Starting a brick and mortar

Unless you have a sweetheart deal on rent, I would not open a tobacco B&M. All the odds are stacked against you unfortunately. Opening a cigar lounge, provided you can serve alcohol is another story and would need further consideration.

If you opened a business that bread & butter was something else and includes cigars and least you have a core business to sustain itself.

This is more in line of what we are thinking. A high end lounge gentlemans club, no not strippers, where things like shaving razors, suits, higher end alchohol, traditional items. A place where professional and semi professional guys would want to hang out and watch a game smoke a stick and check out some stuff for him.
