Tip Pace’s cigars

Before cigar bars flourished into fashion in the early 1990s, Tip Pace was selling dozens of premium brands out of two humidors at his Feliciana Seafood/Exxon convenience store in St. Francisville (next door to The Myrtles). He and his brother, John, a Baton Rouge attorney, buy bundles from various houses and split the boxes. Pace chews on his cigars as much as he smokes them, so a good one will last for an entire day. “Nothing is worse than a dried out cigar,” says Pace. “Cubans are usually too dry by the time you get them. I prefer a good Dominican.”
