I walked into LikWid with a smile under my mask. I was thinking about getting a big bowled bong…read morebecause I ran out of rolled joints and didn't feel like rolling em down near the river where I was heading. I browsed a display shelf of large bongs while waiting for the gentleman behind the counter to finish with a couple at the register. Beside the row of bongs was a T-Shirt that intrigued me. It featured in bold face letters: DEFEND NEW PALTZ and a picture of what I believed to be an automatic assault weapon under it. What message was I missing? The shirt made no sense to me. The counter man was ready for me. I pointed out the bong of my choosing. He carried it over to register. As I was reaching in to get my credit card, I casually asked him the meaning of the shirt. "I made that shirt" he announced with pride. I chuckled and said that I lucked out because he was the right guy to answer my question. What does the shirt mean? He mumbled something from under his mask that I couldn't make out. My ears have 72 years of hard rockin mileage on em, but I had a bad feeling about this guy and not wanting to patronize an establishment that sold merchandise promoting citizen militia or individual use of such weaponry. AND IN HIPPY DIPPY LOVE AND PEACE NEW PALTZ OF ALL PLACES. returned my credit card to my wallet and informed the gentleman that I had changed my mind and walked without further comment to the door. I do not recall the exact chain of events that unfolded over the next 20 -30 seconds. But I remember his summoning me back into the store and questioning me about why I chose not to do business in his establishment. In short order, things got heated. He threatened to "knock me unconscious" so we stepped outside where we exchanged parting expletives right there on Main Street. When I got back to the car, my wife who had been waiting patiently asked why I was so flustered. I told her what I just told you. Stopped at the next gas station and picked up $5 pipe, took it to Miniwaska and forgot as best I could about my LikWid experience. But mine is a troubled peace.

This place is your typical tobacco shop with all your possible tobacco needs. I was able to find several premium cigars being sold here and it seemed like they were being taken care of for the most part. They did have some expensive sticks here but I'm not sure I'd buy an expensive stick in a shop like this that does not specialize in specifically cigars. Any cigar snob will immediately notice how this shop stores both flavored cigars and regular cigars in the same cabinet/humidor which is a no-no. Overall this is simply a really good tobacco shop.

I had no issue finding something I was excited to smoke. The prices are high, but comparable to other NY shops (NY's tobacco taxes are insane). The lounge is really nice if you are staying to smoke your cigar there. Overall, this was a great find. If it wasn't so far for me I'd happily go back anytime.

Roy and Jim answered all my questions. They recommended several cigars at several price points, I'd purchase each again. The large walk-in humidor is nicely organized and has options for every taste, at every price point. And the lounge! A friendly, inviting lounge to enjoy your cigar and converse. Glasses and ice are available to facilitate your BYOB needs. For any teetotalers, soda/juice/coffee is available as well. Comfortable leather chairs, "rustic" furnishings and an always lit fireplace make it easy to stay for hours. Temperature/humidity controlled lockers are available to rent as well. I'll definitely be coming here regularly. You should too!

"Holy Cosmic Tobacco Batman!…read more If you are a chronic smoker and live in NYS then you know it's probably cheaper to smoke weed on the regular than buy a pack of cigarettes. But if you're lucky like me to live within close proximity to the state border of lovely Pennsylvania then this Tobacco spot is the bomb! They literally sell cartons of cigarettes at state minimum prices and being only 15-20 mins from home this is the perfect spot to buy smokes. Pricing compared to NYS is massively different that making this trip is totally worth it but I will say it feels strange having to go out of my way for smokes. I almost feel like I'm making my way down the highway to meet a drug dealer. In this case the drug dealer is the sweet lovely and faceless nicotine who calms the shakes of the nicotine addiction. If you live in NYS, are addicted to that sweet nicotine aroma and are within 30 mins of this store you need to jump in your car right now to visit this place!

This place is THE BOMB!…read more I've been coming here on and off for a few years now and the place is absolutely always amazing. The regulars here treat you like you're practically family. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and just truly great people. If you ever thought for a moment that humanity has lost it's humanity then step into this place and grab a handshake or a hug even if you don't smoke cigars because the men and women that frequent this business are truly angels on earth, so freaking nice! Carlito has since upgraded the walk in humidor to a mega size that has to be three times the size he originally started with so the selection of smokes available has literally tripled. If you like to experiment to find that new great smoke, let's just say the variety is so vast that if you smoke one cigar per day at this place it would probably take you almost a year to get thru all the options. Seating is plentiful but I don't think more than say 25 people can sit in this place but heck it's so welcoming that if I had to stand I'd be cool standing and shooting the shit with the fellas. I'm certainly going to try and stop in more often.
