NH shops = great!

[heavyd]

Just returned from a week in NH visiting my brother in Durham. I went to 2 Guys Smoke Shop in Seabrook and I also checked out Federal in Epping, NH. I dealt with Adam at 2 Guys and Ben at Federal. This was my first experience with b&m's, as I buy all of my cigars online. Both of these gents were simply great guys!!! I now know why many of you botl's prefer to get your smokes from b&m's.

After a friendly chat, Ben let me roam the store collecting singles. After 10 minutes, I made the wise decision to ask him if he could recommend anything exclusive to Federal or something I haven't tried....good move on my part . I left with a load of great smokes.

Federal Short Run Carrillo coronas (smoked three - love 'em. I should have bought more)
Federal My Father Connecticut (bought a sampler of all sizes - my new favorite cigar after one smoke)
Federal My Father Lounge exclusive (haven't tried it yet)
My Father Special (available only at b&m's. It's resting )

THANK YOU Ben and Adam. NH is a great place to visit...in the Summer months, anyway

edit: I smoked a La Sirena robo while in the store...great Pepin smoke that tastes nothing like a Pepin.

I loved NH. I will definitely look you fellas up next Summer. My cigar time was limited on this trip, but I would love to meet the NH crew. Absolutely.

Ben knows cigars and the folks who create them. Period.

If your avatar is your pic, then, no, you were not there. The only guy in the store other than Ben was a gray-haired gent. He sparked a conversation with me about California, but I had limited time. I really wanted to sit down with him, but couldn't. Next time

Yeah ya missed me then. Musta been a monday or wednesday afternoon. But yeah, look forward to next time.

I couldn't agree more. I feel blessed living as close as I do. The guys at Federal and Twins are fantastic.
