Cigar Room II

For those of you who live in Western Ma and are cigar smokers there is no doubt you probably heard of the Cigar Room tragedy.  The Cigar Room was store and lounge that was located in West Springfield and burnt down when a fire sparked in a neighboring building.  The owner eager to get back into the cigar business worked out a deal to take possession of Azon Cigars in Agawam, Ma. The new Cigar Room II carries a huge selection of cigars from Gurhka, La Gloria Cubana, CAO, Arturo Fuente, to Rocky Patel.  The atmosphere is not much different than when the place was owned by Azon.  Leather seating, high top chairs, and flat screens provide ample seating and entertainment while you enjoy your cigar.  There are a few notable changes that you may want to know about before heading down to the store.  The first are the hours.  As many of us enjoyed an after dinner cigar at Azon around 8 and 9 PM this is only possible on Thursday's all other days except for Saturday the lounge closes at 7 PM.  The stores closes at 6 PM on Saturday.  The second notable difference is the lack of a membership.  Azon provided a yearly membership which came with a pretty much all access pass to the lounge and humidor and liquor locker.  At the current point Cigar Room II does not have any membership like this.  Bottom line Cigar Room II is a great store with a wide selection of excellent cigars but the humidor needs some tweaking [cigars we enjoyed were too moist and needed constant relighting].  I really hope to see them adjust there hours to allow for a later night cigar and cordial but other than that this will become a staple place for me during the cold months. Great job taking Azon's and ramping it up.

PS.  Cigar Room II is a sponsor of the 2011 Big Smoke at the Log Cabin in Holyoke, Ma on 9/28/2011.
