My suburban travels brought me to Unionvillle today as I explored my regular bar and restaurant spots along Main Street.
Flipping open my yelp app I did a generic search of businesses in the area and suddenly the app informed me that I was standing next to cigar shop. What!!?!?
I've been frequenting the streets on Unionville for years and I never noticed this place. I looked around and low and behold it was right across the street from my car!
Cigar Bodega is a premium tobacco and cigar shop hidden on Unionville Main Street. It shares a building with La Grotta Italian Restaurant. I find the Sopranos irony of Italian Food and cigars to be mind bending!
Entering I was blown away by the sweet smells of familiar fragrant tobacco and cedar. Cupboards well stocked with cigars from every popular cigar manufacturer line the walls. There are also plenty of humidors and cigar care products for purchase.
This all paled in comparison to the walk in humidor room towards the stores rear. Floor to ceiling stogies. Heaven. You could feel the humidity in the air keeping these fat boys moist and smoke ready.
I did enter with a question, why had my home humidor dried out my collection, and could my cigars be saved? The associate behind the counter was amazingly helpful and offered some helpful suggestions to fix my humidor but let me know that my cigars were likely beyond repair. Sad.
However I will be returning in the coming weeks to have them teach me proper humidor care and maybe even begin the long process of restocking my now depleted collection.
