If you are visting Raleigh or Durham and you are looking for a great stick.......there is a place called Amendola Family Cigar Co. It's located at 1214 University Drive in Durham. From Raleigh, it is no less than a twenty to thirty minute drive. Jeffrey Amendola is the owner and he has some of the best boutique cigars in the country. When I met him, he was very humble, passionate and a true aficionado. He hand rolls in his lounge but has a factory in the D.R. and Honduras. The sticks remind me of Davidoff, Rocky Patel and the taste is very very clean. Www.amendolafamilycigarco.com. is the website. My understanding through other patrons is that alot of Celebrities have had the pleasure of smoking his sticks and enjoyed them. The lounge is small but quaint. Mr. Amendola is from Boston and has ties to the New York scene as well. I had a great time in his lounge and when I told him I was headed to NY, he replied "Check out shops in Brooklyn. My sticks are there!"

You're out.

If I want a stick I'll go out in the woods and get one.

Both Empire locations (Raleigh & Apex) closed but the former owners have re-opened shops in both areas separately.

Speaking for all of Boston, we do not smoke sticks.
