LordAnubis Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 ... Is that all plain packaged? Or are ALL of the cigars in white boxes?
Quint Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 It's the new Davidoff store that's opening in Tampa, Fla. It's allegedly the largest one in the world. It is supposed to open this spring. If you expand the picture it looks like they are the Davidoff boxes with markings on them, just hard to see.
garbandz Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Sure will have to sell a lot of cigars to pay the rent there.................
Popular Post shlomo Posted March 17, 2015 Popular Post Posted March 17, 2015 I have to say, it looks kind of sterile. Missing some life/colour/richness imo. 5
Quint Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 I have to say, it looks kind of sterile. Missing some life/colour/richness imo. Well the Davidoff room I visited in Littleton, NH of all places in the middle of nowhere, It's actually Rae's cigars I believe, anyway they carry almost exclusively Davidoff cigars, they were very snobbish, condescending, and snooty snoot, also had that sterile high end jewelry store feel.
tmac77 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I have to say, it looks kind of sterile. Missing some life/colour/richness imo. Agreed 100%. I could never be comfortable in a room like that.
Quint Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Could you please pass me the grey poupon............
westg Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I have to say, it looks kind of sterile. Missing some life/colour/richness imo. Davidoff library shhhhhhhhh 4
Scroats Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 If it makes anyone feel better, I will hit that shop after a fishing trip to the sunshine skyway in St Pete. I'll make sure I have on boots, jeans and a t shirt and smell faintly of fish guts.I'll let you know if I get kicked out 2

When I went to the Davidoff Store in NYC I had a similar experience. A mid 20's looking guy in jeans and a T-Shirt often gets that response in a lot of cigar stores, I guess The staff were friendly enough eventually but seemed surprised when I started enquiring about some of the higher end Padrons they had in stock instead of grabbing a handful of their sub $5 per stick lines (like they suggested) If it makes anyone feel better, I will hit that shop after a fishing trip to the sunshine skyway in St Pete. I'll make sure I have on boots, jeans and a time shirt and smell faintly of fish guts. I'll let you know if I get kicked out They wont kick you out but you will probably have to tackle one of the staff to get them to help you Also, they might not let you in their walk in humidor (if they have one) by yourself, at least, that's what happened to me

Duty free in PVG Shanghai is like that, they just hover over you constantly. Good thing their prices are rubbish, no need to repeat that experience.

RickHendeson Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I have NEVER been in any cigar shop worldwide that let me in the humidor by myself. Diebels in Kansas City would
polarbear Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I have NEVER been in any cigar shop worldwide that let me in the humidor by myself. In my time in NYC Davidoff was the only store that wouldn't let me in the walk in by myself Someone led me into the walk-in and stood there for the full 25 min I was browsing. I even kept my hands in my pockets the whole time In every other shop I visited one of the sales staff would wander in after a couple of min to see if I needed a hand, but if I said I was just browsing they'd let me be
Habana Mike Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah, in my experience 9 times out of 10 is that while there's generally an offer of assistance, if I decline I'm left alone to peruse.
westg Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I have NEVER been in any cigar shop worldwide that let me in the humidor by myself. Even airports....
Quint Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 It's amazing how threads get a life of there own lol Been 50/50 in my experience, like others I'll be browsing alone then somebody will come in and inquire if I need any help, others are basically up your ass the whole time. I usually don't let it bother me and my even pick there brain a bit, then just do what I usually do sniff and feel and inspect until I find what I want. I drives some of them crazy....
Puros Y Vino Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Way too sterile. I prefer the "catcher's mitt" look and feel of the Partagas Factory store anyday. That place drips history. 1
