WOAM, I screwed up

I went into the B&M I usually go to in Detroit yesterday, mostly to pick up a few RP Missiles and lucked out 'cause they had maduros in stock, so I bought 6. On the way out of the Humidor, I took a look through the Fuente section of shelves and lo & behold was a full box of WAOMs with a 5er on top of the box. I thought really hard about buying the works but he wanted $10.95 ea for 'em. I thought that was gouging a bit, and since I'm doing my best to build up my smoking budget for next months Cuba trip, I held off and didn't get any (I have a couple in the big humi.

I left the store and was still thinking about that box. All the way through the day, it popped in my head and I wondered if I did the right thing and finally I said "Fuggit" and went back to the store. the wife says "What are you doing, you were already in there once". I told her there's something I gotta get.

I went in and gawddammitt they were gone. The guy said one guy bought the works about 10 minutes after I had been there earlier.

I could have had 15 for ~$140 taxes included, or $290 for all 31 ($9.31 a piece).

While this is a buck & a bit more each than on-line, they're almost impossible to find.

Let the butt-kickin and flaming begin, and I deserve it.

Ah well, I still prefer the signature maddies to the woam.:smiley20:

edit: and I think that a $290 box of cubans > WOAM.

I guess...but you never know what you may find buried in the corner somewhere while you are down there.

Hey Jim,

Stop hitting yourself over the head and put $300 extra for the Cuban trip shopping spree :smiley2:

Don't sweat it bro ,WOAM are good but are not the end all cigar. Money is better spent on Fuente Sungrowns IMHO


As your cigar knowledge and smoking expierences grow I promise you will not foam over a rare Fuente as you once did. I am saying this as firsthand knowledge . You know what I do with stuff like that? I buy the box and sell off 5 ers at no profit of it to brothers who have no local around them or get buttraped by their local. Actually the price you quoted is close to buttrape prices.

Enjoy cuba all the more, say hi to Castro for me.
