Just wondering if there were any good B&M's or cigar bars in the area worth checking out.

    Not as many as you would think, the Carolinas being known for tobacco. This is cigarette country. They also have loy=ts of "smoke shops" that specialize in glass pipes. Real nice place. Nice downtown walking areas, nature very close, views, etc.

    Yea, it's been a few years since I've been there. Definately a nice little hippy town though, food, art, music. Gonna be a fun trip.

    I love Asheville, it's definitely an ecclectic community. Cool shops, restaurants, live music and a big time hedonistic vibe. Having said that, I don't know of any good B&M's and knowing the attitude around there, you'd probably get more crap smoking a cigar walking down the street than you would if you were smoking a joint.
    Have a fun trip. Don't eat the brownies

    I was in asheville a couple years ago and wondered downtown one night and found the streets closed off a beer garden set up and Keller Williams and a few other bands playing for free under an overpass. It was freekin awesome, one of the craziest nights I can remember.

    I just moved to Asheville from Raleigh, where we had many great B&M's and Cigar Bars. Asheville on the other hand only has 3 B&M's that I have found so far. You are in luck however, there is one pretty good shop with a great group of people that hang out there. B&B Tobacconists. 377 Merrimon Avenue http://www.bbtobacconists.com/index.html If you are there on a Tuesday or Thursday around lunch, ask for the guy from Raleigh. Mike

    Good find. I'll actually be getting into town Fri. eve. Meeting some friends that live down there for Bele Chere.

    We went to Belle Chere Friday evening as well, had a good time. Music was pretty good, people were interesting. If you are in town of Wednesday (August 3rd) there is a cigar dinner happening at: Sazerac's of Asheville 29 Broadway Asheville, NC Runs from 5 to 9. Buy one of their sticks and Altadis will give you one free. Mike

    No lie there. Downtown hippie, and redneck in the hills. With a smattering of regular folks around. Still not a bad place to live so far.
