I'm originally from Hilo but now living in Oregon. Still got family back there and would love to go back and visit some day. People be too busy smokin' "other things" to be smoking cigars (and the "other things" are probably cheaper, too).
When I go back, I'll look you up and see if we can't get together a mini-herf.
Hey, for those on Oahu, what is a great smoke shop? I went to one on Ward, and it was pretty good; the owner said it was one of two places you can smoke-there and prison. I think it's called South Pacific or something. I went to another place just around the corner from Alamoana, and the selection was alright but the attendant didn't know anything. Just curious if there is a great spot or not. With all the tourists and rich folk, I figured there would be a mega-store on the level of JR, or great places like they have in Tampa.
There used to be a cigar lounge in Kapolei called the Hideaway or something like that but now I think it's just a bar, again due to the new smoking law.
If you want to herf some day, you can come by my friends shop in Waimalu, I can pm you to let you know when we plan to herf again?
