Hot Springs Cigar Shop Visit
I just got back from Hot Springs, Ar. where we were at a bike rally. After checking the local phone book I found there was two B&M's listed. Decided to hit the one that closed the earliest first and then move to the next. Guess I should have called first because when I got there it was no longer in business. So I headed over to the other one.
It's called Churchill's Fine Cigars. I was greeted by the owner/manager Debbie and she showed me around the shop. They also sell pipes & tobaccos as well as other smoking accessories. When we went in the walk-in she asked me what my preference was and proceeded to guide me to those type of smokes. Debbie keeps one stick in each box that she will strip the cello to let you smell and feel. She's really knowledgeable of her inventory and very helpfull.
I noticed that she keeps the humi set a nice 65. There were 5 humidifer units in the walk-in to help keep it at that, as it's a fairly large unit. I didn't measure it but eyeballing it, I would guess about 10' x 30'.
When I asked if it was alright to take pictures to post on here with a review, you would have thought she was in hog heaven...lol Unfortunately she didn't have a wooden indian but she did have a totem plaque, it's in one of the pics. Oh and you can have a smoke with ol' Winston as there is a portrait of him in the lounge and another inside the walk-in, hence the name of the place...lol.
I bought a couple of sticks while there, one a Cain and one of their signature house
blends.
