Anyone ever had an experience at rae's cigars in Littleton, NH

[rlavoie910]

Hey all,

I dont get a chance to post much, i do get a chance to smoke quite a bit! I spent the weekend in northern NH and had the interesting experience of finding rae's cigars on main st. in Littleton, NH. I am curious if anyone else has ever been into this store, it was easily my worst experience in a cigar shop ever. Upon walking in i was immediatly treated with condiscending disrespect, I understand i am a younger guy, but thats no reason to treat me as if i were coming to your shop to buy a pack of rolling papers.


I guess i just really wanted to cry about my bad experience, but really if anyone has had a great time in that shop let me know.Other than that, avoid it like the plauge unless you are desperate for some davidoff's.

I was just up in the area this weekend but did not make it to Rae's. It seems like some people still cant fathom the fact that younger adults can have a love for Cigars. And it is way easier to judge first especially in a town that gets a lot of out of towners. Just be glad Mass and NH have a boat load of good B&M's that you can frequent.

Never been to that shop, however, the best advice I can give you to respectfully throw it in an "old timers" face is to know your shit.

I'm a 26 year old guy, covered in tattoos, and I live in Georgia; when I walk into a B&M outside of Atlanta, with a good ol boy shop owner, I get the vibe sometimes. But, I have good etiquette, I know what I like/dislike (brands, leaves, etc), and can communicate that in a respectful way. Knowledgeable enthusiasm is a great tactic for removing the "young guy" smoker stigma, as well as forging a relationship with your local B&M, IMO.

And the best part is that learning about cigars involves smoking them lots of different brands, sizes, countries, etc. Hate to hear that happened to you though brother!

Or just call them an old codger and spit on the floor.

I have gone to rae's several times in the past. He is somewhat introverted, but once you get to know him he is actually quite nice and helpful. In fact, I plan on placing an order with him this week. He ships out to Cali. If you happen to be in Littleton and have a few minutes to spare, spend some time asking him some questions, while doing so make sure he gets that you know your stuff. Good luck!
