We’re not yet ready to name the Best Cigar Store, but we sure like the folks at Tony’s Fine Cigars. Tony’s Fine Cigars opened in late 2007 at the corner of Red Hill and El Camino Real, in the same center as Starbucks, Robeks and Subway.  They held their first Cigar Night in August 2008, and it was such a success they intend to do more in the future.  At Cigar Night, all cigars are 15% off.

The walk-in humidor is small, and the selection is not as extensive as you may find at some other stores, but they really nailed the quality of the assortment, including my favorite Gurkhas. You’ll never work your way through all the great cigars they offer.

I also like the eclectic feel of the store.  Long before I ever smoked a cigar I used to go to cigar stores for the great tchotchkies they offered.  Tony’s Fine Cigars is like that, offering not only quality cigars and all the accouterments, but merchandise as varied as collectable knives and portable DVD players. 

I was also impressed by how seriously they take their customers’ passion for cigars.  Any business can add a humidor and call itself a cigar store, but one of the owners, Miranda Baskharoon, approached cigars like a science, taking nine months of courses in Cigarology (a word I just made up).  If you are new to cigars, or a cigar veteran who just wants to try something new, Miranda can advise you.
