Heading to Boston in a.m. need cigar friendlies

[alnpd-cl]

I need a list of placed to go in Boston where cigars are not only allowed but encouraged. I will be staying at the Intercontinental arriving Mon. & departing Fri. morning.

If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. Oh and btw I am taking the train in so I will not have a car.

Ya got three options:

In the Back Bay Area (near the Prudential Tower and John Hancock Tower)

Cigar Masters
745 Boylston Street
Boston
617-266-4400
10 a.m. to midnight
http://www.cigarmasters.com/

Gets very smoky. Decent selection of cigars, but costly. They will hit you with a $10 lighting fee if you bring your own smokes. They serve booze. Trendy kind of place and fills up, so don't go too late.

Churchill's Lounge
40 North Street
Boston
617-227-0750
9 a.m. to midnight
http://www.calligraphyboston.com/churchills.html

Upscale place near Faneuil Hall. Not sure if they have a liquor license and their web site is very out of date.

Stanza dei Sigari
292 Hanover Street
Boston
617-227-0295
5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
http://www.stanzadeisigari.com/

Basement Cigar lounge in the North End (Boston's answer to Little Italy) Also can get smoky, but does not fill up as fast as Cigar Masters. They do have a liquor license.

CA Magazine did a review of these three a few years ago. Link here:

and after you go to Basement on Hannover Street, Visit Mike's and get a "stuffed lobster tail" The sweetest desert in the world man. Makes my teeth hurt just thinking of it.
