The folks attending the counter were very polite and were very happy to let me browse their cabinet…read morehumidor. I was thrown back by the various cigars they had in the humidor. They had a decent selection at decent prices. Most everything was under $15 with a few sticks closer to the $20 range. Here are the problems. Cigar lovers don't necessarily need to run into a cigar shop in the middle of the night for a smoke. The whole process is a ritual. While this place is open late in the evening I can either pull a cigar from my humidor to smoke while I stroll through town or I can wait. There are a couple of lounges open in the late evening in the city too, I can always go there. Having cigars in a shop like this feels like an attempt at selling to an audience that may not be able to discern good from bad cigars or well curated and kept cigars. So why is this important to mention...One of the cigars I smoked that I picked up from this location I placed in my humidor for roughly 24 hours before smoking. That was probably not enough time to give it to rest. Most cigar smokers do not trust the humidors where any cigar they buy is stored. Sure, we'll buy something and smoke it but often times we'll want to rest those cigars in our own private humidor where you know the exact conditions, temperature, and humidity. Sometimes this helps bring cigars that are a bit dry back to life or overly humidified back into balance. The cigars I picked up from this humidor were overly dry. To the point, the wrapper was cracking and not possible to save. I thought I could save it. But unfortunately, it did not work. In a normal tobacconist lounge, they would happily replace your stick. Because that is their profession and craft. This is essentially an artisans product, not a pack of marlboro's and this store, regardless of how nice these guys were is a retail store not unlike a simple bodega. The issue that was a bit odd was that whenever another customer walked in that he had to attend he would lock the cabinet and tell me he'll be back. He wasn't rude about it. It was just not odd. This was the Upper West Side...Crime is not really a thing up here...So it was irritating to have to wait while he handled others. There were a few annoyingly entitled young women who walked in making a lot of noise, somewhat drunk who barraged through the store. He had to deal with them first while he was charging me. Instead of politely having them wait while he finished his transaction with me. While the prices here are really good and there is an interesting selection of cigars I am not certain they are caring for them properly in their cabinet. The staff were nice and open to suggestion. This is where my rating comes into play as a 2. It is an ok location. I'll try buying a few more regular daily driver type cigars here and let them rest for a few days to balance out temp and humidity. If those smokes turn out to be fine I'll update and recommend more heavily. I can't speak specifically about the other products they have but they did have a decent inventory of vape and head shop items. If the current cigar resting and any future cigars I grab don't really pan out, I'll know that this is definitely not a place to ever buy cigars and will update my review as such.
