Local B&M was going out of business. Sad day, but got a bunch of great sticks at steep discounts.

And here I thought with the cc prices so high that the nc business would be booming. Maybe just too many shops in the area.

Both excellent. I really liked the Axis Mundi fresh -- very distinct caramel notes from it.

Same. It's a shame they don't make the Axis Mundi anymore. For the price it was hard to beat them.

You missed out, CI just had a sale, picked up the box for I think 63 bucks after coupon codes

I found another one of my EML ABR 14 boxes of PLPC’s (arguably the best code and month ever for these, @jfields what do you think?) I believe I purchased 10 of these boxes total, smoked (and gave away) 6 boxes, have 2 in hand and have 2 more in remote humidors somewhere out yonder…

Probably poor management. That's usually the case.

Nice pick up, a lot of BM's are mismanaged. Bad inventory management & end up sitting on too much stuff that they can't sell. And prices being high in certain areas is due to the taxes on tobacco products, so the BM isn't seeing that $$$. I've never looked into NC tax rates & in some cases you have BM's buying from other avenues because they can't get accounts with manufactures/brokers which addes cost on their end that they pass on to the customer.

Some wise man on this forum recommended these - and wouldn't you know it - they just happened to be available in a five-pack.


This picture is a bit dark - the color is actually much lighter.

I almost was heading to Madison, to do safety training/etc for TDS Telecom, but I switched jobs. I already had planned on reaching out, but not for a B&B, just a few cigars/drinks
