...or further proof this B&M has no idea what they are doing.

This particular B&M is notorious for mold issues. As Kent can attest you need to be very careful selecting cigars there and for the most part want to avoid anything not in cello or anything that might have been there for more than a week or 2. I went today to pick up some chew...yes, dirty dirty habit, do not let your kids pick it up...but did a quick check to see if anything new that I couldn't do without was available.

The sell massive quantities and have 4-5 locations so they often get some htf stuff in. They sell everything tobacco related and seems that even though they have a very impressive selection of cigars they don't know jack about them(it's plume!) and sell 95% of them just under MSRP.

Today the Gods or something were shinning on me because they had a full just opened box of the Don Carlos 80th Eye of the Shark. I looked and looked again, picking up the box to check again. At first I was just going to grab five but quickly latched the box shut and walked out of the humidor. I hold it in the air and ask "Can I buy this box?" "Yep" was the answer.

They will even give a 10% discount if your total is in the $100+ dollar range except on Opus and other "special" cigars but got it on this box. Might have to buy a lottery ticket tonight.

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

MSRP is around $12 I think, they are going anywhere from there to $30+ per. Very difficult to find as most B&Ms only got 1 box and they had to buy something like 25 boxes of regular line to get them.

They had 3 boxes available at my b&m last week. 1 left when I stopped in tonight. $15.95 singles and $340 for the box. I almost bought one but just got some singles instead. At the price they have them marked at ur place I don't know how u pass on a box.

15.95 is per stick with no tax. 340 is whole box plus tax.

I have to admit, when I first opened this thread, based on the title and the photo, I thought you were going to say you somehow managed to get the whole box for $10.59...  :-0  :-0  :-0  :-0  :-0  :-0  You still got a good deal though.
I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.
