OK, so I get to Richmond VA tonight............

[Newfie]

And I've been looking forward to this trip for weeks, and all the shopping possibilities here. I've done so much "study" on the stores in the area, where I want to go, where I don't, and asking advice to either confirm or put to bed the plans I've made.

First stop I planned to make was at an OVTC in Woodbridge. It was just off I-95 and said "Great place to browse, and have a smoke while relaxing waiting for traffic to die off.

Never saw the right exit. Missed it altogether.

Plan "B".

Uncle Mikey's. Next stop, a little out of the way, but looking at the prices and selection at his site, it's well worth it. Found it without too much problem, but there's a sign in the window. What does it say?

"Mr & Mrs Mikey are gone on vacation and will be back June 26th"!!

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :angry: Shit. I mean, I'm sure they're great people and deserve a vacation, but why now??

So, not far from there is an Outback. I figure, hell with it. Nothing like a honkin' big piece of barely cooked cow to make you feel better. So that's what I did while planning "Plan C". Left there about 7:30 PM

Plan "C".

Replanned my route to include another OVTC on Cary, just off I-195. Found that place pretty easy too. Got out of the car and looked at the place from across the parking lot. Hmmmmmmmm, looks pretty dark!! I walk up and it says "Closed, back at 9:30 tommorrow"!!!

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :0

Jeezuz, I'm batting 0 fer 3. I'm in (what I consider) a cigar mecca and I can't buy me a decent smoke!!!!

Well, there's always tomorrow. Wish me luck fellers!!!

Newf!!

I'm in Colonial Heights. Our office where I'll be working for the next couple of days is just 5 miles or so up I-95.

Hell, those shops are never closed!! Too bad I'm tied up all week or I'd show you a few others. Welcome to the area!

It's ok Newfie, there are more than enough stores in the DC area to compensate for your misadventures in Richmond...

Well, a nice place to smoke a cigar outside is at Legend Brewing Co. They've got a great deck, great food and their beer is fantastic. Also if ya get a chance, check out Havana59 down at the Farmer's Market downtown. Supposed to be great food and a nice place to enjoy a cigar.

Hey that's where I bought my 2003 Anniversary Sportster. Looking at selling it and getting something a little bigger.

Damn, that's some bad luck man. Colonial Heights eh? Spent many a day there when stationed at Ft. Lee.

Yea I agree with CC i forgot about Legends its a great place, But I think Havaa59 is still closed from the flood. At least it was three weeks ago.
