Great Cigar Stores of the World (said in a Clarkson stylee!)
You could try the Decent Cigar Shop at the top of Grafton Street in Dublin. Good staff and some cigars are a lot cheaper than the UK. Also, if you're lucky, you might get locked in for a wee smoke!
By the way, this is my first post. Hi folks!
No man has the right to fix the boundary of a nation.
No man has the right to say to his country, "Thus far shalt thou go and no further."

Hey Celsis, welcome and post a note in the newbe section to get a proper welcome.
Make sure you drink plenty of Guiness before you go, not sure whether it travels to Lanarkshire
Decent Cigar has a good selection, staff are nice and free cuban espresso while browsing.
Walk down Grafton Street, past the Molly Malone statue and you get to Peterson's. Mostly pipes but they have a small walk-in with Cubans and non. A bit of digging here, you might find some aged stuff.
Two doors down from there is JJ Foxes. Very nice shop, good selection and lots of aged stuff with a little digging around again. plenty of older Els etc. still on the shelves. My favourite shop in Dublin.
We used to have a LCDH here but it closed because it was crap.
So that's the three cigar shops in Dublin, all within 150 yards of each other.
About ten blocks from the Liberty Bell is Holt's Cigars in Philadelphia. The shop is divided into three sections: the accessories boutique up front (also some nice fountain pens); the huge humidor in the middle; and the lounge in the back. The lounge is small, but it's comfortable when it isn't crowded. The staff is professional and always a pleasure. Holt's has been in business since 1898. They have a second location in the suburbs, but I haven't been to that one.
If you want food, drink, and a bigger lounge than Holt's has, you can go right next door to Mahogany, an upscale cigar lounge.
I've been to JR Cigars in North Carolina, and it is huge. The building itself and much of the inside looked like a discount club warehouse, but I was definitely in cigar country when I went into the humidor.
Nat Sherman's is on my list of places to go next time I'm in Manhattan.

Great work Lou, thanks. I have Nat's on my list too. I used to go to Manhattan once a year for a big exhibition and always had a day or two lay over before it started but that was before I really got into cigars. Now I don't go...
Few snaps here (sorry for the poor quality) of Casa Fuente, which is in Caesars Palace Forum shops, Las Vegas.
Great selection of Fuente cigars, including Ashton and Diamond Crown etc. Great drinks and lovely waitresses, recommended if your in Vegas, you can smoke your own also and have a coffee listening to the Cuban music, I had a nice Ashton VSG here with a Mojito.
Here's some snaps of the bar and Humidor.
They also have a good range of lighters etc...
This was my favourite place to smoke with a drink after dinner, you can smoke in the main gaming area of the casino, but the constant noise of slots is not very relaxing, the Palazzo had a lounge bar with live music which was also good.
