Ok. Here is the basic premise. A B&M has superior cigars to internet.


Supporting statements:
1. Side by side tests. I've taken a number of internet cigars into my lounge and bought the same cigar there and smoked them side by side. Even had a few botl try it too and we all thought the local one was better. Even in blind tests.

2. Botl had gone to Honduras and Dominican republic and reported that locals(workers at the factories) had stated that inferior tobacco and piles left laying around in the factory were for internet cigars.
3. Just conjecture here but I think to myself as a businessman. First the big guys want these incredible discounts. Need to use surplus and extra tobacco. Second I know that the small guy is aware of everything that comes into his shop. Whereas the big guy. Not so much. I know that in my business the guy who makes 2 orders a month will probably call me about both. On the other hand the company that orders 100 one of his employees may call every 3 months or so.

Final thoughts: again just my opinion and I will still order and smoke internet cigars. But I think the makers know who their clients are and will give superior product to the local guys. It helps keep them in business when they can't compete price wise and reduces complaints. Try a side by side testing and support you local as much as your budget allows.

The statements made in your original post do not reflect what you are now calling a "difference" or "spanking". You seem to be accusing those that disagree with you of blowing it out of proportion "2x4". Perhaps you should read the words and tone of your OP and retract or modify some of them. :-)

dont worry, he was referring to NCs being illegal to buy online, not CCs :-)

I've hit enough deer for a lifetime. One in 2008 and at least 5 in 06-07. Glad they weren't my vehicles. :-)

I am guessing that the second response came from C&M's (if I am guessing which B&Ms you went to).

Hehehe
