The Cigar Vault - Brooklyn, NY

[goyankees]

I am dealing with some allergies this morning so with my taste buds not being up to speed I decided to give a review to my favorite place to purchase cigars in my neighborhood.

The Cigar Vault is located in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn, NY on Avenue Z between East 17th and East 18th Street. Despite having some nice size to it this B&M lacks a smoking room to enjoy your stogies and even with that drawback The Cigar Vault is hands down the best stocked location in Brooklyn.

The owner Joe is a very friendly guy who will go the extra mile to make sure his customers are happy. You get no bullshit from him as he is a straight shooter unlike many other retail establishments. He also has one of the best Fuente selections in the city of New York just make sure you ask for what you want because it is not always on the self. He does this to make sure those who really enjoy the Opus, Untold Story, and WOAM get them.

Finally, the prices can't be beat. Easily cheaper then 20% then a lot of other local B&Ms if not more. At first you ask how does he do it, but with prices that low and an inventory so amazing many of times I go in for 2 smokes and walk out with well over $100 in merchandise.

The next time you are in Brooklyn, be sure to pay him a visit and let him know "Big Barry" sent you... I am sure you will not be disappointed!

Pros: Walk in Humidor, Selection, Prices
Cons: No place to sit & smoke.

4.5 out of 5 stars.
