There is nothing for anyone to answer. DPG prices are going up anywhere from 10 to almost 20% on some sizes/blends (based on cost). If you are buying at your B&M, you will see retail prices go up, on average, about a .80-1.00 a stick if the retailer holds his margins (and they will). Noriega...

Don't use the exhause method. It takes all your AC/head with it. The electrostatic ones like Idahogn talks about are the best (we have a similar unit in my store). They are a bit of a hassle to clean, but you won't have to clean it near as often as we do. I've got anywhere from 3-6 or 7 guys...

Working at the store, I get 2 or 3 per day. However, most of those don't get finished, cause I have no patience for less than great smokes. So a lot get set down and never picked back up. Tat's, San Cristobal and my house brand, Regalo, always get the bands burned.

What do I like to listen to?? The masters, like Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Thelonius Monk.. etc. What's am I listening to now? WGC Accenture Match Play on NBC. I know it's TV, but I AM listening to it in the background as I surf the forums.

Get ready for real bitchin! Taxes aren't going DOWN in any state anytime soon. And within one year SCHIP will be back. Fuel costs are up over 30% from just a year ago, and in Nicaragua, Noriega has instituted 15% mandatory wage increases every year for that countries workers. So all tobacco and...

It'll be hard to win on this one, Pete! When you're a cigar rock star, everyone wants a piece of you. It's nice to see you on the forums when you are able. BTW, weren't you building a new house? Now there's a time sucker! How's it coming? OK, I don't want to 'jack a thread, so I officially...

Hell, my store just got 10 boxes of Opus Chili Peppers. What's the big deal? Oh, I forgot about the 5 boxes of BBMF Maduro and a measly 3 boxes of BTL. First come first served, no limits and all priced at 40% under MSRP. BTW... what is the proper definition of an "asshat?"

Holmes... stay on your toes while you are over there. PM me your info and I'll earmark some of the cigars we collect for the troops and send them your way. Yes, size does affect taste and when the temperature reads a BIG FAT GOOSE-EGG, I can understand why it only takes 35 minutes to smoke a...

Had 2 or 3 cups of Black Label this morning. Very good coffee, with a deep, rich profile. Just a bit of mild acidity and pretty well balanced. I noted a hint of Pop Tart in the finish... oh wait. That was my Pop Tart I was eating. Never mind. Since I sell coffee too, I am a little biased...

I am happy to say that we just got our first shipment of these sticks a week or so ago. So I've put together a little sampler of 1 each of the following: Lusitano, Chisel Puro and Cubano $28.95 +shipping I'll throw in a bonus stick and some of our Ybor City Naviera coffee to boot. Supply is...

Kev dropped off my bag Wed afternoon. I'll be drinking a cup or two Thurs morning and I'll try to give a review. Yes, the bag is really nice. All black mylar with embossed "tatuaje" logo in silver. Very classy.

Kev, As I said when we talked the other day... great idea. I hope it goes well. LMK when we can get a bag to try at the Leaf. Website looks great, too. Good Luck, Mike

When I first opened my B&M, we had homebrew supplies. It was a hobby of mine also for several years. I haven't made a batch in about 4 years (funny how brewers take a hiatus when children are born!). Anyhow, I have some recipe books that I'll probably never use again. I'll see if I can dig...

Not that I'll ever have the dough for a nice boat, but if I did, I'd call it: "H2O Herf" or "Smoke on the Water" :D

Belleza Oscura = Dark Beauty. Thank the Lord for free online translators.

Padron 40th MSRP appx $25.00 AF BTL at most retailers appx $14.50 (Fuente MSRP is slightly lower) Not inclusive of any state tobacco taxes

Add Leaf & Ale and Silo... also retailer members here (although a little newer than some of the others).

No, I think Lew used that in another forum. But I do like it! I also like Silo... kind of like Siglo. "Do you have any Silo VI in stock, sir??" :D

First of all.... HD was incorrect when he said cigar prices would increase "a few dimes" or "a buck" (I'm paraphrasing). SCHIP would increase the retail price of cigars by roughly 50-53% depending on which version ultimately passes (and it will in the next 12 to 18 months...bet on it). So your...

If you had the opportunity to get into the business and create, market, and sell your own line of cigars, what would you call them??
