A local B&M gifted me a Drac!

Titan410 · 11-17-2009, 09:38 AM

Maybe not all that spectacular but considering it was the third time I had been in this particular B&M and the first time I stayed and had a smoke I thought it was pretty generous.
The generosity of BOTL never fails to amaze me.

Now it will take a dark and humid nap for a year to be dug up next Halloween.

Still, it's mighty nice of em! My local B&M's don't really gift me.

A refreshing change from the, "You have to buy 5 other cigars ... and it's 20 bucks".

I bet you go back there more often than not now.

That's what got me going back to my local B&M... I went in and bought a few sticks and we got to talking about Anejo's, I told him how much I liked them and he handed me a Shark for free. He has gone above and beyond for me a couple of time since then. I am willing to pay a little higher of a price per stick to shop there because of how I'm treated when I'm there.

Great stuff!!! Local B&Ms here aren't giving jack away!! Now Kevin at Wintons Humidor in Midlothian, Va...great guy!!! I think that every time I have been in his shop, he sticks a cigar in my hand.

Great stuff and good business!....Don't have to be a Wharton grad to realize he now has a loyal customer, who will bring his friends!

Absolutely.

Where else do you find service like that? Its not very often you go into a business and they give you something for free that you would have most likely bought from them.
I will go there more often even though it is much further away than two others near me.

Sounds like a great B&M.

One of my regular B&M shops gave me a couple cigars before. Also been sitting in there and a guy walked in to pick up a box of Oliva Series O Robustos that he ordered. He paid, then he opened it and walked around the shop telling everyone there to get one. There were probably 6 of us in there smoking that day. Another day I was in there and a Gurhka Rep walked in, has passed a few cigars out. It's the best shop around my area. It's the Pipe & Pint in Greensboro for those locals from NC.

Exactly. I don't mind driving an extra 15 minutes to get that kind of service. It's not about getting free cigars to me, it's getting that comraderie.
