As most of you know my smoking home is Burning Leaf in Plainfield,IL. I'd like to know which shop you frequent and call home. Tell a little bit about it and where it is. This makes it easy for traveling BOTL to find a comfortable place to get a good smoke and enjoy it. With that being said let's here about them.:cbig:

i go to two. my closest B&M is town centre tabacco and gifts, but they dont have any tatuaje and you cant smoke in there ( liberals are slowly taking over my home town). and the other is about 40 mins away at Kingston cigar shop. you can smoke there and they have tats! only problem is they arent to keen on the younger crowd.

Empire Cigars is my home B&M. I was the manager there for 7 years or so. Great place, Great owner (Hal) and staff(Dave (uncelnino), Derek, Jeff and the lovely Renee.

Top of the line selection, smoking lounge with SS Stereo, WiFi, Big Screen TV and alot of great customers/friends!

They have shipped quite a bit of product to numerous brothers on this forum, just ask around.

Thanks for that one. I will be in Raleigh next week and will check it out.

I have split time between three. Cigar King in Skokie (closest to me), Jack Schwartz, and my newest home away from home...The Burning Leaf. The Leaf is a bit of a drive for me, but I really like the shop and the people I have met down there.

En Fuego located in The Harbor in Rockwall, TX. Great staff, nicely stocked humidor and a spacious lounge with chairs, barstools, fireplace, Wi-Fi and several flat-screens. Very "Bring Your Own" friendly. This one is closest to my home.

Tabacco Gallery located at NW Hwy and Preston Rd, Dallas, TX. Friendly staff, nicely stocked humidor (promises expanding his Tat line for 2010!) large leather chairs, TV, Wi-Fi, limited seating and $5.00 lighter fee if you bring your own. About 1.5 miles from my office.

Last week, PLUSH introduced me to Stafford & Jones, Campbell Rd. & Plano Rd., Richardson, TX. Very nice selection of premium smokes, small lounge in the main section/humidor, but the real nice part is THE HAVEN; a members only lounge that PLUSH got us into for a Herf last week. Lots of comfy seating, large flat-screen, pool table, "low fee" drinks, but the hospitality shown by Steve and his lovely daughter is unmatched! A little out of my way on my daily commute, but I'll be stopping in regularly from now on.

Unfortunately we don't have any B&Ms here. We have a couple tobacco shops that sell cigars, ya know how that goes! So, I suppose I would consider the World Famous Cigar Bar in Downtown Fort Myers, FL my home B&M. Never went there much as I did not really get into cigars until I deployed and moved here when I got back. Ironic, really, since I don't drink any more lol! But, everybody needs a home!

Wouldn't you like to know?
Mine is La Tienda cigars in Edmonton Alberta Canada. Small shop but good place to hang out and a members only lounge as we have some of the worst smoking nazi's anywhere. Should have started with just get a hold of me if you are ever in town and I will meet you for a cigar.
