I was told about a cigar store near downtown Salt Lake City. I just had to make the trip to see what they had...
And then - HOLY CRAP!!!! Ok... I've seen price gouging before... ala Casa Fuente in Las Vegas - but, this place takes the cake...
Here's the website: Havana Brothers, Salt Lake City
Without getting into a lengthy discussion - the reason I said "Holy Crap" was because they were selling Fuente Anejo 46's for $50 . No, that's not a misprint - that is $50.00!!!
I asked the guy why he was charging $50.00 for the Anejo. His response was it was a very hard to find cigar, and they were not making a lot of money on them. He said, "It's just like a Corvette - you know the dealerships don't make much money on them compared to what they're worth"... I say - BS!!!
To those of you coming to Salt Lake City - I say you bring your own. There are some TinderBox locations in the malls in the area, but the selection is thin. And if they're charging $50 for an Anejo - I say, "I'll pass!!!" It's just a damn shame I invested the time and effort to drive downtown to seek the place out...
