I'd truely like to support my B&M, but with taxes so high and prices so cheap online, I just don't want to. Besides I would never buy a $5 smoke that I'll never smoke. You get in good with the people that work there and they don't really care because you are "potential" business while there.tedski said:

Ohio is a bit aren't bad and Kentucky is extremely low so that is why I shop local. That and the Weekly Tasting put on by The Party Source is usualy a good deal. In 2 weeks the big one is a CAO night 1 Brazilia, 1 Italia and 1 MX2 for the usual price.

I voted 0-20%. I get about 90% of my smokes at the local shop. I can get Opus, PAM, etc... all at MSRP + 7% tax. It's hard to beat that when you can hang out and smoke with with some fine BOTH.
Havent bought many cigars but I would have to say that I go 90% on-line. Have only bout a few localy and that was mainly because i didnt have a stash yet or I just wanted to try that special cigar that I had my eye on.
Being in a country where you can buy cubans in most petrol stations and pubs plus the local tobacconists.. I buy regurlarly singles off line.. boxes however, I buy overseas and online due to the massive local tax.. but it is still nice to be able and go and try singles.

This looked like a good one to revive.
The only reason I buy in the store is because they have a lounge and I want to support them. I don't buy boxes in the store, usually a nice premium or something that catches my eye.

This was a good one to revive. I was just thinking about this yesterday, on my first trip to a B&M in over 6 months, I was wondering what everybody else's buying practices were.
I only went there looking for a PAM Monarca to replace one the my buddy smoked that I was offering up in a trade...they were asking $13.50. It's still there. That's one reason I buy online. I can shop the "virtual B&M's" and compare w/o driving all over town looking for something special that I want.

All online. I, like many others go into a few B&M shops to see what they have thats new. Its hard to spend the extra $$ on cigars at a B&M when you know you can get them online for 1/2 price. The B&M near me does a really good business anyway. I guess alot of their customers do not have humidors at home :dunno:
