I rarely hammer a place on a review but if I could give this place ZERO stars I would…read more I'm from Florida and have been in Iowa freezing my nuts off for over a week. On top of that I've been craving the opportunity to sit down for a decent smoke in a warm place. Today, I had just just enough time for a smoke and maybe getting some admin work done. Found this place online and asked a co-worker to drop me off and pick me up later. Luckily I asked my co-worker to wait until I could take a look inside to see if there was some place to sit (based on the pictures I saw online there appeared to be a lounge area). As soon as I got out of the car I noticed that they had a separate entrance for members. I still walked in to see if there was a place to sit on the other side. As I walked in I saw a high top table close to the register and asked the guy behind the counter if I could sit at that table if I bought a cigar. The guy flat out just said no. Bro, it's not like you even had people in there trying to buy sticks! The nicest thing I could get out my mouth was "forget it then." Guess who has friends who enjoy cigars. Guess where those guys will be again in a few weeks. Guess where none of those guys will be spending any money.

And if that weren't bad enough, they sold the store to somebody that does not know anything about vapes or tobacco of any sort. The new owners are rude, ignorant to the business they bought and impatient with customers. My shadow will never darken their door again. Another good, American, neighborhood business, down the drain. If I could leave zero stars, I certainly would.

Because I didn't want to pet their dog, the guy got an attitude and said it's posted on the door. Off course they lost a sale because of the pit running up on customers and the smart mouthed clerk.
