I sampled a B&M day before yesterday and was impressed. The humi appeared well stocked (to my limited perspective), and there was a good selection of quality accessories. In the back is a fully licensed bar and television - seats about 20 with good ventalation. There were two patrons watching the news and enjoying the leaf.

It was staffed by a really nice Korean lady - she told me her name but I've forgotten. She was knowledgable and gave me a detailed tour of the humi. She was honest, gently querying me on my knowledge and preferences. I wound up with 4 selections: Partagas 1845, Occidental Reserve, Arturo Fuente Grand Reserve, and a Carlos Torano 1916. $2.50 for the Occidental and about $8 each for the others. There were several sample bags on the wall. Included in each was one stick with no band and with 'its a boy' ont he wrapper. When I asked, she acknowledged that the bags were low quality for one-time buyers (duh).

I'm new to the delights of cigars, but not fresh off the bus. My gut tells me this lady deserves my business. I'll still most likely buy my dailies (at the moment, Rolys) on the Internet, and will take advantage of deals offered by online vendors, but I'll be visiting to buy and try new stuff. And...until my humi improves, I'll need to visit and pick up special trades and passes.

I have been there before and had actually a bad experience with the Korean lady. I was looking around in the Humi as I always do and taking my sweet time as I always do... When low and behold she comes in and ask if I need any help, I say "No thank you" and then she proceeds to tell me I should go ask one of the older gentlemen at the bar for some help because I may not know what I am looking for. I looked at her and said "I am fine and will decide on a cigar when I see it".

I have never been back to that place ever since. When I go to Denver on my vacations I usually bring my own because of the price difference.

I'm glad to see you had a good experience though.
