stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet

[Steve]

I have bought from both online and local shops. I prefer to buy most of my cigars from my local shop. It is located within a couple of miles from my house, always has a nice selection, friendly atmosphere, and usually good fellowship. If on the rare occasion that I get a bad stick, Howard is always quick to replace it with no fuss. Even factoring in gas and time, I can usually at worst come out even over paying for shipping. BUT, as I said, I am fortunate to have a local shop that is well stocked. I have spent some time in smaller towns that were not so fortunate.

As a matter of fact, I spent a couple of quality hours there this afternoon enjoying a couple of cigars, raiding the fridge in back for beer, and comparing hospital horror stories with the rest of the refugees from honeydo's that were hanging out there.

I will definately second (third, fourth, etc. this)!

BTW, When are you and Andrea looking to hit the Turtle again? Maybe I can make the trek up there to join ya.
