First and last visit to Mike's Havana House in Antwerp

Totally overjoyed and overwhelmed by the Christmas spirit, I went shopping with Radia for presents in Antwerp today. When we came close to Mike's Havana House, I really wanted to go in, because I have heard so much about it: they don't only sell cuban cigars, but they also sell art, food, and books. Small (personal) issue is they only sell cuban cigars..who are very overrated these days..

The place looks really nice, very big, with a grand humidor (though it wasn't very wide). The mood looked right there too, lots of people enjoying themselves.

The only problem was the arrogant man who was working there! Not only did he try to make smart remarks like it was the first time I was buying a cigar, but he also said it was good after I took 3 cigars..he looked at me and said, you will do fine with 3 cigars, that's enough..

Really terrible!
Radia was disgusted as well, and it really ruined our day out.
So first and last time at Mike's havana house..too bad.

Was it perhaps the owner hiself, Michel Permeke ?
It is known in Antwerp as a very arrogant person.

There is a new management, the shop is now a La Casa Del Habano and the shopmanager Patrick is the most friendly salesman you will ever meet. That arrogant bastard now has his own shop, right around the corner from Mikes
