  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Thanks all. So is the tobacco industry going to survive the government tax push and anti-tobacco groups that are influencing government decisions? Is it wise to invest in a Smoke Shop given the uncertainties ahead? It seems their movements are having an impact on overall utilization, and 5-10 years from now we may be in a smoke-free dictated society.

Well I think you asking this question would be my biggest NO answer to opening a shop. You should have a basic sense of the market already? Make a wise investment, location is going to be key and your knowledge base on cigars will definitely help and if you know basic sales skills. I wish you luck and there is some great info here for sure but you should know many of the answers you've asked already... Would hate to see you get in and lose your shirt. Good Luck and Welcome!
