Thanks for the replies and PMs (keep 'em coming!). Still a 50/50 chance on this. Been estimating costs and, although it may be a little tight for me for a couple of years, I think I would be happier than going back to the corporate world. Jim

Looks great to me... send 'er home!!! Jim

I am aware of some of the vendor costs and issues, but what about the store itself. Looking at maybe 1400 sq ft. -300 sq ft humi, 300 sq ft retail, 500 sq ft lounge, 300 sq ft office/storage??? Reasonable? Any idea what sort of costs for bulding the humi, humidification and air handling...

After being layed off a year ago and getting tired of unsuccessful job hunting, I have been thinking of opening my own business. My background is business finance and customer support. What I was hoping to get here is some tips, advice, start up cost estimates (for build outs, etc) for a...

36... and I'm not going back there!!!

I agree! The Joya de Nicaragua Antano Gran Reserva sure is an ass-kicker. I'd put the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero a close second... although I'd choose the large ring 60 x 6 1/2 to do it! Jim

TDog... Apparently no one in this pass has been brave enough to try the A Pontillo (Cigar #1). This cigar appeared in my local B&Ms a couple of months ago and (IMHO) is a pretty good smoke. Since it is readily available to me, and I'd like someone elses opinion, I'd like you to take it from...

Very nice Ian! Thanks for being part of my pass. TDOG... you are the last stop before this comes home!!! Jim

:whistling:

Last week I was at a Partagas event at a local B&M. Benji Menendez was there presenting a very informative lesson on cigar construction. One of his "tricks" was to take a Partagas with a Cameroon wrapper and wrap a Rosado wrapper around it to taste the difference. I later asked him about the...

Me thinks he's spending his time in bars!

Price of gas today, only $0.79... PER LITER!

I want to meet her!

Well... I wasn't able to get the other ones pulled, but a listing of "Ashton VSG, NOT OPUS X" is keyword spamming and it was reported as such!!! :sign: Jim If anyone else wants to report to these to eBay, go to this link: eBay Report Tobacco Listing and paste in these numbers! 6272129187 ...

Steve should have sent two sticks: -#35 Cohiba Esplendido -#72 Graycliff Pirate Espresso Pass updated with current contents. LC-Smoker: please review and verify. Thanks! Jim

Thanks! Jim

I have no problem with these. Can you also number what Steve sent you and add them to the put list so I can update? Jim

Although Ted, in the North Fulton/Forsyth County area of Georgia, is not on any boards, I trusted him as a friend and somewhat knowledgable BOTL. I'm sure I got the same story as most people buying counterfeits... "A friend in Miami sent me some genuine Cubans"! I asked him more about this and...

That does look like a pretty decent deal... anyone buy from these folks before??? Jim

Watch out for that door!
