...the guy at the counter is a knucklehead. What a putz. Where does he believe you're going to sell Gurkha Beauty's for $20 each? Door to door? You should have told him to put his money where his mouth was - if they were such a value, buy two of those cigars for $40 and give you the three others for free. I betcha that woulda gone over well. Doesn't surprise me for CI, though...

Was the Short Story a Maduro or Natural (I prefer the Maduro)? Not a huge fan of the Short Story vitola, preferring the Work of Art much better. And if truth be told, the Hemingway Signature or Classic Maduro's are in my top 10 list of favorites.
