I stop by a place called stogies in south Florida. Decent prices on most stuff and it's a nice small place to hang out.

Here's my $hit list. AKA every B&M I've been to in TN. We don't know how to get a good shop with legitimate honest people.

Old Havana smoke shop in Cool springs is the worst - owner is a lying f**king leprechaun. Total scumbag, can't speak English worth a $hit.. uses a lot of fragments. Treats customers and employees like the $hit underneath his shoe. He reminds me of the penguin in Batman Returns.
Stoogies - No one here pays any attention to you period, they could care less. Bunch of clueless cashiers. Lounge sucks too.
Woodys smokes and brews - they lost their lounge, must be the old angry uninformative bastards that work there.

hey, bill - you need to drive just a bit further into nashville and check out uptown's. best selection in nashville, pretty friendly and informed staff. i thought i mentioned this to you once before...

In Ontario, this location is about 10min drive from the airport, Zafuto's Cigar Haven. Its by the Ontario Mills Mall on 990 ontario mills drive #E. Kim is the owner and is a great guy. You can smoke inside or out.

Tampa Humidor is my favorite. I wish I could get by there more often. Island Girl in Jacksonville is very nice as well.

The Tobacco Shop in Hartford Connecticut. The original was forced to close this year and was purchased by customers and moved to a new, bigger, better location with a fantastic lounge. The place has been in operation since the 1920s.

Outlaw Cigar Co. is by far the best B&M in the KC metro. Great selection of cigar, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and awesome monthly parties are just a few reasons. They have two locations each about 20 minutes from home. :tu

I have ordered cigars from them before, and the employees there at the time seemed cool. They let me reserve 2 boxes instead of one on a technicality :D

Racine & Laramie's in Old Town, San Diego. The owner, Jeff, is an awesome guy who rebuilt the store from ruins over 40 years ago and has been running it ever since. His son, Dave, is a walking cigar encyclopedia, and the employees know quite a bit about tobacco and tobacco accessories of all types.

The "lounge" isn't very large or exclusive, but the regulars are always glad to receive new friends into their midst, and are extremely welcoming. Prices are pretty good for California... either cheaper than most other places or within $.50 of them.

The store is made of dirt (authentic!) the pipe selection is decent, a great selection of pipe tobacco is there, and the humidor is pretty well stocked. Not as large or inclusive as some other places, but it carries some damn good sticks.

And on top of all that, they gave me a job. So yes, I'm a bit biased, BUT, I did come here to spend my money as a customer first, long before they ever gave me a job.

It's a shame you don't have a decent B&M near you.

He's not the only one... and I fully agree with his review of stogies... we have one here too, and the employees are stupid as hell. I have yet to meet one that has actually smoked a cigar.

Re: Your Favorite B&M and Why.

Another vote for Uptowns in Nashville near Green Hills. Great group of guys who work there, a small but comfortable lounge, great music, and most of all an excellent selection of sticks. The pipe and pipe tobacco selection is not what it used to be but the cigars make up for it.
