Any Texas B&M owners/operators out there?

[ThankfulJoe]

Just curious if we have any within our ranks. I'm looking to at least partially fill my currently empty 200ct which was unfortunately decimated in a terrible humi gel accident on the way back from Iraq. Thankfully I had all my limited/htf in a 25ct crushproof herf with just bovida, but somehow the large humi got tossed and turned so much in the mail system that the jar I had in it cracked and spilled gel all over everything. It spent about a month like this. I literally wanted to cry when I opened it.

Any suggestions on good B&M between Dallas and San Antonio? Preferably somewhere near central Texas (Waco) or San Antonio as I have family down there as well.

I know the best prices are to be had online but I wouldn't mind supporting the business of a fellow brother. I'm looking to buy a box or two of my regulars for now. If nothing else I'll also take websites as suggestions. I've bought from New Havana on more than one occasion and was extremely pleased with their shipping methods and product. CI a few times also in Iraq, wasn't as impressed but they definitely got the job done.

If you're going through Austin there is Heroes and Legacies up north austin, and habana house at ruta maya coffee shop downtown on Congress.

I own a shop in McKinney (northern sub of Dallas ). I'll PM you the info. We're always glad to see a fellow brother.

Ultimate Cigar in Addison, Two Brothers in Plano, Cigar Warehouse in Plano, Havana Jim's in Allen.

Heard good things about Pipe World in Round Rock as well as Heroes & Legacies.

Michigan Dave up above is solid folks, of the request listed he is the only owner that has stepped up to the question, fwiw.

 

[ThankfulJoe]

Thanks for the responses guys! I'll be sure and check out all of these ASAP! Dave sent me a PM with some grand opening info also. I unfortunately won't be able to make it to the new shop's opening day but I'll be sure and make it up to DFW to visit a good friend of mine as soon as I get home from Colorado, and your shop will be one of the first stops I make.

Pipe World in Round Rock (right on IH-35) has a great selection and good prices. They keep Tats in stock (nothing HTF) and always have Opus, a full Fuente line, full LFD line, and tons of other stuff available.

If you are down this way, hit me up and I'll meet up and smoke one with you.

So where are you actually located? There is a nice shop out in McGregor (outside of Waco) that is called Tobacco Junction. Not a huge selection, but it is a nice lounge. HUGE.

Lemme know and I can help you out.

Edit: Just saw you were in Belton. Man, you are only like 15-20 mins from Tobacco Junction. Probably 45 mins from Pipe World in Round Rock. I am in Georgetown if you ever head this way.

Well, we can't be having that, now can we? Short answer to your question: I don't know your area terribly well, but there's a ton of great B&Ms up here in DFW; my fav is Town & Country in Euless. Amazing selection, great staff, adult beverages, live music...what's not to like? I have a locker there.

Slightly longer answer: If you get up this way let me know, and you can come shop in my locker; I need more room for all these @#$%% Tat LE's, anyway. Or let me know a snail mail address and what you like, and I'll contribute to the refilling process that way ... Lord knows the Army bollixed up enough of my stuff, back in the day...

And thanks for your service.

Hey MaduroFan stop by the intro thread and introduce yourself. My BIL has a locker there also I think, at least he used too.

Hey Plush, just did. Just wanted to make sure I got this done before I couldn't find the thread; read it on my phone. Think my intro is called Thanks, Jonathan Drew (I can't add links to posts yet, sez the forum.)

I try to get to T&C once a week, though I miss all too often... Do you get there often?

A solid first post with generosity involved...Welcome to Botl.

 

[jwyatt55]

Anthony there is a small shop there in Killeen called cigar box. Not the greatest but close to you (off of ws young). Also there is a new shop in harked heights that you should not even look at! Horrible prices and even worse customer service!

Lots of great shops in Austin and Dallas!

Thank you, Sir. Least I could do -- lot's of folks were generous with me, back when dirt was new and I was in the grunts ...

Hey hey hey.... T&C is my favorite hangout!! If we start bragging about it too much it will make it hard to get a seat! LOL

 

[Nosmo King]

Another thumbs-up for T&C as well! It's my favorite place too! I don't go there a whole lot, but I really like the shop, atmosphere, etc.

 

[ThankfulJoe]

Awesome responses! I'll definitely have to hit up T&C when I make it up to the DFW area again. I have a really good friend that lives in Arlington so I'm usually coming up with excuses to visit. Appreciate it Maduro! I'll definitely hit you up when I'm in the area. Maybe we can organize a little T&C meetup in the upcoming weeks.

TJ2001Cobra I pass through RR multiple times a week. My wife lives in San Antonio (due to working at USAA) so I make that drive on a pretty regular basis. We will definitely also have to link up. See how your 2001 cobra stands up to my 2011 GT.

Jason is the new one you're talking about called Stetson Cigars? I remember poking my head in there once. Looks like a really nice place but the prices were pretty rediculous.

Hey Rick,

My name is Chris. Ask any of the staff about "Chris who does smartphone apps." Also "Chris who buys all the Tats..." "Chris who drinks all the martinis..." "Chris who buys all the Ligas..." sigh...

Yeah, let me know when you're around-I'll buy ya a smoke, if I'm not in Iowa or some such.

Yeah I think Mike kind of likes it the way it is ... though when there's a band it's standing room only. I try to make it once a week, but the rest of my crew is in there fairly regularly.
