At maybe 200 sq.ft., this elegant and richly appointed store in Tribeca is how all cigar stores should be: intimate, colorful and layered with the patina of use. Stopping in here is like going back to a time when men were men, and cigars and the requisite accoutrement combined to make a museum-like retail environment. Holding court in the photo is the redoubtable proprietor, Ivan Karp – art kingmaker of the sixties and seventies. 
The little shop adjoins his massive OK Harris gallery, one of the first art galleries in this iconic neighborhood. The neon sign is not bad either.
