I was just checking out the TNT Cigars website and saw this:

https://www.tntcigar.com/store/about-tnt-page.php

TNT has an outlet that is about a 5 minute drive from where I live (referring to the San Antonio location on Hwy 1604). I've stopped in only once, looking for some brands I can't find online and left very unimpressed. I've seen lower prices at most B&M stores and I felt like most of what they had to sell were bundles of "factory seconds" of brands like La Aurora, HdM, RyJ... and not for very good prices, either.

Sorry to hear about the prices/selection.  Do they have a lot of events and/or herfs?  If so, it might be worth stopping in just for the atmosphere  

The only thing I've ever bought from TNT are the Padron alternatives, and they are a pretty decent stick.  Took a long time to get to me in GA, though.

Sometimes I am curious about those of us who live in PA.  Can you imagine having CI and FSS within driving distance?  I would definitely be divorced and completely broke

They warn you at the website:

**PLEASE NOTE: ONLINE PRICES DO NOT REFLECT OUR IN STORE RETAIL PRICES!!

B&Ms pay a lot of rent, insurance, payroll and taxes that are tagged onto the price.

Man, that is not the half of it.  There is also Holt's and a bunch of other smaller stores that have great selections.  PA has got to be one of the best places for a cigar smoker to live.  That is one of the reasons that I buy online.  I usually spend more money in the store than I do online.  Also the shops always have such nice people there that I say I'm going to be gone 2 hours and I end up staying for 4.  Good for me, bad for marriage.
