QUOTES OF THE WEEK:

The current tax code is a daily mugging. - Ronald Reagan

People don't start wars, governments do. - Ronald Reagan

Over-sized, socialist governments are only good in two places, heaven and hell. In heaven it's not needed, in hell, they deserve it.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. - Ronald Reagan

May you live in interesting times..... - Old chinese curse.

NEWS & EVENTS


Weekends have been a lot of fun! Music, cold beer, red or white wine, great smokes, who could ask for more. Come on down and enjoy .

Check out our beautiful lounges....

I apologize!!!!

I realize, after being in business since 1955, that lots of old farts that smoke cigars don't like having any women around. I have lots of girls in the place. So.. because I have four thousand square foot place, I am going to go out and buy "Mens Room" signs on one of my lounges so that no females go into that room. Hopefully the fellows that are "heterophobic" (scared of girls) will feel more comfortable...?

We are currently serving a lovely assortment of St. Francis, Beringer, Beulieu Vineyards, Alexander Valley and St. Supery wines along with Korbel Champagne. We also serve Heineken, Sierra Nevada, Bud, & Bud Light, Anchor Steam, Anderson Valley Boondt Ale and, by popular request, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer as well as Pelligrino Water and sodas.

The wonderful Flavia coffee and brewer has been a tremendous success. These coffees and teas are always available with your fine cigar.

REVIEW FROM BAY AREA CIGAR PAGE

Mark and Gioioa have truly created a smoker's paradise among the industrial warehouses of 21st Avenue in San Mateo. Humboldt still has the absolute best prices in Northern California on cigarettes and cigars, and you cannot beat the laid back, comfortable, friendly atmosphere they have created. If you are lucky, you'll hear a bit of live music while you are there too.

The lounges are reminiscent of a 1980's living room complete with 2 pool tables, couches, chairs, a television, a touch of neon, and those materialistic 80s posters with attractive women flaunting the advantages of a high net worth.

The front of Underwood's shop still houses his commercial cigarette business. Simply head to the back room to enter the cigar-smoker's paradise. Underwood's well-seasoned walk-in humidor is always at 70% -- and is obsessively checked twice per day, 7 days a week. His recent additions to his humidor include such heralded selections as Graycliff, Avo 787s and Signatures, and the Reserva Figurado La Gloria Cubanas -- all at prices that are tough to beat unless you go online.

After making your selection, enjoy your smoke at the front counter for interesting conversation with all the interesting folks that come in, or use the complementary lounges. Enjoy the ongoing "open mic" music and cigar events. A quote from Mark Underwood says it all, "be kind, be cool, be conscious."
