Yesterday walking in Honolulu smoking a cigar I came upon a cigar store named Tobaccos of Hawaii on Atkinson Dr. As I walked in I was rudely told by the owner NO SMOKING. I jokingly made the comment "no smoking in the cigar store". He went off on me about how you can't drink in a liquor store so you shouldn't smoke in a smoking shop. Whatever. I tried to shrug off his unfriendly style and look at the cigars. As I asked a few questions he was no help. I should have walked out but was to lazy to try and find another shop since I am not from here. I bought a couple of Padrons, 1 Cohiba, and a Camacho anyway. Bottom line is even though I made a purchase I would never patronize this shop again and would not recommend it. Very unhelpful/unfriendly!
p.s. I have been in a lot of cigar shops that don't allow smoking and that is fine. It was just the attitude here that offended.
