From Fresno? You gotta check this out.

Not really much of a deal, so I think this is the best place for this:

Man, if youre from the Fresno area (dont be ashamed!), you have to check out Casa Del Tobacco. It's a fairly recent addition right there on Black Stone, just south of the River Park.

The guy is from Cuba, having won some form of "lottery" that allows him to have come to the US. His family started out in Florida making cigars, but now he and his wife have moved to Fresno.

The guy makes cigars right there and it's a treat to watch. Last time I was there, he only had hundreds of house smokes, but the price was great and he really knows what he's doing with that leaf.

Stop by and check his place out.

Now that thats outta the way...maybe I'll go intro myself.

Ever been to Club Habanos?

No. I've never been there. I used to buy everything from either the place in Manchester mall (that was my favorite) or from the place in Tower District.

In Mancheser, I liked the owner and the employees. Plus, half a mall away was the awesome Manchester Steak House.

I'm heading back to Fresno this Friday and will for sure be stopping by both the smoke shop and the steak house.
