So are you going to the havana dreams herf? care to convoy?M and D has a pretty nice looking cigar bar with a big locker system. they get a lot of $ for the locker rentals. Customers were complaining that their cigars were ruined. Bens bosses asked him to try to get it fixed. Ben called me, so i went over there to see what I could do. Basically, the humidification system was not working. I bought a hygrometer over to test the individual lockers. It was a joke. I was getting readings of about 40%. This was a combo of a suckass humidification system, and what looked like problems with the construction. So I gave Ben some ideas, and left a hygrometer, and a large Paradigm unit. The Paradigm was left to see if we could get an individual lockers humidity up a little bit. Ben asked how much $ that they owed me. I didnt charge for the visit, I just wanted to get paid for the 2 items that I left. Next, Ben is fired, and they tell him that they never asked for the stuff that I left. Ben asked them to mail the 2 items back, and they have ignored us. Not a lot of $, so its really not something I am losing sleep over. But for anybody who wants to have a smoke there, the owners are scum. If you buy a cigar there, you are nuts. Every display case that theyhad filled with cigars was not properly humidified. I am not talking about being a little picky with the humidity level, I am talking about having a display case at 45% humidity. These guys should not own a cigar bar.

Welcome to BOTL!Too bad about Churchill's. I've had more than my share of problems there too (bad cigars, poor service, being closed for a private party when I called that afternoon to make sure that they were open for a party of 6).
I'll second the good thoughts about Stogie's and Tales. One of my favorite places. Great, friendly owner. I get over there about once a month.
I'm going to try to get to Havana Dreams (80% right now). If I do go, I'll be bringing 2 friends. I also sent the info on to a friend who has a very extensive cigar e-mail list. Should bring in a few more.
