| - Sinatra in the background. Rich, dark colors. Low lights. Supple leather furniture. Exquisit bar. Attentive staff. The waft of smooth smoke.
Not what I expected when a few friends suggest I meet them at Cutters. I had no idea what it was - it sounded like a really sad emo club. Pleasantly surprised was I!
If you have been looking for that classy place to relax, have a drink and perhaps a cigar and a nice chat with friends on furniture that looks like it was taken from Bogart's conservatory, this is the place. The hours are very accomodating to the atmosphere - hours seem to fly by in that place, and before we all knew it, it was 1 am.
As some other people previously mentioned, this place does have a very limited selection; a few cohibas, some Monte Cristos, and your usual Romeo et Julietas, but that's about it.
Also, the mark up is pretty ridiculous, about 2x-3x times what you'd pay in a cigar store or more if you're used to a J.R.
They do, however, have a very good wine/bourbon/whisky/scotch selection. I was very happy with their port selection, and I highly recommend the tawny with the Monte Cristo White.
Will be back, though I'll probably just foot the fee and bring my own selection.
