Good place to buy smokes in San Francisco

[montecristo#2]

I am looking for a good place to buy smokes in the San Francisco area and wanted to get some advice from the locals.

Sadly enough, I haven't found any good local cigar shops. I have found a couple of cigarette places that sell cigars, but they are way over-priced.

Even more sadly, the only place I have found with a good selection that is not way over-priced, but is still over-priced, is BevMo. The liquor might be cheaper, but the smokes sure are not. The same goes for andronico's, where the food, liquor and the cigars are over-priced.

There is a local place on 16th and irving, but he only sells hand-made cigars.

So far I have been buying smokes online, just wanted something a little closer to home.

thanks in advance.

Try Grants on Market Street near New Montgomery. They
have been around for about 80 years. Its pretty big and well established. Big selection of stuff. For a few sticks to try, thats the place to go. Expensive, but sometimes you need to support the B & M.
