I needed to replenish my desktop humidor and I was on my home from a few errands when I came across this place.
It's not a lounge so don't even consider staying and asking for a drink to pair with your cigar though it would be nice to have one of those at this place.
But I'm not here to talk about what they don't have. Let's talk about what they do have which isn't much in terms of good selections.
It's about as basic as a humidor can get between stocking up on all the big names like Drew Estates, Ashton, My Father, Padron, Perdomos, Rocky Patel, and even the brand ATL Cigar Co which I'm a fan of as of late.
They don't carry Ligas, Sobremesas, or my personal favorite Foundation Cigars which kind of left me a bit disappointed since they had such a basic selection of the normal stuff everyone goes for.
I'm not a fan of how the guy working the counter that day pushed cigars that really weren't my style. He kept hounding me to check out the more higher end stuff when I was pretty much sold on the three that I was packing. In fact, I had to educate him on Foundation cigars in terms of general price point and such.
Don't get me wrong... it's a great stop and grab cigar joint. But I've kind of developed my pallette to be a certain type and no amount of pushing would get me to branch out unless I explicitly wanted to and well, Connecticut Broadleaf and escuro wrappers with Nicargauan binders and fillers are my style as I find those to have the deepest flavors that aren't the solid maduros which the guy that day kept pushing for me to grab.
So if you're looking for a quick fix, drop in, dawdle for a little bit, know what you want and leave. Don't give the guy at the counter an inch because he will push you towards some of the higher end sticks and if you know what you want, you get it. There is a difference between pushy and just recommending and this kat was PUSHY!!! read more
