LA Area

[denverdog]

Any of you locals know of any nice cigar shops or lounges in or around the LA area? I will be out there next week and have Wednesday night open if anyone wants to meet up for a mini-herf, first round is on me! Thanks guys. :thumbs:

PS: Is the Grand Havana Room invitation only?

Well, I'll tell you the ones I know of.

Shops (that don't have a lounge):
Vendome Liqours, Toluca Lake (corner of Riverside & Cahuenga). My favorite.
Vendome Liqours, Studio City (on Ventura Blvd.)

Shops with a lounge:
The Big Easy, Studio City (on Ventura Blvd.)
The Cigar Warehouse, Sherman Oaks (on Ventura Blvd.)
Fat Stogies, Encino (on Ventura Blvd.)
Havana, Studio City (off of Ventura Blvd.)
The Brand Cigar Club, Glendale (on Brand)
there's a few more in Burbank/Glendale I know of, but can't remember the names, and they're rather small joints.

There's also a shop in Santa Monica on Broadway near the 3rd St. Promenade, but I haven't been there in a while. They have a lounge as well.

And finally, there's the famous Tinderbox in Santa Monica (or is it Beverly Hills?) which I've never been to but have heard it's like a landmark. It's on Wilshire Blvd. I believe.

Luckily for us, LA is full of smoke shops. I usually spot one I'd never seen before every week! Alas though, my Wednesday nights are busy playing hockey. Maybe some other time. Good smoking and I hope you enjoy your stay!

P.S. You gotta try a double-double from In 'N Out at least once. Preferably "animal style".

Forget the smoke shops, just go to In 'N Out! Like Black Cloud said, get it "animal style". Go for a double double. Hell, get animal fries while you're at it.

Thanks for the info guys. I have a hazy memory of an in and out burger during a stay in OC a while back. Do they let you order the double-double sober or before 1am? :laugh:

Hell, while he's at it...might as well tell him to go for the 4x4 animal style with animal fries!!! :0 Fat stomach for days...it'll make you WANT to sit down and smoke...that's for sure!!!

I had a 4x4 over the summer, never doing that again.

I did a 4x4 with fries and a DIET coke. Like the DIET coke really makes a differnece, right?
