Castro's Back Room in Manchester is a cigar shop and lounge that exudes character. Located on the strip of Elm Street, it is described as one of the best and safest cigar shops, with a welcoming environment for people of all walks of life. The place has a great, excellent, and solid selection of cigars at good prices across its multiple stores, each with its own decor and personality. There is a bar in the back for a strong drink, making it a great place for a cigar and a drink.
The staff is consistently noted as super friendly, very funny, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, acting with hospitality even at closing time. The clientele is also friendly. The ambiance is nostalgic, with a fun lounge where smoking is part of the experience. The seating is plenty, worn, and broken in. The music, such as tunes from the 50's, adds to the character, and every square inch is decorated. Customers report feeling like part of the family and highly recommend it for a neat, well-worth-it stop.
Eric is awesome and I have known him for decades. He has more sports memerabilia that anyone I know. Check out his locations. You won't be disappointed. David
