They still are available at some B&Ms, I believe it was Tobacco Tropical that was/is making them.

There are a few other B&M exclusive lines the manufacturers have tried over time but I believe that trend may be dwindling

I'm aware of only two.
LA Aurora "Broadway" and Alec Bradley "New York" are supposedly available only at B&Ms in NY. They are LEs made by those two companies to benefit NY tobacconists in the wake of the ruinous increase in NY cigar taxes to 75%. I've had the Broadway it's an excellent smoke.

Some of the higher end Diamond Crowns like the Julius Caesar and Fuentes like Casa Fuente can be difficult locate online sometimes.

Another nice thing about B&Ms is you can dig around in there walk-in and occasionaly find a jewel that was discoed or HTF online.

There are a couple bands of Sosa cigars that are fabulous that I cannot find online anywhere. They are only sold in Sosa cigar shops.

He seems to be a fan of Sosa cigars. When he said he can't find certain blends of them anywhere online it's a pretty damned safe assumption that he's checked CI, one of the largest and most well-known online retailers there is.

It's like if someone who works on cars a lot said they can't find a variety of part anywhere online and I said "Have you tried Napa?"

This is true -- I was talking with them the last time I was in the store. There are some of their brands that they only sell retail in their stores and they plan to keep it that way.

I love having a thread for every thought that pops into someones mind. It makes things much less cluttered around here.

Sorry MIB. I'll work on it.

I can get anejos at my b&m all year long. The sharks are a little tougher, he puts a box out the first day of every month, which usually last about 10 days.

The NYC taxes make it a pain to me. $17.50 for a shark is way too rich for my blood, especially if you can get a box out of state for 215-225.

Sometimes all my B&Ms have are what I can easily get online cheaper; the only exceptions being Tower's Tat exclusives and beer.

I'll give them a call, but it's my understanding they are only sold at casa fuentes, and with a daily limit of 2 sticks. cannot buy them anywhere else.
