Anybody out there has a favorite B&M in their area that has your business? Any unique ones you make the trip to from time to time for a special cigar that they have, or? Opinions/Feedbacks are more than welcome. Many thanks in advance if you reply to this post.
Fair Oaks Cigars, South Pasadena, CA. Great selection and prices, knowledgeable ownership, great inventory of accessories and nice folks in the place enjoying a smoke. And, a rarity for Southern California: you can park right next to the building and walk in.

Belicoso in Orland Park IL. Nice crowd. Knowledgeable staff. Fair prices and free espresso, pop, and water. Regular smoking events are nice with rollers making cigars on the spot. Not to mention free food and drinks. If you find yourself in the Chicago metro area you should give it a shot

Havana Dreams in Queens, NY.. and Reuben's Smoke Stack in Hackensack, NJ. Great group of people, and I cant stress that enough. They make you feel right at home like family and they sell boutique cigars. And they know their stuff! Like me they're all Tats, Illusione, Padron, & Trini (CC) fiends. It's always a plus when the people recommending new smokes for you has the same taste preferences.

When Im at school, Jons Pipe Shop in Champaign, IL. When Im home Jons Pipe Shop in Clayton, MO. They are owned independently now but both owners are good guys. The one in Champaign defies logic IMO incredible selection and of some higher end stuff like large orders of Opus X 4 times a year and its on a college campus in a relatively small town.

Belicoso Cafe in Wyandotte,MI. Nice selection and a decent bar. Second choice is a smoke shop in Riverview, Mi, Tobacco Town, very knowledgeable staff.

If you guys are ever in Baton Rouge or New Orleans you have to go to "Don Juan Cigar Company". They have 2 locations in New Orleans, actually they are in the suburbs. One is located in Metairie on Severn Avenue ,next to the Lakeside Mall, the other is on Gretna Blvd. in Belle Chasse. The most incredible selection/inventory you've ever seen. I think they have every brand available in the USA. They are owned by Imperial Trading Company, a huge cigarette distributor in south Louisiana....definitely worth the trip.
