Saludos,
Greetings, fans of Habana Port. Are you all ready for the weekend? I don't even have to ask as I know the answer to that question. Well, before you light your evening cigars with your complementary beverages, peruse this latest blog post. In this latest installment of our series on how to construct a retail cigar shop, we begin to see the details added. Trim, tile flooring and tasteful cedar walls have been chronicled during these dates. Now that I have that bout of alliteration out of my system, feast your eyes on the spectacle of our cigar shop's birth. Enjoy the pictures and be on the lookout for another update soon!

Notice the addition of the ceiling trim and the Humidor door trim.
Our flooring specialist, Steve, is a true professional and delivers only superior results. Excellent man and future Habana Port customer and friend.

Additional tiles have been placed.
Our Checkout station, display cases and cabinet for our pipe selection and merchandising came in today. The cherry wood will complement the decor of the cigar shop.

Our contractor is personally installing the Spanish cedar walls as the material is very costly and accounts for a large percentage of the construction costs.
Inside the Walk-in Humidor, the smell of freshly cut Spanish cedar saturates the air and heralds the coming of a holy temple that will showcase a great cigar selection.
Looking down the cigar accessories section of the store.

Working diligently inside the Humidor. Notice the installed door.
Ready for window installation.

I think the Humidor is ready for some lighting.
Until the next post, siempre fumando,
Habana Port
