Stores that Hide the Premiums

[TNT]

Howdy All .. this is my first post here... but yesterday I was in my local store (Heroes and Legacies) and in the HUGE humidor they have, they have a smaller room, glass door, that are the higher end / upscale cigars .. I guess they don't hide any (maybe they do) but they advertise their "top end" stock.

For the last 4 months I have been visiting this local store with a huge walk-in packed with cigars. I have searched every inch by now and tried a ton of cigars. He charges MSRP (usually). Today I was looking around near the front door and on the floor, hidden under the bottom shelf was a brown dusty box. I pulled it out and low and behold it said Fuente Fuente. I opened it, expecting it to be empty, but $hit, it was packed with OpusX robustos. Then I look under the robustos and I see a couple of the Reserva D' Chateau's. I was so shocked at this find, I actually started shaking. BTW, I have a XXX aging in my humi, but have never tried an Opus yet. They are always way overpriced. So now for the big question..........how much? I went out to the owner and asked, he smiled and said $15. I quickly turned and grabbed 1 Reserva D' Chateau. The robusto was $.50 less he said. If I had more money I would have bought a few of each.

I went up to pay and said to him, "So you hide the good stuff"? He just kept ringing me up with a straight face. He wouldn't talk about it. A few months back I had asked for Opus and he told me he gets them once in a while. So anyway today I will smoke that baby! I can't wait.

It just goes to show you. You have to search those humidors. They're in there. Where else would they be? Behind the counter? This guy even has a special case with Ashton VSG's, Diamond Crown Maximus and other premiums, but the OpusX's were hidden.

The next thing I need to do is find the ISOM's. You think he would have them in there? I don't doubt anything now. :whistling:
