Cuban Creations is the cigar bar, and they did have T-Shirts, but I don't see any merch on their website.

LMAO! I got a hat at the cigar bar in NOLA and it says that on the back. My kids got a huge laugh out of me wearing it around town!

I have a couple posts here with ashtrays I have restored and/or picked up at antique shops but of the 9 or 10 cigar/pipe ashtrays that I have, this is my favorite. I’ve always enjoyed gargoyles and this ashtray just screamed at me when I saw it. I’m fairly sure I got it at the same mall news...

My first Chacom. Elements #390 sandblast. Fell in love with the band the first time I saw it. Blown away by how solid it is. Amazing presentation in a leather/suede collapsible box.

Lucky! I have is RyJ Hermosos 2003 LEs. They’re worth a lot because they don’t have embossed bands. 🤣

I played a little Tetris a few weeks ago and could probably fit a box or two in there now. I also have a couple boxes of fake Cubans that I have been holding for a friend going on 12+ years. Every now and then he asks me to bring him a couple.

I bet you’ll like it. So many options for every personality.

I really like it! Sharp as hell for a very clean cut. I needed it like I needed a hole in the head but I hit a 40% sale around Christmas last year so it was about $100.

I won a little package from Cigar Snob Magazine’s weekly Win! Stuff! Live! Contest last week. They are featuring Drew Estate swag this month. I scored a Drew Estate 25th anniversary backpack, two lighters, two travel cases, a cigar stand and a couple other items. They run the contest every...

New shop in my hometown opened today. I picked up a couple nice smokes from a well stocked walk-in. Liga, Davidoff, Fuente, Ferio Tego, Perdomo, Ashton, CAO, Dunbarton just to name a few. Some real high-end, limited editions too. I was amazed at the single stick inventory and the back up box...

I found away to hide the nut and bolt holding the ashtray together and keep with the decor of the stand. Tobacco tin cap fits perfectly.

Yes it is.

Found this ceramic and brass stand for $20 at an antique shop yesterday. It was missing the ashtray but I had the big glass one that I picked up a few months ago in mind when I saw it. I was going to attack the brass with Simichrome, but I think I’m going to keep the patina. Th boss likes it!

Visited Boston’s famous LJ Peretti today and picked up a Dracula Halloween pipe and the 432 aromatic blend.

I noticed that too. Prices and quantities on both sites were identical on all of the items I checked.
