WOW - Anto and KJ provided great service! My experience was fantastic!!
It was my first time in Cigars by Chivas and after just 5 minutes, I already knew I loved it.
I met a co-worker, Bruno, who is new to cigars. He arrived before me about 4pm on Friday after work to play chess and enjoy some cigars. When I got there, Bruno had the board set up was smoking a cigar suggested for him and he told me they cut and lit it for him. They had suggested one for me, which was waiting for me - custom made for this shop by Davidoff. It was a great stick! I highly recommend !!
Over the next 5 hours and many games, I sparked up an Olivia V Melanio Reserve (past cigar of the year), A My Father La Opulencia, and a Davidoff Nicaragua- this last stick is my new #1. It was so fantastic I bought 2 more to bring home. It might be too much for less experienced aficionados but when you know cigars and tell yourself this is a good cigar, this is a great cigar, this is a really great cigar, over and over with each puff - you just know!
Now, this is a Davidoff-certified shop with high-end cigars being their specialty but for those seeking super cheap cigars, I saw some Acids and JAVAs (mint and latte), but not too many under $10, so if you re looking for cheap cigars it might not be your first choice. If you are willing to try most any cigar they carry, you will not be disappointed. I encourage visitors to ask and trust Anto or KJ to recommend a stick and, if you do, I would be very surprised if you don t enjoy it very much.
Over the time we spent there, I got to know Anto and KJ, and see their great customer service for many visitors who came in and out. I am quite experienced with premium cigars and can tell you, my visit was over the top because of them treating us as close friends, plus the location has many open windows to people watch, allowing an exceptionally nice breeze keeping the air fresh inside. The setting permits those wishing to watch sports or, like Bruno and I, to have quiet conversation - I will be back and will be bringing others, too.
Thanks so very much. Just fantastic!! Also, they accept debit and credit, plus ApplePay, which makes paying very convenient.
