A Hospitable Den of Japanese Whiskey and Boutique Cigars

You have a lot to be thankful for this year. —Family. —Friends. —Thanksgiving tacos. Add to that list of important people and tacos the triumphant return of Cigarbox. Yes, the once-celebrated smoke shop has risen from the ashes (sorry) just in time to ply you with post-Thanksgiving stogies, beer and Japanese whiskey. It’s open now on Dean Martin Drive. And your plan of action is really quite simple: 1) Step inside this hospitable den and wander into their state-of-the-art humidor. A knowledgeable fellow named Jason will help you make your selection from a variety of classics (like Romeo y Julieta) and more boutique options (like La Boheme). Then… 2) Cigar in hand, hit the bar for a draft beer. But once they acquire their license (should be next week), hit the bar for an aged spirit from a well-curated list that includes Hibiki 12-year whiskey and Ron Zacapa 23-year rum. Either way: hit the bar. 3) Recline in a rich, tufted-leather chair against a wall of exposed brick and light up. 4) Puff, sip, repeat. 5) Get ahead of work on Monday at a long table with outlets, wi-fi and lots of ashtrays. Better yet, don’t.
