I just read the post you pointed out. This chick didn't call me honey or baby. Maybe that was because I was with my girlfriend. Are you referring to the black lady? In any case, this girl was 26, white, with curly hair and about 4'11". Very annoying. She hounded me in the humidor, and she taught me all about maduro vs ems, and how wrappers change the taste of a cigar etc etc. She got pushy and tried to get me to buy one right there, of course, I refused. I proceeded to tell her about CigarPass and how I've been running a popular cigar site for over 5 years which receives over 2,000 visits a day, however she brushed that off like I was a total moron who never smoked a cigar before. She went on to tell me how she has a vested interest in Casa Fuente, and if the shop doesn't do well, she doesn't do well yada yada yada. Then on about how they bring in $30,000/day. Pretty cocky for a 26 year old who's only been smoking cigars for 6 months. Enjoy!
I will give them this, the shop is beautiful with a very nice bar. The lounge out front kind of sucks, looks like an elementary school classroom with how all the chairs are setup. The humidor is also very nice. All they need to do is lose the cocky chicks and bring in some salty cigar aficionado fog like Sam Clemmons, and they'll be in business.
There is/was a lady at a local shop here who kinda did the same thing to a memeber who hasn't posted in awhile. Rob aka OpusXFiles, called me one night and was telling me about the older lady at Burns who was telling him what he needed to buy and blah blah blah, and I said man, come on, she's just a nice older lady, and he said "she told me to go home and make a journal of everything I smoke so I know what to buy, and I wanted to tell her, Look, I've spent more time and money here than you have breathed here, blah blah blah", but she's just trying her best. If people don't know about Cigars, you'll notice they kinda talk more, to try to make up for it. The same shop told me Anejos are maduro Opus....
Just tell her ya got it, smack her ass, and I BET she'll walk off! :laugh:
I think while I'm out there for SEMA this year, I'll wander over to CF. Not that I've ever smoked one, or ever intend to, take a few White Owls in with me and offer her one. "These are way better than anything in here, you should try one!"
