When I was a smoker I occasionally went to the Owl Shop to indulge in a pack of Balkan Sobranie cigarettes. For a regular smoker they were too expensive to smoke every day and so I rationed them. For the rare smoker, these cigarettes are like an expensive dessert or fine liquor. You should never mindlessly smoke one just to feed your nicotine jones. This is to be enjoyed after a special meal or with really good coffee. They are an exceptionally smooth smoke with a nice flavor. As an ex smoker I don't preach nor support smoking and am only suggesting this to those who do smoke. The Owl Shop is the very last vestige of the old downtown that once bustled like Herald Square in NYC where 34th Street, Sixth Avenue, and Broadway converge. It's nothing like that now. So I'm a little sad about this but time constitutes change. I wish the owners good luck .
