the cra idea worries me, just as much as just giving it to and one shop, takes something from it, i just wish i could say exactly what it is that i feel would be lost. maybe the national aspect? being from a cigar unfriendly region-i'm acutely aware of it.
and it makes me feel pretty disconnected from the excitement to just hope i am the flash on the phone or internet to get a shot at one.
if you were to decide to do just one shop, instead of it being a mad dash, have you considered integrating your lottery system to us, the loyal fans? maybe all of us getting a lot number, then they are released on the 13th, knowing that Gloucester will be the main location? then just limit the number of boxes one can purchase to 2 maybe 3, but that would give a level of fairness that we might not be able to achieve any other way.
if you did that, from one location, you could truly control the golden tickets, and know exactly who your cigars are going to, your fans.
and if loyal fans want singles and 5 packs, do those at your local B & M across the country in a coffin box, or whatever so new customers might have a chance to know the monster!
lol. Keep doing what your doing bro!
