2. an asian market that has a huge raw fish department and smells funky, similar to "fubon" in portland.
3. CIGAR SHOP. (does not carry bongs and hookah materials)

we've already been to a few places, but have been severely disappointed. mainly, we want a good cigar shop, we're so stressed from not being satisfied with these other stores we need a good smoke now, and we're not pot heads so the head shops in downtown do us no good.
also, are there any good butcher shops besides "benedettis"

Ugh, doncha just hate it when you move to a brand new place expecting it to have the EXACT same type of stores as the place you just moved from and are then ultimately disappointed?

What?
What's that you say? Try something new?? Experience local flavor??
NEVER!!!

You have very specific desires as to how the business should do their thing. If you don't find what you want just go back to Portland and buy what you want. No matter where you move to there will be things the last place had the new one doesn't but imerse yourself in the new...

Ah, did you try Rich's Cigar Store web site? You know the place on Adler and 9th downtown Portland?

Rich's Cigar Store-Over 100 Years of Excellence

If you know the brand you want, just order it and it arrives by UPS.

There are other fine Cigar stores on the Web with some Good prices.
