I have been to all three all three are very good.Welcome to the forum! Also a fellow Raleighnite, although not native. Check out Empire Cigars off of strickland Road. I like to go downtown and visit Amras. It's a cigar bar and they recently upgraded their selection. Actually they partnered with Empire Cigars. The Vault is also a nice spot, but it's in downtown Apex. Link - http://www.empirecigars.net/vault.html Then there is K&S cigars in Cary. Hope this helps and look forward to seeing you around town and on the forum!
