Bdawg says:  Portland is certainly not a very cigar friendly town (with few exceptions).  So I was happy to stumble upon this unique cigar store in downtown Portland.  (They actually have 2 locations downtown.  They have a long pipe and cigar accessories counter along one wall, and a cigar counter and small humidor along the other.  Along the third wall and filling the rest of the room are magazine racks.  Hundreds and hundreds of magazines on every topic from every local.  There is no seating.  (The owner does not want the homeless folks camping out in his store.)  But you can smoke in the store.  They actually encourage it.  So grab a local coffee on the street, pick out a cigar, light it up and peruse the many magazines in the shop.  

Magazines and a stogie!
