Der Gaumen. Wir alle reden darüber. Aber was ist er? Es gibt den harten und weichen Gaumen, welche die obere Wand des Mundes bilden, doch diese sind für die Aussprache zuständig, nicht für den Geschmack. Was ist dieser mysteriöse Gaumen, über den wir Zigarrenraucher stets sprechen, wenn wir uns auf Geruch und Geschmack beziehen?
St. Croix Cigar Company | Cigar Friendly, Hudson (WI)
Even though this lounge technically lies in the state of Wisconsin, chances are you will be driving from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area to reach it. St. Croix Cigar Company is located in the absolutely beautiful township of Hudson, Wisconsin.

SERAFÍN DE CUBA: HISTORY
As you make a left onto Dodecanese Boulevard, one can see a cigar boutique immediately on the left-hand side of the road. This oasis of the leaf is the Serafín de Cuba cigar shop. Owner Arnold Serafín and I sat down with a couple of cigars and an espresso and discussed the history of his delightful store.
Metro Cigars | Cigar Friendly, Wisconsin
Just a bit Northwest of Milwaukee lies the village of Germantown, Wisconsin. Here in Germantown lies the wonderful cigar establishment that is called Metro Cigars. Myself being a German teacher by profession, and the fact that this lounge is in the town of Germantown, I am inclined to liken the environment of Metro Cigars to a term in German which really has no translation into any other language.

Head North on Alt-US19 in Pinellas County, Florida and you will pass through the tiny downtown of Palm Harbor. Just past the downtown area on the inland side of the road is Holy Smoke Cigar Cafe.

Uhle’s Tobacco Company
In 1939, a man named John H. Uhle opened up a tobacco and pipe shop in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mr. Uhle would sit in the front of his store and repair pipes and blend pipe tobacco throughout the 1940’s.
