Yes, thank you. Your rough numbers are better than we thought. Hmmm, it's so crazy it just might work after all ;)

Hope it helps! Let me know if you need any other questions answered. If you would be interested in ordering from us wholesale when you're all up and running, if and when, I'll be glad to discuss that as well.

Thanks,

Jimmy

On top of all that...I have my own brand of Cigar, named Inception, that is now in 92 stores across 24 states.

If you're going to get into something...you gotta go 100%, otherwise you're wasting your time.

Wow, good for you! Love hearing that entrepreneurship is alive and well!

If you opened a business that bread & butter was something else and includes cigars and least you have a core business to sustain itself.

I agree, tough crowd for a B&M cigar shop; plus I think you'll have better luck with a cigar lounge with optional adult beverages. I would also go to a friendly location. Get your licences and permits ahead of time before you sink a ton of money into your business. If you'll need funding good luck with that one too. :2
