    It always sucks to lose local businesses it sucks even more when it's your local cigar shop.

    Update:

    A couple of the regular customers are looking to buy the business from Jim and move it around the corner to Temple Street. Talks are on-going. Last week, it was "possible" a few days ago is was "probable" and today it sounds "very likely."

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed because it's not a done deal yet but this is potentially great news for Hartford area cigar smokers.

    That is a big bummer. Good thing you can get stuff online, but there is nothing like going to a b&m that you really enjoy.
    Just another day at the office!

    I wonder how much money are in those b&m's. Putting aside costs to become established, what the take-home actually looks like. This store sounds like a hangout for several of the guys there. If the cigars/accessories paid for themselves and staff to run it, the rest of the money put into it make it a comfortable hangout for the owners?

    Good luck to the cigar smokers of Hartford.
