Look for the simplest explanation in things.

In this case, what is the simplest explanation for the observation that cigars purchased in a B&M taste better than ones bought online.

1. Age of cigars.
2. Selection by the manufacturer giving better smokes to the B&M.
3. Other.

I think you would agree that age is a simpler explanation than anything else, as there is no active involvement of anybody in the difference.

Of course, the simplest explanation is not always the right one, but looking at problems this way is often helpful.
