By far the least pretentious cigar bar I've ever seen. It is really a place for people who enjoy a fine smoke and don't want to be surrounded by social climbers attempting to look cool. Besides, the...

Some patrons may not like it when the wives smoke clove cigarettes, and in fact may be rather obnoxious about it. The charges for bringing your own wine are not very reasonable. We do not recommend...

Unfortunately this spot has been affected by the smoking ban law and no longer offers the luxury of smoking a cigar indoors. You can buy the cigar but you cannot smoke it inside.

This is the place where my colleagues and I go when we want to smoke a good cigar among some great people. Never have the staff nor the clientele made us feel unwelcome or beneath them.
