Davidus was a great shop. We went there first and found they had a nice selection, and very fair prices. He had a few sticks I had been looking to find, but didn't carry but 2-3 Illusione cigars, and nothing from Tatuaje or LFD. The lounge area looked really nice, but was a bit small-also noticed it wasn't in use at all! I picked up the rest of their Dirty Rats, and a handful of small smokes for my girl.
Next we hit a shop my buddy had found near his house-Tobacco Center. It was a really interesting setup. You walk in and it's all setup as a hooka bar. Walk through a GIANT section that's like it was the dining area of a restaurant-with several TV's. Then they have a small kitchen, and a humidor in the back. The humi had very reasonable prices. A handful of each of the main boutique brands and even had some Anejo's in stock.
Then we went to Humidour. I've been there before and knew of their selection. I'm still on the fence on that place. They refused to swap out my broken Xikar lighter. I thought those were supposed to be replaced on the spot? The guy that went into the humidor with me was VERY pushy. He showed me what was new, and was getting all excited that I wasn't making a decision fast enough for him. I asked about a few specific cigars, and was told they didn't have them. I quickly found them on my own! Again, very solid prices, and we were invited to stay and watch the MNF game, and he made sure we dug into the free food that was available. Some prices were higher than other shops, others were lower-all were within $0.50 per stick.
and he gave us a tour of the upstairs so that was cool. I had to try hard not to laugh out loud either at you and your shenanigans. But I'm with you on the Xikar deal, that kind of made me go wha? that seems odd.
