I literally live 4 minutes from the store(yes i have timed it) and let me tell you it is awesome. I have just started smoking cigars, about 2 months now, and I will say that the staff is great. I first walked in there with a list I made from reading people’s reviews online and one cigar band from a cigar that a friend gave me from cigar fest that he let me try and I had enjoyed. Now I am hooked and have spent $400 already.

The place is huge, the events they hold are great, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and the prices can’t be beat.

I got to meet Rocky Patel (he signed my humi), AJ Fernandez, and Cristian Eiroa already!!!!

Every time I now go to another cigar shop when I am out, or in Jersey I am always disappointed. I don’t think I can ever move away from Bethlehem because I am spoiled now. You should see CI’s shop downtown, that place is packed too!!!

Just to see my taste I so far really enjoy the La Aurora 1495 (I want to try a Preferido so bad), Gran Habano Corojo #5 (can’t wait until that event in September), and the Don Pepin Garcia Blue. That is just to name a few and there are so many I haven’t tried!!!!!! (oh, and the Nub Habano Torpedo, love it)

Jon W-
OK you got me with my contrdicting comments
I guess what I meant was, I’d prefer a smaller store that lacked the ‘regular’ cigars, but was rich in selection of great smokes. Basically quality over quantity is what I’ve found in a few of the smaller shops.

Now keep in mind, I make no money pushing Ed’s store, but his is a perfect example. VERY small, but great selection.

I won’t lie though… If CI was even remotely near my home, you’d catch me in there from time to time.

Thanks for the inside look! It is amazing to see the size of some of these places. Most of the time you just think of of them as an online store and not a B&M.

We need more videos like this!
