Thompson Cigar Co - It isnt so bad...

[TommyTree]

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.

Unfortunately, you can't get a premium cigar for less than about $10 in Arkansas. Damn 68% state tobacco tax.

Do those prices also apply to factory seconds? Cigars like 333, private stock, Consuerga's and the like?

I can't imagine being taxed so heavily that a $3 cigar becomes $10... Bummer...
