There is one shop listed in Sugarland, which is only 30min away. but as popular as Viaje has become, I can't believe there aren't more places carrying them in such a large city. :confused:

That is because Viaje is popular and well known with the online crowd. The local B&M crowd probably / typically does not even know about them.....

Albert if you've found a shop that carries them locally good luck..
A friend of mine (not tim) who went to IPCPR said he spoke w/
Andre regarding the fact that none of the 90 (cigar shops/retailers)
in Atlanta even carry them....

Maybe you can ease my fears but aren't they responsible for the domestic 'letter'?

If you're talking about the excise tax letter, blame that on the states that require it, not the retailer. The retailer merely follows whatever it needs to in order to continue business with the occupants of that state.

I am not blaming anyone, I was just curious. I have no issue paying taxes just like to have all the info up front, I don't like surprise tax bills. Somehow its always cheaper to pay taxes up front than when they get assessed after the fact.

I saw some good looking samplers on NHC so I'll order there. The only other online options seemed to only have full boxes available.

I get you, I'm pretty sure that no one appreciates surprise tax bills. Sometimes post facto taxes are more expensive because they deal with retail cost as opposed to wholesale cost. Although, I just noticed that they're (Viaje) pretty sparse with the Miami B&M's too, which makes for a very sad panda.

Actually... The state turned over those records Albert. From
what I understand, and I didn't get this directly from Dan because
I wasn't aware of this the last time that I spoke to him, but
He didn't report anything.... The state of ohio did...

i think there may be a workaround, but i'm not posting it in this
venue... u know how to reach me bro...
