Cigar Cigar on King Street has been my preferred location for cigar buying locally. Although I do order some cigars online (the ones I smoke frequently and order in bulk), when I'm in the mood for something different I head down to see Joe Hilton at Cigar Cigar.
Joe is an incredibly friendly man. He is the owner of this cigar shop and has an incredible knowledge of cigars. He can tell you what kind of wrapper and filler is used in each cigar, and even let you know where the tobacco came from or the wrapper leaf comes from.
The prices here are a little high, especially if you're used to just ordering online . However, Joe's cigars are usually aged for some time until he deems them to be ready. Often times I will walk in and ask Joe what he recommends, and he'll let me know about a ""new"" box he has just opened up for sale. Sometimes he recommends high price cigars, sometimes they are cheaper ones. All the cigars that I've purchased from Cigar Cigar that had Joe's recommendation were great.
The shop is small but has a comfortable seating area that has a nice breeze that passes through it. I've never been in a situation where you weren't allowed to smoke inside the shop. Usually there are other customers there enjoying a smoke, but if not Joe is great company.
I can say I'm a loyal customer to Joe Hilton and Cigar Cigar and appreciate his dedication to bringing quality to his customers.
Pros: Huge selection, aged cigars, knowledgeable owner, parking
Cons: Price (for the casual smoker)
