Absolutely! Cigar Masters is by far the best place to go if you want a varied selection and a place to smoke as its the only one with a decent sized lounge area and bar. Cigar Masters is on Boylston Street. Gloucester St cigars has an amazing selection of Tatuajes and Cabiguans (probably the best in the country) and has a small sitting area. Jose the owner/manager is a great guy. And for anything HTF like opus, anejo, etc. Peretti's is the only place to go. It might take some convincing to get them to give up their better sticks but they have the BEST high end selection.
Shoot me a PM if you'd like my Number in case you need restaurant recommendations or directions to any of the aforementioned shops. I'll be out of town till the 2nd but Id be happy to help anyway I can.

Pat has hit the downtown Boston stops. CigarMasters is nice, but it is very highly priced and tend to the "i am smoking a cigar to look cool crowd". As one of a few places downtown where you can smoke at all, you also get the crowd that is looking to smoke cigarettes while they drink. Beer and Wine only at CigarMasters.
Peretti's is awsome. One of the oldest shops in the country. For what ever reason they tend to have a 'standoffish' first impression, but great if you can spend some time with them. Also the closest to MSRP in the Downtown area.
Churchill's Lounge is located in Faneuill hall. Its is also home to David Ehrlich's which is also one of the oldest B&Ms in the country/ Erhlich's moved from their orginal location several years ago and lost some of thier history and feel of an old time smoke shop. But the people their are great. Again only beer and wine. Great place to relax and smoke.
The north end lounge is Stanza dei Sigari (
Stanza dei Sigari) which is a great place. In the hear of the north end and below Cafe Vittoria (
Cafe Vittoria )(some of the best esspresso,cappuccino and coffee drinks in the city) on Hanover Street. Great way to spend a night, dinner any one of the great restaurants (PM for some sugestions), smokes at Stanzi, esspresso from Cafe Vittoria and the best freshest cannoli you will have have from Modern pastry (yes I know some people will say Mike's Pastry).
If you have time and can get to Leavitt & Pierce Inc in Cambridge, I would suggest that also. Another shop that has been around for over 100 years.
Boston's has some great old B&Ms
While somewhat outdated, this list is not so bad

Let me know if you need any more info. Or some restaurant ideas.

I got dropped off almost right on its door step but ended up walking around for about 40min trying to find it. I think I walked half of Arlington and Boylston looking for it. Luckily I had a map I printed from google and got my bearings in enough time to get there before it closed.
