Royal Cigar is your typical neighborhood smoke shop. They cater to all comers: cigarettes, hookah/shisha, cigars, whathaveyou. This place gets my business because of the night-shift guy, Muhammad, pure and simple. He knows his stuff, he's honest, and he's a people person, whether you're sober or otherwise. He does matter-of-fact, ""give me my smokes, see ya later,"" or he can share his knowledge and set you up with something you haven't tried before. Bottom line, it's rare to find a guy who treats everyone with respect, and given my six months of patronage, I have yet to see or experience otherwise. Stop by after the bars and check it out for yourself.
