Glad to have helped.
As with anything in life, there are no guarantees. But if I were in your situation, I wouldn't be worrying.

I have another couple of questions...

Is there a good place to buy cigars online?

Should I just buy them locally?

Search is your friend

There are a lot of Sticky threads in CA that list online retailers, peoples experiences, etc.

Needless to say, it is kind of a "religious" issue. Some people buy only online, some only local. The one thing to remember is that if you like having a local B&M then you need to support them otherwise, they may disappear.

Just my

You may pay a bit more at your local shop but a small business is always worth supporting. I try to buy singles at my local B&M but boxes from online vendors.

Where in California are you?

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer.

What does Herf mean?

A herf is a gathering of BOTL and SOTL to relax, unwind and smoke cigars. A herf can be as simple as two BOTL getting together for a smoke after work or it can be a full blowout with music, food, games, etc. The main theme of any herf is relaxation and camaraderie, everything else is secondary - even the cigars.
