This may have been discussed before, but I'm interested in knowing if we have many, (any), members who own, have owned, would like to own, or is working in a cigar shop.

I'd like to own a cigar shop. Problem is, I'll probably smoke all my merchandise. Never make profit.

Well I am actually looking into a part time job at a shop near me. I need a way to make some extra money because we just found out we are taking a pay cut at work, and there is a decent shop right around the corner from the house I just moved into. The shop is really new and the owner seems new to the cigar world. I'm thinking I might be able to help him out and attract some new business.

There are two selling for just under $100k ea in RI. They state that the profit for ea store is approx $35k annually. Im sure you could build it up with sime good marketing and a fresh look on the stores.

Its a tough biz now with the smoking regulations. Im sure you can get some tips from the burg.

I am just doing rep work but I visit a ton of shops. My original goal was to open a B&M.

I would love to open a shop out where I'm at. We could really use one and I know for a fact I could get some good business.

With all due respect, I wouldn't believe that. If there is $35k of profit annually, the sale price is way too low. I'd do a lot of due dilligence before going in on that.

Im not looking to buy this, and my numbers are from memory, but that is in the general area. I wouldnt be so surprised as folks are terrified in this industry of new regulations, such as schip and smoking inside laws.
