Or, in lieu of that, those who just enjoy a fine cigar, like myself, will buy them just for a nice, relaxing smoke!

There are a couple of cigar stores here in the local area, but I am not as comfortable with the ownership...nonetheless, I may do the same, because selfishly, it would be great to have a local B&M who stocks these! The rub is, as always, is that for a cigar just arrived in a shop to get any legs, it has to be talked up by the staff. Otherwise, the cigars just sit on the shelf, passively waiting for someone to take them home. As with any business, the success of a line of goods depends on the willingness of the ownership and staff to push it!
i have a local shop that LOVES boutique cigars and i think if this is a good line i could see him carrying them.
