Interesting! I'd do the same thing, but the B&M's all look the same here (pdf): http://www.mhp.gov.on.ca/english/hea...atSheet-EN.pdf

FYI, a nice article on cigar store indians I found a while back (pdf): http://www.evanschuman.com/clips/Americana.pdf

Come on Craig, the OCE in Ottawa is allowed to have all their cigars on display, they have a certified Tobacconist there so they get away with it that way.

That nub stand display is pretty neat. Is it a trash can or table, something functional, or is it just a display?

It is just for display. I think it would go great in your living room.

Thanks for the article. The expeditions are really more about cigar shops as a gathering place and their role in the larger cigar community. It's too easy to forget the value of being part of that community. I thought this would encourage our members to take a closer look at their local B&M's and enhance their appreciation of the industry. Sorry for the blah, blah, blah philosophy. Anyway, thanks again.

Is That a Fact? # 3: American Indians did not typically wear metallic suits of armor.

Location: Austin, TX. 509 East 6th Street, 2 blocks east of I-35.
URL: http://livecigarrollers.com/
Atmosphere: Very laid back with the zest and excitement of 6th street right outside.
Locals and visitors alike coming in all through the day and night.

Bobalu's has 6 full time rollers most grew up rolling in Cuba.
They are the only rolling school in the USA as far as I know of.
CNN did a skit on them and at that time they were the only rolling school in the country.
The fresh rolls are wonderful. They roll all their own smokes except for the pre-embargo Cubans they have from time to time. They will make you custom labels or a Cuban espresso.
This shop has a great ambiance and live cams on the rollers.
Here are some pics from tonight when I went with my fiance` and we had espresso and and I bought some pipe tobacco and 6 cigars. If you are ever in Austin do yourself a favor and have a fresh roll.
No Indian. Great place. Great stogies.

These fresh rolls are Dominican Binder and Filler.

The Pre-Embargo Cubans from 1959 are wonderful!

I forgot about OCE. I haven't been to OCE in about a year, and it hasn't been for lack of trying. Even when the hours posted on the door (and website) says that they're supposed to be open - they've been closed. I used to try and drop in every few weeks after work; I haven't bothered for a few months now. Fugg'em, Matthew gets all my business now.
