Hi! I'm a New Yorker moving to Cambridge in three short weeks to start my Masters in theoretical physics. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good place to buy and/or smoke cigars in town (preferably near campus). Back at my undergrad there was an amazing cigar lounge and bar two blocks from my dorm (the Owl Shop in New Haven, if anyone's been!) and I'd love to find something like that. Barring that, I'd be curious to know where to pick up stogies in person or online.
I'm also wondering what the cigar market is like in the UK. I like to pick up my cigars online from a US site with great prices, great customer service, and I'm wondering if there's anything similar across the pond. I looked at one site which got recommended here, C. Gars, and it looks like they're significantly more expensive than American retailers, for example this:
average 13.5 pounds for a Rocky Patel! Which is way more than I'd pay to just have them shipped from the States, of course. I usually prefer to smoke non-Cubans, they're cheaper, just as good (if not better) quality, more consistent, and there's a ton more variety. Are there any good UK-based sites where I can pick up the best Nicaraguan, Dominican, etc. brands for comparable prices to US sites? e.g. Man o War, 5 Vegas, Oliva, and the like?
Would appreciate some help - some good sticks will definitely help me get through the slog of academia!
Can't wait to move out to the UK and anyone in the Cambridge area should let me know if they want to meet up for a herf.
