I buy mostly boxes and purchase about 95% of my smokes online but every now and then I'll pick up a few singles at one of my local B&M's when I want to try something new or pick up some Ashton VSG's (Favorite NC) when available

I was running errands today and was near the B&M and decided to see if there were any VSG's in stock since I was completely out. He must of hit the Muthaload because not only did he have all the sizes, but also had several boxes as well. I was like, okay I'm here and I love the Corona Gorda. Why not just pick up a box here. So I grab the box and ask the owner what he can do for me as far as pricing on the box. He said "I can give you 10% off but that's about it" I politely told him that I can buy them from Famous for a LOT less than the 10% off the box price he was charging me. I kind of understand his point since the VSG is so popular I'm sure he moves a lot of stcks versus boxes. But from my standpoint I can see why I buy most of my smokes online.

Does your B&M match box prices of the online vendors?
