My SPIFF Wednesday at the Nat Sherman Townhouse

Nat-Sherman-Logo-480x330

As most FTNYC readers know, I’m a huge fan of Nat Sherman. Scratch that, it is my single favorite cigar lounge in New York City, and here is the reason, distilled into its simplest form:

The Nat Sherman team knows what kind of customer experience it stands for, and the team goes above and beyond to deliver that experience to customers.

What do I mean by “above and beyond?” I mean, they don’t just sell cigars – they sell an experience. Take SPIFF Wednesdays. If you visit Nat Sherman between about 4pm and 6:30pm on Wednesdays and spend $10 (basically, buy a cigar), Nat Sherman will treat you to a free manicure and shoeshine.

You heard right: free.

I dropped in last Wednesday with a friend to smoke a cigar and realized that I had dropped in on the right day! So, I grabbed a cigar (Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary toro) and sat down on the shoe shine chair. The shiner was friendly, professional, and did a fantastic job shining my shoes, all while I sat and smoked a cigar and conversed with my friend.

That is service you just don’t get at more than a handful of cigar lounges in the country.

Here’s a description of SPIIF from a recent Nat Sherman e-newsletter:

Come in and get Spiffy on us…EVERY Wednesday! Enjoy a complimentary manicure and shoeshine when you make a same-day in-store purchase of $10 or more.

SPIFF for Men, offers the quintessential experience for the modern man’s grooming needs. We offer one-stop shopping for all your traditional barbershop services like haircuts, straightedged shaves and shoeshines as well as hot towel treatments, waxes, manicures and pedicures.

It goes without saying that, next chance you get, drop by on a Wednesday and enjoy a shoe shine and manicure.

Cigar, Cigars Collects Coats for the Needy

It is always nice to see the cigar industry giving back to the community. A retailer in Philly recently started a “smoking jackets” coat drive, asking customers to bring in lightly worn jackets for charity purposes. PhillyBurbs.com reports on it, and quotes the owner of Cigar, Cigars saying:

“We wanted to do something to help the communities that have supported us for so long. It can get very cold at this time of the year so I’m sure the coats will be put to good use” said Cigar, Cigars’ Scott Atkinson, who coordinated the project.

We can always use more B&M owners like this. If you live in PA, I encourage you to stop by and drop off a coat.
