Hope you factored in some time for Reading Terminal Market.  If you like to eat, you gotta spend an hour there

Where are you staying? If you're downtown, there is a Holt's at 16th and Walnut. They have an awesome Ashton Cigar Bar upstairs. You can buy cigars in the store and take them up to the cigar bar and smoke them there. FYI, Holt's has an every day special "Buy 4, get 1 free".

If you're going to be outside of the city, let me know where and I can advise of other places as well. 

Depending on the time, I may be able to meet up. What time were you thinking?

From where you are, I would suggest going to Holt's downtown. You can do other site seeing in the city and it's very close to Rittenhouse Square that has some good shops and restaurants. The Reading Terminal Market also has some great places to eat but that is over closer to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the Constitution Center. Definitely worth a stop if you're over there. 

Just so you're aware, NJ has a 30% cigar tax while PA is, for the moment, still no tax on cigars. So crossing the bridge for your cigars also makes monetary sense. 

As for meeting up, center city is about a 45 minute drive for me, so unfortunately I couldn't really "play it be ear". If you know when you plan to be there, I can try and make it happen, but otherwise, enjoy the city!! 

Go Eagles!!!

Had an outstanding time in Philly. Went to Holt's and the Ashton cigar bar, seen Rocky Balboa, and the bell. Had a Cheesesteak at Sonny's and finished the night at the Red Owl Tavern. The fans at the stadium were great had a fun time, a lot of them booed use and told us to go home got a lot of ribbing. We even had a small party after the game with some of fans.  :biggrin:

Thanks to this thread I was able to recommend this Holts joint to my boss, there on business this week.  Already got a pic texted from there, I'm a herf hero tonight, thanks guys.
