Probably one of the best liquor stores I’ve visited. On a trip from Texas and I needed a good cigar. He’s got an EXCELLENT selection of premium cigars, and he’s knowledgeable about every one of them. He also knows his spirits, and the selection of bourbons and scotches was phenomenal. And he offers tastings! This will be my first stop every time I come to Decorah.

My go-to spot for cigars. Great selection of spirits too.

I'm giving them a 5 star because it was such a nice clean place and the fella gave me the information I needed to get what I wanted. I went in there to find Malibu which they did not have but they do have a lot of cigars and a fine liquors. Stop in if you're in the area.

Cannot recommended this place enough. Great selection, and customer service is outstanding. Can always talk through what I like/don’t in a drink or cigar and Steven points me in the right direction.

I just stopped in to this establishment, and received a fantastic recommendation for a rum that I have never encountered in my life! I’m so excited to hear what the recipient of this gift thinks! I also wanted to note that I couldn’t find my credit card this morning and was on a limited cash-only budget after a trip to the bank and local food co-op. When my order rang up a little bit over the amount that I had, the person who I suspect is the proprietor took what I had and shyly rejected my fawning over how sweet that was! What a guy! I promise you that you will find many fabulous offerings here—by a highly trained staff, and recommend that you shop here often and well. I look forward to my next visit, where I can repay this man’s kindness.
