Very few if any shops match online prices. They all have to pay OTP tax to the state, which can be as high as 70% of the wholesale price. If B&M's matched online shops prices, they would be broke and go out of business. In the end, it's important to support your local B&M's. They are the ones that drive our hobby, provide the lounges, the people to have good conversation with while there and the overall cigar experience.
