San Antonio has at least one that I am aware of because I live close to it. Great selection of cigars...pretty much pay retail tho...but nice atmosphere.

There a plenty of cigar shops of varying quality and selection in the greater Sacramento area. (I live about 40 minutes north of Sac.)

As for cigar lounges . . . there are two that I know of but it has been years since I went to the one in downtown Sac. (Harlows) When I was there over 5 years ago it was a nightclub downstairs and a cigar lounge upstairs.

The one I frequent now is in Loomis, CA (about 20 minutes north os Sacramento) and it is called Tobacco Republic. Small place with a couple chairs and two soft leather sofas. It has a huge walk-in humidor . . . about the size of a large bedroom. Great selection (no cubans . . . damn the US policies

). The owner, Ron, is great and has taught me alot about cigars and the different kinds and flavors. Apparently he even owns a factory in the Dominican Republic! He has even given me free sticks on more than one occasion - very nice guy indeed!

I wish all of you were as lucky as I am to have a shop/owner in your area like Tobacco Republic and Ron.

And you sit down? Do you order a drink? Or just smoke a cigar? Or just buy and run?:)

I was reading last night about some cigar lounges that offer lockers for rent in their humidor! Thats a pretty neat idea!

yes they are pretty neat. and convenient. but prepare to shell out a lot of extra cash as they dont come cheap. our cigar bar here has one but the rental fee is way up high than the cost of the smokes i plan to put in them.
