Now, if my B&M could match on-line prices pre-tax I would probably buy more there. However, even before tax every B&M I go into charges more than on-line stores. So, I just buy singles locally mostly hard to find stuff like Opus X and Anejo because they're so expensive I'm not going to buy a whole box anyway.
Mikey, the 30+% tax is already built into the price of the stick. The extra 5% they charge you is SALES tax.
