SELLS FAKE CIGARS AND THREATENS ME IF I EXPOSE THEM. Earlier in July. I have bought some Cohiba…read more2004 Sublimes from this shop. Owner wanted cash and no receipts was given (owner avoiding tax probs). Total amount of 18400CHF for two box. Owner's wife checked the cigar with me "CAN BE SEEN ON THE PHOTO ATTACHED" (I'm not a cigar specialist so I don't know how to distinguish between fakes). She claims she has been in the business for 20 years and they haven't sold a single fake in their life. Trusted her and came home with the cigar. However, when I compared this with my other box of Sublimes (bought from LCDH when it first released) the band and box was completely off. The Cohiba band was cut uneven and the EL band is flat (should be embossed) So I took it to multiple LCDH and big cigar shops in Switzerland and Germany. All has given the conclusion that these two boxes I bought from house of smoke was fake. I emailed the owner and as the emails says he threatens to claim compensation from me if I expose them. I have bought some cigars from them before so I didn't want things to get serious so I stayed calm and tried to find a solution for this. After multiple email and phone exchange they finally agreed to return these two box. However, when I ask for an explanation and compensation for 18400CHF of fake cigars. The owner replied "Then we leave as how it is and go claim your customer rights". No apologies or explanation were given. I am writing this review to warn those who wishes to purchase from this shop in the future. This is a shop who sells fake and doesn't give a crap about your customer rights. There is a comparison on the photo bellow between real sublimes and fake ones bought from this House of Smoke Basel.

I…read moreobviously applaude the vision and efforts but I find the interior design and clothes a bit bland and boring in colours, patterns and style (autumn 2016). It didn't give me any shopping urges (which granted, to not buy anything at all is the ultimate sustainable choice...) alas. The shop interior reminded me a lot about the ETC-shops in Stockholm, not all organic shops however unlike Zündstoff they're usually good at colourful window displays, colours and patterns that wet your shopping appetite. Also the hipster shop clerk did a good job ignoring the few possible customers browsing the clothes - really, a friendly welcome and offer to help if wanted would have been nice. Or rather, basic customer service. Oh, I really wanted to love the shop, because of its vision and concept, but unfortunately it left me rather disappointed.

On 4th floor, you can find some Switzerland souvenirs and cute accessories/toys. On basement level, there are salad bar and bakery and supermarket.

Manor is a department store of similar style/quality as Macy's (USA) or John Lewis (UK) BUT in the basement there is a grocery store/food hall that is simply amazing!! What's most amazing is it really can be your everyday place to shop - but in addition to your onions, potatoes, juice, milk, flour, cleaning supplies..... there is also an astounding selection of cheeses, meats, poultry, fish, fresh bakery for breads and cakes and a small café with pizzas, salads, stir-fry's (a bigger café is on the top floor). There is a good selection of organic produce (labelled BIO), and most of the fruit and veg are local and very seasonal. In the US and UK I got used to having access to pretty much anything at any time of the year, so the seasonality was a bit strange at first but now I look forward to changes in produce as the year progresses. Besides the cheese.... I mean food, there is a good selection of accessories (I LOVE tights and nearly passed out when I saw the selection), clothing for all the family, beautiful home goods, and a good selection of electronics. Prices are, well, Swiss but overall its not too bad and twice a year (Jan and July) there are really good sales. Maybe being within walking distance wasn't such a good idea..... ;-)
