I can't think of any Cigar brands that only B&M's carry, but I could be wrong. There will certainly be certain lines from brands that are in stores only.

Alot of B&M's have their house blends you can't buy online. I know Outlaw cigar has a bunch.

B&Ms also typically offer a lounge to enjoy your smoke. There can be a sense of pride gained when you support a local business as well. You may meet some great BOTL and start some new friendships there on occasion too. Many places have house blends as well(as mentioned before). You can score boxes and try out accessories too. While many good deals can be found online, online sales can never completely replace the experience of visiting a really high quality B&M. When I was heavily into NCs I used to buy my boxes online and my singles at a B&M.

Then bring and smoke your own while taking the ones you just bought home to let them drop in moisture. |

I asked the owners of two B&Ms that I go to about that. The response I got in my mind made sense and their response were almost identical. The reason for the higher humidity is that the door is being opened constantly from 9am to 10pm M-Th, 8am - 12am Fr & Sat and 12p - 6p on Sun. That is a ton of people in and out, in and out, allowing the humidity to escape and temp fluctuation. Made sense to me and I have never really had but maybe two handfuls of cigars I felt were over humidified. If they were, I have a hell of a lot of other choices there. My $0.03. J.

Does anyone remember the "JFR" (just for retail) cigars someone was making back about 5 years ago? I can't remember who it was.

One of the shops that I frequent has a few special blends that they receive, and I've never seen them anywhere else. They also get a really good cigar that is freshly rolled for them in Florida, and then shipped directly to the store. You can smoke them right away and it is fun having a cigar that was rolled with the past couple weeks. I've also bought one and stored it a few months and it was interesting to go back a compare a fresh one to the one that has been sitting for a while.
I'm starting to develop relationships with people at the B&M I frequent and am finding it very rewarding. They are getting to know my tastes and always have something cool to recommend. |

B&Ms and on-line retailers, with the exception of some exclusives, get the same cigars. Sometimes big on-line houses will buy mazos (bundles) of celloed cigars rather than boxes since they are going to break them down into 5-packs or singles anyway. As for Anejo's, they are only released twice a year, doesn't matter if you're a B&M or an online outfit. If an online outfit has them all year long, it's probably because they're charging an excessively high price and no one is buying them. |
