Anyone been to Amra's in Raleigh? Also, cigar bars in general

I keep hearing good things about this new cigar bar, especially since my favorite "home base" B&M (Empire Cigars) partnered with them. They're hosting a scotch and cigar tasting flight on Thursday that looks pretty tempting. But so far I haven't made the time to actually go there, or really to any cigar bar for the last several years. I don't tend to like the "bar atmosphere" so experiences were somewhat mixed when I did get dragged to cigar bars by my herfing buddies.

Anyone been to Amra's and care to venture a review? Or your opinion of smoking at cigar bars in general? Most of the humidors I've seen in cigar bars are a) overpriced and b) dubiously maintained, which would obviously not be the case at Amra's since Empire got on board with them and took over that responsibility. But are they fun to smoke in? What do y'all think?
