I stopped by on Sunday April 25 to restock my Oliva's and Xicar lighter fuel only to find out Fred had gone out of business. I inquired with the neighboring beauty shop owner who told me Fred had closed his doors about a month earlier. I wish now I had shopped more frequently at SP's if for nothing else than to say a sad goodbye to a good man and his business.
Fred was the kind of proprietor that you either hit it off with right away or...you hit it off with him right away. He was that gregarious, that friendly without being obsequious...and he knows his cigars. He always had a positive spin on things and it was a pleasure just to stop by for a few moments to buy a fresh supply of good quality stogies.
Fred, whereever you disappeared to, we miss you and we are terribly sorry you closed shop.
Pros: was a great place to hang out
Cons: out of business
