New Cigar from AJ Fernandez - San Lotano (Press Release)

Don't a lot of "exclusive" cigars start out as B&M only but end up being available on-line? In addition, don't a lot of B&M's have an on-line presence these days?

Just curious on this but it does not make a whole lot of business sense to neglect the majority of prospective customers by limiting a products availability, regardless of how savvy the marketing.

It is to help out the smaller stores that can't compete with the cigar "Wal Mart" stores. More and more releases are b&m only. This has been a trend going back to the Casa Magna.

I've got a few from the show but I havn't gotten around to them yet. Not a big AJ fan. Maybe this one will be different.
