Liquidation bin?

[herfdog]

Over the week-end I bought a Padron in a nearby B&M's "liquidation bin"

Those were older cigars they no longer carry (don't sell enough I guess) that sell for about half their normal price. They looked great, so after some inspection I decided to try one. It was a Padron Churchill Maduro and I felt like trying it. It was awesome.

I believe the fact it had been in the store's humidor for a long while helped it. The conditions are good and it aged for a few years I guess, the cellophane was yellowed. Perfect draw, and would keep burning.


Is it normal for B&M to have clearance bins? Its the first time I see one, seemed odd to me at first. Should I worry when I see "clearance" in a cigar store?

I have seen exceptional finds in clearance bins and on back shelves. Sometimes they just need to move cigars. I always check out smaller shops when traveling. Never know what you might find. Nice find!

I've found some fantastic deals in the sale bins. Most don't have them but when they do I'm a happy guy.

I remember a local shop once had the original release El Centurion old Pepin Robustos in their bargain bin for $4.00 a stick! Pretty tough to pass up!

One of the stores I frequent has a table that they sell 5ers for the price of 3 (usually only RP or AB), and the other does not have a bargain bin. I wish I knew one closer than an hour drive that has one.

Which shop has the "clearance" table? Maybe I can pull the same trick she uses on me... "But I got it on clearance honey!!"

Elite has a "bargain bin", they also sell baggies with 4-7 cheaper sticks for 20 bucks or less.

Cigar Warehouse in Plano has a table with 5ers on it. Prensado, black market, etc. They have a CW on North Central Expressway in Dallas, too.

Awesome! May have to take a trek out there.

Good to know when I go up to DFW for work again.

Non of my local stores have bin, but one of them will bag up the last 5 of most boxes and cut 10% off the normal price.

When you come up here, maybe a heads up for a possible HERF?

I've never been in a shop with a bargain/clearance been, but I'm kind of drooling at this thread.

Whenever I walk into a new cigar store and they have a clearance bin, I'll sometimes find some Peterson's in there for about $4-$5 a stick. They were discontinued years ago after a disagreement between General Cigar and Peterson Tobacco on the marketing of the cigar. If you get a chance to pick some up, I highly recommend you do so. They are incredible sticks!

Wish my local had a discount bin. Haven't been there much since the weather got warmer, but theres not much there for under $10. I still buy, because they have a nice lounge (even though theres not much air movement in the winter.) If they had a discount table or had discounts on boxes or fivers id probably spend a lot more money there

Tower Cigar has two bargain bins...One 6 bucks and one at 9...always great sticks, just lines or sizes that didn't move. I go through it regularly and always do pretty well because the stock changes often.

+1! I kinda dropped off from cigars a few years back and recently returned. I was going through bands I had saved and found a Peterson band and remembered that I really enjoyed that stick. A shame they aren't made anymore.

My local just posted that they now have a 5cent bin, buy one selected stick for regular price, grab one of equal or lesser value from the bin. Now I just have to wait for payday to see if it is anything worthwhile.
