Wont go in to a deep reveiw on this one, This is located in down town Fullerton in So CAL, Only reason I went here is due to a Groupon that was 20 dollars for a 3 month membership and 40.00 dollars in cigars, Well first off their selection was pretty small and week, They had all of the Diamond Crowns but hey, They are a Diamond Crown lounge, Walk in Humi was at least 78% humidity, Every stick I picked up you couldnt hear the slightest crackle, I grabed a total of 5 sigars and spent 8 dollars out of pocket, The one I tried to light up was a La Hoya De Nicuraga Dark Corojo, I could only get a few puffs before it would go out, Tasty cigar but way over humidified, Lounge was nice enough but when the Generall Manager introduced his self and I asked why the humi was over humidified he just kind of laughed and said " You are obviously new to cigars, We keep the Humidor at the peek level ", Very clueless as a GM, Will probably go back for a RP / Four Roses event but other than that, Dont plan on extending my membership when it runs out...
Cheap sex, Cheap booze, Cheap cigars, Everybody loves a bargain.

Too bad they are clueless... Sounds like a great Groupon deal!

One of my biggest complaints of many B&M's is they assume the person walking through the door knows nothing about cigars.  Sure, that may be true 90% of the time, but we all know what happens when you "ass"ume...

   cool review!

   we have a shop in Columbus GA that keeps the sticks so wet i leave em out for a day at least after i get home. the other shop across the bridge keeps em just right. they have a large lounge and the members would howl if they couldn't light one right out of the box. it must help to have "quality inspectors" on site.
