I went into this local liquor store not far from my to grab a sprite for my daughter and maybe grab…read moresome beers for me. I walked in and they have a cigar room that looked stacked with a wide variety in it and the place was packed with all kinds of alcohol instead of th usual snacks and the items which I like. Walking in the guy behind the counter wasn't interested any small talk which, again, I can live with. We found some Mexican soda which was overpriced but fine. I checked out the beer selection and they had a large variety of Burgeon Beer which I was excited about. Here is where it went south. I took it all up to the counter and the rude man rang it up to the tune of $55. I asked how in the world it could be that much and he showed my the price tags, which I missed on the beers, $18.99 and $21.99 for 4 packs of beer! These are overpriced at $15/ 4 pack and these guys took it to the next level. Again, overpriced and rude but it's beautiful day and I paid and took my stuff. But don't worry, when I got home and I took it out of the bag the beers cans were dusty, maybe even dirty, and I checked the cans then their canned dates were almost a year ago! So... nice selection, terrible service, predatory pricing and an inferior product. I cannot warn you enough about this stain of a store on our small town of South O. 1 Star and that's being generous.

Excellent Arturo Fuente selection along with others. I chose Bolivar. Excellent but smooth for a…read moredarkie

I personally go for the cigars and let me tell you this.. I stop going to my old favorite shop and stop shopping online simply cause AJ. Seriously the selection here is AMAZING and better than the ACTUAL cigar lounge in Oceanside (Grotto). I guarantee if they had a lounge.. I'd be there every day.
