    Default Your local apprentice

    I have the great pleasure of working part-time at one of the B&M's in the DC area, Bethesda Tobacco in Bethesda MD. I was a regular for almost two years and then the Owner asked if I had any desire to work at the store. Yes! Well, now I'm working part time, 10 hours a week or so in addition to my 'Day Job'. I'm learning quite a bit about cigars and more over, I'm becoming much more educated in cigars. I've been working there for maybe 2 months. Thought I'd share this with y'all.

    A cool trick if you want to steal from them is to ask to take out the trash. You throw a few boxes of cigars in with the trash. Come back late at night and find your loot. They will never see it coming!

    I hope so, because there is no integrity in that, plus I would not want to do that to anyone, much less someone whom I like and admire.

    Yes, I was just kidding. I thought it would create a bit of a ruckus but be kind of funny at the same time. Sorry if my joke was harmful.

    Not harmful, just real bad taste. Dont worry about it, its not like I've never told a bad joke myself, water under the bridge.

    You were out of line with your lecturing and you're still trying to justify your obnoxiousness.....

    "Real bad taste" LMAO!!

    Nice to see we have an official CigarSmokers Minister of Taste to keep this place on the up and up.

    Please check your "life coaching" hat at the door, it's not needed here........

    What - bad taste because they're not smoking right? Maybe you're picking out cigars that are too strong. Better taste with cigars that are a tad milder.

    But - don't worry about it. It's water under the bridge.
