While wondering around Boston, MA on a warm fall afternoon, I decided that it would be nice to find a nice cigar bar for a little break. Standing in Quincy Market, my choice was to visit Churchill's Lounge at David P. Ehrlich Co. at 40 North Street.
Upon entering the door, patrons find themselves facing a large walk-in humidor. I checked the door, and it was locked. Before I could even turn to ask for help, the proprietor, Barry Macdonald, was there with the key. He unlocked the door with a smile and offered a hello, then returned to his place behind the bar. I went in and viewed the selection, not entirely sure what I was looking for. The selection was not the largest I had seen, but after browsing through and assessing the inventory I found it to be of high quality with selections for nearly every smoker.
I picked out a cigar, and head to the bar to pay for the stick. Greeted with a smile, Barry process my purchase quickly. He tells me that Churchill's has been in business for about 11 years, and judging by the look of the establishment it has been a successful 11 years. A comfortable half-moon bar with tall high back stools is the start of the location. The room then opens up and is filled with an array of comfortable leather furniture, and inviting cafe tables. In the back is a set of humidor lockers, though shamefully I admit I did not get around to inquiring about rental.
I did not get to stay long, as I was in town for a training and only had an hour for lunch. If you find yourself in town, and looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy a beer and a cigar, stop down to Churchill's Lounge- you will not be disappointed. They are open from 9 AM to midnight on Monday and Tuesday, 9 AM to 1 AM Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 10 AM to 1 AM on Saturday, and noon to midnight on Sunday.
