Ok, so my friend goes to Addison Cigar to buy a few sticks and goes into the humidor. He finds a Diamond Crown only to see it was covered in plume/mold. He brings this to the attention of the little guy that works there who wears glasses & a tie with a mustache & chain smokes Galoise cigarettes. The guy says "yeah, I wish every cigar in here was like that!."
Can you believe that!!!!! This is the kinda CRAP we deal with in our local B&Ms.
This is not the first time I've head employees at Addison Cigar make assinine statements like this. I hate to say this, but stay away from this B&M.
Share your horror stories. And DFW beware!
I should have been more clear, my apology. I was relating the story, and in my brevity I left out that it was in fact mold. My friend is a newbie and didn't know the difference between plume & mold, but after asking a few questions & showing him a cigar or two with plume, he verified my suspicion that is was mold.
DeVonn, your explination of plume is very good & I passed it on to others already.
Mike, and others, thank you for having my back.
As for Robert at Addison Cigars - let me be
VERY clear as I have encountered him a few times, but NEVER again because I don't step foot in that place - he is an
A$$HAT! He is rude, snooty, & has limited cigar knowledge, as he chain smokes nasty ass cigarettes all the time in the lobby of the store. I recounted my interactions with Addison Cigar several times here at CP, so I won't rehash the details. They won't get any of my money.
To be fair, his is not the only B&M with poor quality & service, but there are MANY B&Ms out there with knowledgable, friendly staff, & properly stored cigars.
Find a good B&M and SUPPORT them! Several of them are members here on CP.
