I guess I misspoke. I meant to say a B&M store you trust.
I drive 2 hours to get to a shop I trust. There are two an hour or so closer, but one is highly overpriced and the other is not much more than a discount tobacco shop.
The shop in Little Rock that I shop at has always started by asking what I am looking for and I can honestly say that they have never tried to push a brand on me. They tend to start by suggesting the $10-15 cigars, but when I politely told them that wasn't my price range they spent just as much time helping me shop for a $3-6 stick as they did the people around me who were spending more money.
One of the most ironic parts of growing old is sitting down and enjoying a smoke with the children who used to sneak around behind your back to smoke a cigarette.
