Good catch !! That cigar on the right is definitely fake in the FB pic... He also sells opus, but has only been around a year and didn't seem to receive any opus in his holiday shipment...

I thought someone said that guy was a close friend of the Fuente family ?  I think there are pics of him and Carlito together on his FB page...

Carlito is part owner of this store? You sure on that point Taps?

This is a hole in the wall kind of joint last time I was there, not really what I would expect from someone who I would think would be concerned about his image / standing in the cigar community.

Positive. Carlito fronted the guy all the money for the store... There remodeling it all. It's right up from the sands casino. Scotty sent me there when I was home. Very nice guy.

I have a buddy that lives 5 mins from Sands in Bethlehem and he smokes a lot, but he always goes to the Wooden match or the CI place there, and has never even mentioned this shop to me.

One of these weekends when the weather breaks, I am going to try to catch you at the match... I know a bunch of guys that do a monthly herf there, its just a bit of a drive for me, and once I get there and start drinking and smoking, I don't want to leave to drive back home... especially if its one of the hot bartenders !
