I agree, I just don't know how many social cigar smokers around here. Hopefully more than I think.

I went down there to locate it and see if they were open. They weren't, but I saw a guy messing with a large cabinet humidor. He saw me and opened the door and invited me inside and showed me around. They have quite a bit of work left to do before opening and he said he hopes to open in 2 weeks. Going to sell cigars, pipes, tobacco and accessories. He has a private room in the back for members with humidified lockers included with membership.

After visiting for a while I went ahead and committed to a 1 year membership. He and his wife seem like genuinely nice down to earth folks and were very excited about the store.
