youngryan216:Yikes. Sometimes bigger chain grocery stores have stogies in their customer service areas. . .secret 'gars. (I've seen Macanudo and Punch, no really top shelf premis)
ShadowInTheMoon:So a new B&M smoke shop went in a few miles from me about a week ago, and that's awesome because the next closest one is like 30 miles away. But to my disappointment they had a selection of like 4 cigars in "our cigar case" right next to all the (not weed) pipes. I did end up buying one and hopefully it will come back to life in my humi.
kswildcat:I do not have a local B&M (closest real one I believe is 100+ miles one way). I rely on suggestions and reading/watching reviews. By far my favorite B&M was my first, was inside a truck stop no less, but had a huge selection and the decor was grand for being inside a truck stop. Ive only been in a couple nicer. What made it a great experience was the owner himself walked me around giving me suggestions. He showed me top of the line to bottom and when I showed interest in a high end he actually steered me to 1 half the cost, said he thought they were better and thought I would enjoy it more. I think all to often if you ask for suggestions they will try to put you with there high end. This guy was genuine and wanted me to have a good experience.
wahooschock:we have lots of b&ms here. all are over 35-45 minutes away. I ride a scoot and its winter so they wont be seeing me lol. but there is a great one in Saratoga springs...not very helpful...particularly to women..but that's where I got my first undercrown. my mother went in to grab me a cigar and asked for a maddie with a rg 50+ under ten bucks by de,oliva,or ab and the guys like "do you know how many there are?" she laughed at him and said no its for my son. pulls out an undercrown. good smoke. anhow theres another one in a small town 35 mins away that I have to try called the badgers den I think. but it may have to wait for spring cause its all down hill too it and all up back.

Lol yup thers two or three more b&ms now but they are the best. My late mother and her (then) boyfriend owned a deli a couple doors down from there, called Pickle Barrel. That was the first cigar B&M I ever went in and they introduced me to a punch, which was amazing to me at the time. Great place. Used to make a hell of an entry into the chili contest during the Blues fest as well, I think they won the year before my mom did. I had heard that either Sam was very sick or passed away though, so I didn't hold out hope for the shop. Also heard the blues fest is dead, also very sad, that was a great time.
