Hey CA Fam!

I have finally, FINALLY, found a great B&M in my area to smoke. The AZ Crew, well..... we don't get together often, even though we have quite a few members in the area. Most times I'm relegated to smoking by myself at my house or occasionally at the pool of a buddy's house. Many of the B&M's near me are small and not especially inviting. I usually take my own sticks to smoke when going to a B&M (I always buy one from the shop as well though, manners and all..) so I'm not really going for their selection of cigars.

Well finally a shop has opened literally a mile away from my house. And, unlike 98% of all cigar bars in AZ, they have their liquor license!!! Yes, you heard right, you can enjoy a beer (on tap) or a nice cocktail with your smoke. I know this may be old hat to some but its a novelty to me in this state. There are barely ANY places left in AZ where you can smoke and drink and the same time, in fact I only know of 2. Anyway, they have an amazing bar with more than 15 different types of Vodka, 20 types of Scotch and 12 beers on tap. This is a cigar shop! I was in heaven the first time I stepped foot in it. In fact, here's a pic

I'm really going to have to take a pic of the bar itself as it is quite size-able for a cigar shop.

I went to the shop yesterday and pretty much spent all day there. I hadn't had a one man HERF in awhile so I thought I would play catch up

It was a great time and I got to watch the Hockey game as well, which was icing on the cake. I just thought I'd share my good fortune with my CA Fam as I couldn't be more excited. So if anyone is in the area, I know a great place we can go smoke :-)

I'm soooo... jealous, here in the people's republik of Ontario we can't smoke indoors....:-)
Heck they won't even let us stand 'too' close to a door:-)
Great find, Enjoy !

Yeah Darryl its getting to be like that here as well. The only places that are exempt in AZ are the B&M's or any place that makes over 50% of its revenue through the sale of tobacco.

Glad to hear it!

I think the thread title was interpreted to be "post a great place to smoke". It is obvious your post wasn't read.

What? A place to call "home"? I am in PHX also. Where is this place that is close to your house, I hope close to mine?

Looks like you found yourself a winner. Enjoy!

It really is awesome guys!

Dave, I actually live in the East Valley. The shop is in Gilbert @ the north east corner of Val Vista/Williams Field. Fox Cigar Bar The website has some good pics of the bar itself as well :-)

I am quite jealous. Here in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota, the Nannies have pretty much made your experience nearly impossible.
[Reply]

Excellent! Sounds like the perfect place to hang out, Týr.

Enjoy!! :-)

Agreed, but across the river in Hudson, you can bring your own, as long as your not too crazy about it.

I had a RA Lusitanos the other day. Very nice! Glad to see you have somewhere to smoke and enjoy a nice beverage!

I checked out the slider images on their homepage. WOW, great find Tyr!

I will have to meet you out there sometime. I am no good at organizing things but I would love to smoke with some AZ BOTL.
