked what he was using to humidify these cigars he told me they don't need it... O_o He then tried to explain to me that a Cohiba Red Dot was a Cuban cigar... I asked him: "Do you know anything about cigars?" He responded: "Not really." He was only going on what he's been told. I took a moment to explain and he seemed receptive but when he tried to sell me those cigars again --- $20 a stick for Cohiba Red Dot...hard as rocks mind you. He got irritated with me when I said no thank you and I just politely took my leave. This is not a place to buy cigars.
