Well, I've been trying to find a good local shop to call my own and I think I have. It's one of three near me, but the owner is by far the friendliest chap I've met yet. He really knows his stuff and has a larger and more interesting selection that the other two. I think I'll be heading that way often.
Sounds good. Wish that I could find a good one close to me.
Great! It's hard in some places to find a good B&M. I'm just glad I work for one of the best!
what shop,TS??....i was in honduras with a few guys from the ATL area.....what was the owners' name??...
Just to show what cool people there are on this forum, Jaewing PM'd me to let me know that we live pretty close to each other. He offered to do a road trip to the local B&M that he goes to. The little one I went to is just barely a store. The one I go to is about 6' x 15' for the entire store. The humidor is the back 4 feet and they have less than a dozen boxes.
I'm sure some of you guys have more cigars in your coolidor than this shop has for sale.
So I'm looking forward to finding out about a place just down the hill in Loomis called "Tobacco Republic". Apparently they even have a smoking lounge which is exceedingly rare here in California.
...is the name of the place. It's on Lawrenceville Hwy just inside the perimeter (if you're at all familiar with the Atlanta area). The owners are Al and Ben (didn't get their last names, though).
There are other shops in Atlanta proper that I haven't been to, but at the moment, this one more than meets my needs and is a lot closer to my home.
