So I was at one of the local B&Ms today, and was purchasing some serie O and serie G, 2 of each to be exact, nothing big. And all of a sudden some lad that was standing behind me said "Today if you buy 4 you get 1 free" and hands me another serie G, not out of the cabinet but out of his suit coat - it was the Oliva rep, but I didn't really know what to say I kinda had that "gee thanks mister" look on my face I guess. :smiley36:
Thought that was pretty neat...anyhow...
Sounds like a good deal to me! I like the Serie G, have yet to try the O. I should go to my B&M more often in hopes of running in to a rep.
My B&M is having a Oliva event next week. I love the Serie O, but haven't tried the G yet should be a good opportunity to try one.
That's a pretty common deal at many B&Ms. The vendor varies from event to event.
You should go to your local b/m more to interact with other cigar smokers,and to support a local small business, not to score free shit.Quote:

If they invite me I'll sure stay and interact.
If I know a rep is going to be there a certain day then I would probably go out of my way to make it there. Otherwise I only go when I can find time. Like I said, its the reps job to get customers to their brand. I don't see the harm in wanting to get free stuff. /shrug
Got that deal at my favorite shop recently, plus an entry into a drawing for a kegerator. It worked, I went back to buy more. I mean, cigars keep well, might as well strike at opportunity.

My local B&M has at least one rep there per week and most of the events are "cut and light" the rep gives out sticks to try and runs specials with free sticks based on quantity purchased. As much as I've enjoyed the samples I've really enjoyed being able to shoot the S$!^ with other cigar smokers.
perdomo around my way today the 24th. hopefully they have some habano maduro boxes because they were all out the last time i went in.
