I just recently tried my first Cuban cigar in the Dominican Republic. I don't know too much about…read morecigars but that didn't matter when coming here. Paul introduced me to some cuban cigars and made me feel like I came to the right place. He's really genuine and knows what he's talking about. I am from California and now that we can bring Cubans back to the states, I think every American traveling abroad should pick some up. If you do, get them from this place !!!! Trust me. If you don't know what your looking for in particular it doesn't matter, they'll help you out and you'll be glad you went. Cant wait to come back!!!

In all my years of reviewing and traveling the globe this is the first time I have felt…read morediscriminated against. Date of Incident: Friday, Aug 1, 2025 around 12 pm. Here's what happened...... I walk in looking for a specific Cigar. The store clerk helping one male customer. So really it's just the three of us now in this tiny store. The clerk sees me and shoots me a dirty look. No problem. Maybe his dog is sick or something.... I don't know. I wait 5 min, 10 min, 15 min. No Hello. No I'll be right with you. Nothing. Not a single gesture of acknowledgement....of not only a customer but another human being that just happens to walk into your establishment. Bizarre. Going on 20 min now. I started to feel very uneasy and uncomfortable, as I was now being overtly ignored, and me being the Alpha-A type personality that I am....I wasn't just going leave and have someone ignore me like that. So.....I turned to the clerk who literally pretended I was a fly on the wall, and said...."If I could please get some service, I'm in a bit of a rush." He then with a pissed off reluctant look came my way. Even when he attended to me I felt this hostile energy from him I could not understand, and certainly was unfamiliar with, as I had never experienced anything like that. Ever. What was interesting was that the other customer felt bad for me, and apologized to me. It turned out I just had a question about a product and had to wait 20 min to ask it from a store clerk who pretended I was not there. Upon leaving the store there was only one thing that I was unsure of. Was it the fact that I was a Female or a person of colour that my business was not welcome?

Would give 6 stars if I could. I called in a large and…read moreunique order and Jorge was so kind and accommodating.

We had drinks while we waited (delicious mango Italian soda for me and my friend; wine for others). We ate a delicious sample of mango chicken salad because that didn't require cooking, and then the next day, our fees were promptly refunded in full. So all in all, a lovely place to be when the power is on! Pro tip: if you've come with someone else, get there early so you can sit together!

This Williams Sonoma is almost identical to what's in the states except it's more expensive…read more I wasn't greeted coming in and walked around to see if anything called to me and was unique enough to pay taxes for when I flew back. The only thing I saw that I loved was an amazing heart cutting board that was exactly what I wanted, but a quick check confirmed it was cheaper and in sold in the US so I didn't splurge. Overall, exactly like any other WS you might walk into, except slightly less friendly.

I called customer service and she said " make a police report we do not cover porch pirates" zero help or guidance. in fact she originally said "i says here it'll be delivered in the coming weeks" i told her "that's odd because it says on my end - that it was delivered on my end and it isn't here" then she ACTUALLY looked into it - and said "oh yes it says delivered - make a police report we do not cover porch pirates have a nice day" I'm taking my business elsewhere. what a joke $778 down the drain. and this is not my first bad experience with the company in recent years unfortunately.

Aaron came out as we were looking for Plan B and let us know the event had just ended and they were open again. (5 loud cheers on the street for sure!) I tried both the Kyoto and Wet Work, enjoying them both. They would even work as a blend of one another. My dad accidentally ordered a chocolate martini instead of an espresso martini, and Aaron made it happen. (The entire table loved it! Take that poured over some ice cream and I'd be far too content!) My brother had the gin martini, and while not a fan of gin straight up, it had a nice smooth finish that I could appreciate.
