Getting past the one-year mark in MARAYA’s intimate shop on historic Orchard Street has not been without challenges.  As we forge headlong into the holiday season, we are offering a continuation of cigar Classes & Tastings (See OUR EVENTS postings).  We have some nice accessories for holiday — and just because — giving.  Telling your friends about the Lower East Side’s newest cigar emporium is the highest compliment you can give.

If you like a medium-bodied, interesting smoke MARAYA has three blends:  TANGO, PIANO & our 1st Anniversary Limited Edition FLUTE.  Perfect for the cigar enthusiast who likes to try something new.  Stop by when you’re in the neighborhood; the Lower East Side is NYC’s coolest, hottest destination with lots of owner-operated artisanal shops, bistros, galleries & the best coffee in the city.  We have wifi in the shop, so bring your laptop & get some work done, or close a business deal over a fine cigar.  You can smoke inside the shop or out — on the sidewalk bench when the weather is nce — and gather with friends for a relaxing afternoon or evening, before or after dinner.

If you think you’ll be later than the published closing time of 7pm, give us a call 212 334 3499 and we’ll arrange to stay open for you.

IS MORE POWER BETTER?

Heyward Tenny’s recent blog post on Famous Smoke Shop’s Cigar Blog raises an interesting perspective on the strength of today’s cigars. He makes clever use of the classic analogy from This Is Spinal Tap about the band’s new amplifier that goes up to eleven — 11! — producing yet more sound than other amps that go merely to ten.
