I’m going to Calgary on Business and I’m wondering are there any great shops I need to stop in for cigars. Any help is appreciated!!

Calgary, Alberta, Canada?

Well first: hopefully you're prepared for the sticker shock of tobacco taxes in Canada.  Most cigars are going to be priced in the $30-$50 range. With that said, you definitely need to go see my guy Adam at Cheap Smokes & Cigars Calgary West.

After that you've got Joseph at Zigarren on Macleod Trail. The third shop(s) I would recommend is Tobacco Outlet, there's a few locations.

Between Adam and Joseph they have more inventory than anyone else possibly in Western Canada.

Edit: Two things to add here. None of the shops in Calgary have indoor lounges, although the law was changed a few years ago to allow for it, the process is complicated and cost prohibitive. Second, tobacco laws in Canada means you have to be accompanied into the humidor and you're technically not supposed to handle the product until it's paid for.

I assumed things would be very expensive there. But the chance to smoke a nice Cuban cigar in Canada would be great. Thank you so much for the information.

As Alberta has a private liquor distribution system you may find an excellent single malt or two. 

Many other provinces in Canada are government run and selection isn't the same. 

If that's your thing of course.

When are you coming to Calgary? The weather might be good enough for a garage or backyard smoke.
