They truly are the only West Bradenton cigar store that has the finest cigars in the whole town. Beware of the lounge, where a great group of guys just hang out and talk about whatever is going on.

I just ordered two bottles online to have delivered to a friend on Siesta Key in Whispering Sands (…read moreas a birthday gift). She just sent me a picture of what was delivered. They substituted another bottle that was $3 cheaper than the chardonnay I had ordered. I tried to send an email back via the order confirmation message. I hope they offer a credit for the difference. The wine they substituted was not one I would have chosen. It's hard to deal with from a distance. I appreciate the fact that they deliver but I wish I had been given a choice about the replacement. Update: my friend let me know that they provided a 3rd bottle to make up for the error. So it's all good & I appreciate their response.

One reviewer wrote that (I am paraphrasing here) that Manhattan Liquors is well stocked and…read morecompeting with ABC and Total Wine, so their prices are a higher and that he never goes to the afore mentioned stores. Although I do not see the competition of which he speaks with the big guys having a national presence, he is correct about Manhattan Liquor being well stocked - This place has everything one could want to purchase and partake. But just for fun, after pulling a cold 6er from the fridge, I approached the counter and opened with "I would just like to say that there a few items that I purchase regularly that I do not see here" to which the owner grabbed a pen without looking up and was ready to write my request. I then stated that I was only making funny, a poor attempt at humor because that have so much of everything and it is all very well displayed. I am on a beer swing because strong alcohol just hits me kinda hard and although wine is me favorite of alcoholic beverages - its 89* here still and that's to hot for a big and bold Tuscan or a Maragaux - I probably could do a white or a rose (Squiggly line ~ atop the 'e') but I'm mentally just not ready for that level of commitment. I hadn't seen the Micky's Beer ($7.99) in a very long time, so along with two shooters of Chambord, I was on my way. I am going to write a post on my blog about twist tops on beer cans and bottles. I say this as I am avoiding using my right pointing finger from a laceration I took opening my first Coors Light 16oz aluminum can last weekend. This particular finger is a very useable finger at a very industrious juncture of the finger itself, top center of the pad. And it was no simple twist the cracked the seal, it was an iron grip and a strained twist with a mild gnashing of exposed teeth. Not the Mickys tho - the harmonious easy twist to crack transition induced b the simplest pressure applied was a ease that caused me no trauma that I now carry thanks ot the razor blade neck of those darn Coors Light cans - and I dont even like that beer at all - the can turns blue when its cold. Duh - how dumb must a person be to not be able to teall if a can if cold?

Good times and when the owner called last call, everyone got up and shopped for their cigars. A number of us had lockers there. The owner managed to run off the Friday night group off because he did not want to stay open an extra hour. Seriously??? We did not renew the locker and never returned. That location since closed. Funny thing is that the last Friday we got together, they had to read out the plastic chairs - had around 18 people that night - one of their best days for sales.
