So I went out a lunch today to check out a B&M near the office here. I'd been in a few times before, but never long enough to check out what he really had. I walk inside, and he's loaded to the gills with good stuff. Some of his prices were a little steep, but I work near Princeton so I figure you have to pay that premium...

The problem is the guy apparently does a big hookah business, and the place stank (or is it stunk?) of that sickly-sweet hookah tobacco / incense smell instead of the wonderful aroma of cigars. Now, either the smell has bonded itself to my clothes or burned into my nostrils because it's all I can smell. My office smells like a Singapore brothel.

Anyway, I walked out with half a dozen smokes... :-)

What sticks did you buy? You have to tell us :-)

Hopefully those smokes don't end up tasting like a Singapore brothel:-)

Nice on the pickup... not so nice on the smell. :-)

There's a shop in nearby Wash Twp (on the Pike) that I popped in for the first time last week. Same smells you describe. I elected not to buy sticks though. Decent selection, but some of them were a little beat up and I was a little concerned with the stench.

If that's not in the rules, it should be.
