Default New Cigar Lounge in the French Quarter

Took a walk around the French Quarter (in New Orleans) with my daughters today and came across a new establishment named Havana Dreams at 1101 Decatur St (not too far from Margaritaville). It's a cigar lounge.

They didn't have a huge stock of cigars, in fact what they had was the two walls lined with shelves that were sort of sparsely stocked with a varied selection of smokes. They had some Patel's, at least 6 boxes of 601's, some of the Drew Estates lines and a bunch of brand's I'm not familiar with. All of these were just sitting on the shelves. There were also several humidors sitting on the counter with some premium smokes in them - including about a half of box of the small Opus X.

The place had several couches and nice chairs as well as a couple of tables with chess sets. I didn't see any beverages for sale but, hey!, this is New Orleans. Just go next door to the bar and bring your own in. It looks like it would be a nice place to kill a couple of hours relaxing with a cigar.

I think the guy I talked to is Alex Fleming who's card says he's the store manager. He said they have only been open for about 5 months. Fleming said he used to work for General Cigar.

I picked up a couple of figurados from him to smoke later but I didn't write the brand name down. He said they are from a new company that was formed by a couple or rollers who used to work for Pepin. I've emailed him to get the brand name.
