Any Philadelphians and or general denizens of Eastern PA have a must-see tobacconist I should visit?
I'll be in town for a show Sunday night with friends and when I wake Monday, I of course plan on filling my recovering body with an obscene amount of steak and cheese- which I'm pretty sure I'll need a proper smoke after.

Cheers,

Justin

I think Holt's is one that showed up pretty close to the hotel when I searched. Maybe I'll check it out if I have some time. Thanks!

Well worth the visit, IMO.

It looks first rate...says this is the upstairs...
www.philly.com/philly/blogs/the-insider/Ashton-Cigar-Bar-lights-up.html

Light from floor-to-ceiling front windows reaches to the back, along an 18-seat white marble serpentine bar and surrounding high-top tables. There are two flat-screen televisions behind the bar and a 3-D wooden piece of art from local painter Michael P. Rocco depicting rolling tobacco fields.

The Levins also want to reach out to nonsmokers with 200 whiskeys, signature cocktails and a state-of-the-art air-purification system.

All told, general manager David Marks (Silk City, N 3rd) has 300 spirits plus six draft beers and 20 more in bottles, a variety of eight to 10 wines by the glass, and charcuterie and cheese plates.

Hours: 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday, noon to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
