    We're staying at the Secret's Silversands in Cancun (Maya Riviera). Can't wait. Just looking forward to relaxing in some warm weather with some good cigars, good booze, good food and mostly, my girl. Have you been before? Just saw there's a Casa del Habano in Cozumel and one in Playa del Carmen, so that's a plus.
    We've been to the Iberostar in the Mayan Riviera (Quintana Roo) a couple of times and loved it. We're going to try "Dreams" (Mayan Riviera also) in Feb. Just be careful in Playa Del Carmen (if you go). Don't stray off the beaten path too much.

    Thanks for the heads up about Playa. Did you visit any other towns while there? Any worth the trip off the resort? How about the ruins in Tulum? I've heard mixed reviews on them. Some say they're worth the trek, others say don't bother. It's an all day thing if we go and is a bit pricey so I wanna know if it's even worth it.

    We didn't do any of them because it was an all day thing and we wanted to hang at the resort, drink, relax, smoke some cigars, eat, etc. But, when we went to Playa del Carmen we had a great cab driver who warned us about a few things and waited for us while we were there (we had our two small kids with us). It's really small. Alot of pedlers selling crap (including fake ISOMS). BTW. The ISOMS I saw were really expensive.

    Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if we'll end up going to Tulum or not, or even to Playa or Cancun. If we do, I wouldn't buy ISOMS anywhere but Casa del Habano. I know anything outside of that in Mexico is definitely going to be fake. I bought a fake ISOM in Cozumel purposely to see if I could spot some of the differences. The ash looked like burnt plastic and the taste was horrible.

    I'm probably out, that's a long way away, but I guess that's what I get for living in the boonies.

    the B&M i go to in Dover isnt really a lounge but he has a couple chairs and couches to chill out at and he is a good guy. Been introducing him to the MOW line..

    Also not sure if you guys in maine can host maybe that might work also.

    Not to change anything up since I suggested Victory bar but I just found another Cigar bar in Worcester and I use to work there when It was a regular bar. It is roomier and looks cool just a thought. http://www.cigarmastersworcester.com/index.htm

    I was at Cigar Masters for the Pats - Ravens Game! It was a really good take! I talked to a buddy that said that this was quite bigger than Victory and has a much better selection. They were also cool to let you smoke your own as long as you bought cigars - basically 1 for 1. If you dont buy, they are going to charge you a cutting fee. --And before you bash the store -- its MA law that in order to smoke inside 60+% of your revenue must come from the sale of tobacco. If they let people bring their own the revenue would drop and they would lose their grandfather to smoke inside. Once they lose their liscense they cannot get it back......

    Sounds cool. Hey I'm a contractor and I don't like when a customer wants to buy all their own *** either for slightly diff reason and the same, it is a buss so the objective is to make money selling product so I understand. Sounds good to me I've been to Victory several times and I know the layout of Cigar masters so I'd for one would vote Cigar masters as it would be a new place for me! Selfish I know........

    No worries. I think we got 5 Deffinates unless something changes. And 2 of us might bring one or two more people.
