Ayras Liquor & Cigar Oak Creek — Local services in Oak Creek

A little disappointed. I’m a cigar aficionado and I dropped $100 on cigars I did notice they seemed a tad dry, but I also noticed that I didn’t see a separate a/c and even a humidification system in the humidor… should have been a red flag, sad because they have nice cigars and a collection that likely had had to cost a lot of money- and it seems they are being cheap to save on costs? But someone needs to educate the owners that proper cigars like the ones they have need to have stable humidification and temperature! Fluctuations in either can lead to harsh cigars that have lots of problems, again harsh taste, burn issues, wrapper splitting etc and it’s because the binder and wrapper aren’t burning together properly. Cigars require a goldielox setting, and when the binder filler has dried out more than the wrapper A the balance of flavor that expert blenders designed this impressive cigars to have is lost and what you have is just warm tobacco flavor and harsh flavors from the wrapper! It’s inexcusable when you are paying $10-$15 a stick and it’s 100 percent controllable! Cigars should be stored in a temperature controlled environment 24/7 of 64-70 degrees! Wild fluctuations or even minor ones for extended periods of time can cause issues with binder wrapper that I’ve experienced! They had a hygrometer read 66 percent, a tad dry but is a stable humidity level if accurate thing is you can’t trust those cheap analog dials especially if they weren’t seasoned! If you aren’t treating cigars they way they deserve to be why waste money as a business in these! They need to be rehydrated and brought back to life over time in a proper humidor and they may never have the original intended quality restored! True cigar aficionados be warned! These cigars perform poorly and are harsh and I guarantee you not up to par with how they otherwise ought...

Very helpful and friendly staff. The store definitely has some unique whiskey as can be seen by several YouTube influencers in their bourbon hunting videos. I made a special trip through the Milwaukee area based on those videos, and am very glad I did as I procured a new-to-me bottle of American Single Malt whiskey that is not common in my local area. If headed around Chicago or live in the area, I definitely recommend stopping here. You'll come away having had some enjoyable conversation with the...
