#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

I need a retail store name.

I coundn't sleep at all last night due to dreaming of a name for my new retail shop. Any creative minds out there would be appreciated.

Here is what the store will be about. Basicly a Cigar shop Emporium. This will not be just any full blown cigar shop. It will have a Cigar Humidor display ( 4' wide X 6' tall ) to start out with but hopefully grow to a 10' x 20' humidor room. Cigar and pipe accessories, CBG's and other type of instruments, etc...old fashion candy counter, chess boards, poker chip sets, dart boards, crimage boards, dominoes, t-shirts, inlaid globes, collector knives, Sharpening equipment and services. e-smoke devices, Whiskey flasks, wine accessories, shot glasses, beer mugs and stines, wooden ships, pool sticks, etc......Basicly things that flow in a home from back porch patio, bar room, billard room, poker room, home study library (den / office), living room, green room, etc.......

I need a short name that will relate all of what I will have without having Cigar or smoke in the name.

Something that makes people take notice in this slow economy.

Thank you for any suggestions.

James Bush

In my tourist area, you will see every catchy shop name you can think of.One thing I have noticed is the fancier the name the more time the people OUTSIDE the shop spend trying to decide what the shop really sells.
The public is funny sometimes, they'll go right past a shop rather then take the time to go in and see whats really in there if the name isnt simple enough to tell them whats in there.

How about "Man Depot" you could add a high end tool section as well, if you do I will need the address.... LOL fortunately you have some serious suggestions as well as some good alternative names that might make fun reading if your business does a newsletter... Here's to you and your success.... Jim

James, I have to wonder why you are excluding Cigar and Smoke from your name if that is the primary purpose of the shop. Donny Deutsch would argue with that. And shouldn't your name be about your product/service and not about the economy? People would notice "Gone Bust" but good luck with that commentary on the economy and a doomsayer for a starting business. How about "Ashley's". Ashely doesn't have to be a real person, has some hint of the tobacco industry and could be a name that people would feel warm about with other items in your emporium.

BTW, I am looking for a pile of empty cigar boxes, less than $1 a box, all the same size, and around 3" height (maybe around 3x7x9 for example) just for storing stuff, but i'd like pretty much all the same size, not assorted. Any ideas where to go? I found an emporium that throws them away, and would sell them but cannot guarantee any consistent sizes.
