"Yello cello" from my local B&M~

[Not A Nice Person]

 
 
 
My tax refund came in this week---on my regular payday, no less, so I'm definitely feeling pretty flush---and I wanted to do what I always do when I have a little extra money: buy myself a box of San Cristobal Fabulosos.  But they've been on back order here a couple weeks now, and there weren't any on the shelf when I went down there tonight.
 
Asked Scotty, the manager, if he was expecting them and he tells me "Fabulosos? I've got them." "Didn't SEE them." "I came across a bundle while I was cleaning and set them aside for you." "Bundle?"
 
He grabs a stepladder, reaches in the back corner of the highest shelf, and pulls out a cello brick that looks like it's been dipped in honey.
 
"Ooooooooooh."  :love:
 
Neither of us have any idea how long they've been floating around behind the other stock, but I'm guessing since they opened the new location 5-6 years ago, at least.  The first one's burning silky smooth with HUGE clouds of smoke.  Mmmm hmmm.

Sounds like a pretty good Friday to me. You should buy a lottery ticket.

Excellent find!

Awesome luck and a great shop keeper to put them away for an intended customer.

Exactly why a good B&M is invaluable.  Nice score.

Reading that is making my mouth water.

Now that is nice surprise! Where you like a kid in a candy store when you saw them?

Tales like that make it worth buying at a local B&M every time...

I purchased a punch sampler from the Atlantic Cigar Co. website a few months back. I was shocked when a few rare corojos in the sampler had extremely yellow cello. They looked amazing, I never would have expected that from an online purchase.
