Hey, it doesn't count when they are on sale for ridiculous prices!

Maybe I should expand my post.

Arturo Fuente Curly Head

B&M: $2
Internet: $0.63

Should I enjoy it more because of the cost? I doubt that they would really put the time into separating tobacco for B&M and internet retailers, it would be waste of time and cost. They make the same amount of money per box out of the factory. What difference would it make to them? None.

Ok fire off!!

OK. So why did you start this thread?

The title says "stirring the pot". Was that your intention? Just curious.

When the concept was introduced on other sites there were very polarized reactions. Some near violent. But that forum was a bunch of a-holes who basically all had the same opinion and were ruthless to anyone outside of that. So I figured if try it here on a much more respectful crowd and see the results. I knew the potential for the topic to be volitile therefore the title. But the purpose was always to see what others thought. Everyone at the lounge I go to agrees with me on this but I'm finding that as far as the internet forum crowd goes we are a minority. That in and of itself might be telling. The guys at my lounge are not big into the internet forum. Not into internet cigars. Could all be attitude and personal perception. Either way. For the guy who thinks there is a difference if there is not or for the guy who thinks there is no difference if there is.

Ok. Here is my thought. I am a big fan of everything Padron makes.
Most of my Padron purchases are made at the local B&M, because he has great prices on Padrons and a nice shop I can sit and smoke in. I have purchased some Padrons online and find them to be the same excellent cigar.

I'm getting pissed.

Here I was thinking I was going to get a bunch of free cigars to do a quintuplet blind test but now someone's just trying to wrastle me.... I don't like that kind of contact.

Statistics are like whores, play with them long enough and they'll do anything for you.

Never saw that clip before. Fantastic!

Great thread like this would rather burn out than fade away.

Ok I'm full of it. I'll drag it on if I gotta be the only one posting. Ha ha ha ha (maniacal igor type laugh)
