I very infrequently visit my local tinderbox, but I think I am done. My wife, trying to be really nice, was at the mall last month and decided to get me a couple good surprise smokes. She called by buddy for recommendations and went in asking about a few recommended selections.

According to her, the kid working the store was a complete A-hole, with zero interest in helping her - basically stating they don't have what she was looking for and not at all willing to help her pick out anything. She said despite the store being empty, he was rude and seemed like he preferred she didn't buy anything and just left - so she did.

I have had mixed results at this store over the years, with most recent experiences being quite negative. I do not think I will visit them anymore. Way too many other choices to get cheaper cigars with better service.
