Visiting Philadelphia

[parade]

I will be in the Philadelphia area next week, 3/10 - 3/14. I plan on visiting Mahogany Monday night. Anyone up for a short notice mini herf?

I'm also up for visiting Mahogany or Chris' shop (Philly Smoke Shop) after that. If you're interested, let me know.

Side note, any experiences on smoking in Atlantic City?

Enjoy your stay...Mahogany's is amazing. You can't smoke in AC unless you're gambling on the casino floor. Not usually allowed in poker rooms either unless they are located on the main casino floor. If you're visiting AC definitely...stop by the Borgata, Caesar's The Pier, or the Tropicana Quarter. The rest is pretty much garbage.

Give Mike (Phlicker) a shout. He lives in Philly and is a most gracious host. :thumbs:

A must stop while your in center city Philly is Holt's Cigar Company @ 1522 Walnut St.

They have one of the best Arturo Fuente selection in the area to include Opus X, hard to find sticks and gift sets that will just blow you away...... :thumbs:

Don't listen to anyone... Holts is horrible, they have no OPUS or anything thats good. :whistling: LOL

Enjoy your stay, maybe I will see you at Mahogs!

Stop by Black Cat...on Samson St. A few blocks away from Mahogany's. I think it's one of Philly's cool cigar stores.

If you're going to Mahogany you won't miss Holt's... it's literally right on top of Holt's. The doors are next to each other.

The people at Holt's are really cool too. I stopped in there a couple weeks ago and smoked one in the lounge and was brought frosty mugs of iced tea and given a philly soft pretzel to take with me when I left. They treat people right there!

I agree about AC... the Borgata is pretty much the only place to go. But it's worth checking out the boardwalk casinos just to check them out.

I highly recommend going to Holts.

It sounds like you'll be there anyways since you're going to Mahogany, but check on the store hours. Top notch place!
