Stopped by the Havana Cigar Co. Last night when a buddy of mine wanted to stop in for a pack of cigarettes. I'm a fairly avid cigar enthusiast and have heard mixed opinions on this location.
Upon walking inside I noticed a few patrons smoking their selection and having a conversation. The humidor was a nice size and fit into the "traditional" cigar shop aura. The back room was stocked with a full bar, and the sales associate was kind and helpful. The only thing that struck me as odd was his offering of Cuban cigars. Unfortunately, due to the embargo, Americans are unable to purchase Cuban cigars so in my brick & mortar experiences a cigar shop selling Cubans is selling fake cubans.
That particularly makes me question the establishment and the people running it. It's a big cigar shop no no and something that shouldn't happen.
