Casa De MonteCristo

This is THE 2012-era 'standard' for cigar shops. It's pristinely designed and carries the best selection of old standards to hard-to-find premium cigars. It also has a great selection of overruns extra aged--from premium companies. Then--as if that's not enough--they have a 'rare and aged' room full of uber quality cigars. The only problem with this place is managing your bank account when there...

It does have a decent 'free' lounge area...but I had the privilege of being 'comped' a session in their basement lounge area and was blown away. If I lived here I'd definitely be a member. It's huge, has a full bar for BYO and coffee, has a private DVD theatre, a conference room, plenty of booths, tables and chairs...and perfect ventilation.

BTW--if there in warm weather, they do have a great patio outside area to smoke. Free as well.

I don't know how they afforded this but am glad they did. I've been to lounges all over the U.S. and have yet to find better. As I said, THE standard moving forward.

Great place.  Fantastic service. Staff is very knowledgable. Took the time to ask me about what type of cigars I enjoy, and then suggested I try a particular cigar that had been aged.  Private club in the basement that is byob.
This is probably the best cigar store I've ever entered.  Top shelf. Well done.

I have been a fan of these guys since they started out.

Not only is this the classiest cigar lounge in the country!
Not only is the selection and prices the best you will ever find!
Not only do they have the best VIP dinner with the WORLD's most renowned cigar makers!
Not only do they have the best vintage sticks!

These guys are actually a bunch of GREAT GUYS! And the staff is always caring and helpful!

Hope I did not go overboard, but this is seriously a blueprint for how it's supposed to be done.

Great work.
