I'm sure there are a thousand places in Manhattan where one can grab a drink and a cigar and just hang out.. Where do ya guys have in mind?
I actually work in Queens, but I imagine there are more choices in Manhattan...?

What rock did you crawl out from?NYLaw said:
There are seven.
Let me get this straight.NYLaw said:
You live in Jersey.
You work in Queens.
Your profile has a location of NY, NY
You must be a lawyer ... and geographically challenged?
Kevin ... the place in Queens is Havana Dreams? Where RobFest was held? Heard of it - never been there. Willing to try it.
Was thinking next Thursday or Friday. Florios or HBB. About 6:30-7.
Want to hear from Poni and Tom... works for y'all.
Always willing to go to Azucar in JC or Titilation in Bloomfield (Friday only).
Seekign opinions and will then make an executive decision.
Geoff, LOL- not geographically challenged, just diverse...
-Born & raised in San Diego.
-Schooled in Manhattan & lived there until relatively recently.
-Live in Jersey now (wife, kids, the whole deal)
-Work in Queens (which qualifies as part of "NY, NY", believe it or not)... Which brings me to next week...
Regarding my knowledge of cigar bars in NYC, like I said... I just got back into it, and I haven't really "been" a cigar smoker since living on the east coast, so, to answer your question, I crawled out from under THAT rock!
Thursday, August 3 looks good for me as of now, and I just looked up Havana Dreams (their website, www.havanadreamssmokelounge.com, is down, but Google has it cached)... It's in Rego Park which is fairly close to my office, so that would work really well for me, if you guys want to try it!

I think next Thurs can work. I have to travel from Princeton to New Brunswick, about 35 min. Then catch a train to NYC, about an hour. That would put me in the city around 645. Then a subway/walk where ever.
I might also be able to do this. I've heard so much about Florio's over the years and have yet to hit it. I'd be up for that. HBB is also okay with me. Let me see what I can work out with my schedule and what y'all decide on day, time and place.
Geoff,
As a former Manhattan-ite I see what you're saying about the whole "outerboros-think-they're-part-of-the-City-
but-there's-really-no-comparison-in-terms-of-culture-or-action-or-fun" thing...
Having never been to a "cigar meet" (or does this qualify as a herf?) do we bring our own? Buy them there? Do we trade? There's a coupon on the Havana Dreams website for a free "house blend" cigar, for whatever that's worth...
Give me some idea of what we're doin'.

This might not be official herf status ... will check the by laws ;-)
You do not need to bring a cigar - I've got you covered.
Everyone else is on their own.
I think this will fall into the category of a couple of guys meeting up to smoke cigars and have a drink... and mayb eeat if it's florios.
And as an ex-manhattanite you know I required by zoning laws to make make fun of the outer boros any chance I'm given. Twice as much if it's Staten Island. And living downtown I have a variance that allows me to make fun of the UES as well.... but then again who doesn't?

Uh, should I be concerned???tubaman said:Geoffrie will take good care of you!!!itchfork
I don't know any of you guys, so it's kind to offer a cigar & to "take care of me," but... Is there an inside joke that I'm missing?
