I will change my review because you sir did make some good points.However I did not bring an open beverage into your place of business, it was an unopened can of monster Java , and sir you did take it out of my hand as soon as I came in.And sir, about your restaurant reference , I did not bring my own food and want to use your silverware , I purchased a cigar and was simply wanting to enjoy my cigar that I purchased from you in your lounge with my preferred beverage, as I cannot drink alcohol because I was going to be driving .

Alex has built this impressive establishment from the ground up and when you respect the business, respect is shown in return. I highly...
Read moreExcellent Cigar and Pipe shops! Alex was amazing, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Every time I travel I try to stop at a local shop. Today was no different, and Alex’s shop was on top of the list of shops in the Joplin area. When I stop at a shop I typically challenge the shop to (based on my go to sticks) introduce me to something new and special. Well let me tell you, Alex has passed this test with flying colors. Don’t let the one or two poor reviews keep you from stopping and checking out this fantastic place. Will shop again when in...
