There's already am active app that has all lounges listed. And yelp always helps!
Best B&M Retailer Shout Outs
- Thread starter ssaka
- Start date
Is this app just like Yelp, in that it's only a list? What I'm suggesting is that the only B&M's that will be added to this particular map will have been those only recommended by someone from BOTL.
Cigar Aficionado has one I think it's called "Where to smoke?" And gives a list based on your cell phone GPS location.
But that's my point. Cigar Aficionado is not going to discriminate. Yelp, like yellow pages will just list all shops. That's not my intention.
I only want to list shops that have been visited by members of this forum and recommended by members here. Not in a way to be exclusionary but for the intent of avoiding and wasting time on badly maintained or overpriced shops.
If you have the time, money and all to create it, I'd say go for it. There's a thread somewhere to shout-out the local B&M's i. Our respected areas.
I'm not planning on making an app, just a sharable custom Google map. It won't cost anything but some time, and that I'm willing to spend.
Cigar Box in Vegas is pretty legit. I'd say they have the best prices in Vegas, with decent variety to choose from.
What happened to it?
The reason I am interested in doing this is partially for my interest but also for benefit of the group. In June I'm going to be visiting Chula Vista, CA, in July I'm going to be making a road trip from here (El Paso) to Herndon, VA. I'm going to visit Korea, then when I return I'm going to stop in middle Tennessee, Huntsville, AL, and then through Houston on the way back to El Paso.
So it's obviously to my benefit to know where is a good place to stop, but I'm sure I'm not the only vagabond on this forum.

If your ever north of Atlanta. Stop in at Cutters Cigar Emporium in Alpharetta Ga.. It's a my Fathers lounge and a great selection of all the better brands in their big walk in humidor.. It's my go to for sure and I am a hour away
The Smoky Cigar in Hendersonville, Tn is a nice place. They have a really big selection in a huuuuuge humidor. It is about 20-30 minutes north of Nashville, depending on where you may be in Nashville. Have been to 3-4 shops around town and the one in Hendersonville is my favorite so far. Still have a few I have to visit.
It is very nice. Also a great hook up for Crowned Heads cigars.
When I lived in Fresno, CA the best cigar shop & lounge was Cigar Mas Fino (where I had my first Drew Estate cigar ever).
Here in Central Washington the only b&m that's worth a look is Lil Brown Smoke Shack. They've been around since the 1960's here in Yakima. Great prices and a small espresso lounge that a bunch of us meet up at on Fridays over coffee & cigars.
Snoqualmie, WA(just East of Seattle) has a really nice casino with a really nice cigar lounge called Lit. Decent cigar and whisky selection.

Fayetteville NC has Ansteads Tobacco. Decent selection really great lounge with a bar. They are a little pricey but not the worst I have seen.
In Apex & Raleigh Empire Cigars has 2 lounges about 30 minutes apart both are pretty nice a little smaller but still have a pretty solid selection.
