Good cigars, especially the milder ones, really have to be cared for before you get it and that means a specialty store. My usual break-in for a first-timer is a Macanudo. If you ever find yourself in Verona/Oakmont, check out [Smoke N Guns](http://smokengunsoakmont.com/), a cigar/gun shop. Kind of intimidating; I went with a “regular” there. Cool atmosphere. ---

Cool atmosphere. That is still on my To Do list. I usually use Smoker Friendly on 19 just above the Wexford Flats, Spanky’s \ in Franklin, or City Tobacco in beautiful Edwardsville Pennsylvania. I can’t help it – I’m an old coal cracker with a big enough humidor to use the old home-town shop and blow a ton once or twice a year stocking up.
