...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.
