Downtown Los Angeles Cigar Shops

[sammis]

Hi All

I'm going to be in Los Angeles between 4/10 to 4/16.

Anybody live around there that can recommend a cigar shop to pickup some cigars from?

Also, any specific things to do when you don't have a car to get around with? <--cheap company accountants

Thanks!

1) having no car, you're screwed. You'll be the one person, literally, using the subway. Buses will have to be your friend.

2) Don't know about downtown spots, but Azucar lounge is partially owned by a great BOTL over on CPass (Stinkimonki). In fact, if you want to meet a bunch of cigar board guys, post a herf thread for the time you'll be there on Cigar Pass. Only SoCal guy around here (on this board) I can think of off the top of my head is Godfather, but he doesn't post much lately (all busy having a life).

Hi BigMacFU

Thanks for the info.

I'll go put up a post on Cigar Pass and see what I get

Hey Sammis,

Here's some links to a few places that I found in the downtown area.

I haven't been to them but Diplomat cigars has gotten some good reviews. As far as things to do downtown, there's Little Tokyo..good Japanese food. BTW, try not to walk around Downtown at night. It's kinda seedy down there. Hope this helps a little.

P.S. I'd love to herf it up with you and some other Botl while you're out here but I'm gonna start working nights starting next week. Definitely kills any social life that I might have had

Hi Smoky

Thanks for the info. I'll be staying at the Miyoto in Little Tokyo.

I'll have to check out those places and see what i can find.

If you have some time on Sunday, that's the day I'm scheduled to not work. If you have some time, maybe we could catch a ciger break

Sunday might work for me too..... something closer to late afternoon/ early evening would be more ideal. Wanna aim for that day and play it by ear? Maybe we can recruit some more botls by then for a mini herf.

Hi Smoky

That sounds good to me. I'll PM you my contact info and we can work something out.

I might try to hit the Diplomat store on Thursday when I get into town since I just found out that I don't have to go into work until Friday noontime. They have a social on Thursdays from 4-6pm
