Bargain Bins

[ashauler]

My local b/m has a bargain bin.......off labels, and stuff that just doesn't move, finds its way there eventually. Most sticks are $1 to $3......I usually pick up one or two when I'm in just for the hell of it. Sometimes some pretty good smokes find there way to the bin too, so I always at least look.

How many of you guys have a b/m that does the same thing? Do you look too?

I wish! F-in NY prices. I would look if there was. I didn't see a suggestion box either...

Mine doesn't have a bin, but we have an entire display table that has all of the price tags taken off and a big sign that says "Let's make a deal" supposedly some quality smokes on the table, along with a bunch of humidors, although most of the smokes are sold off in boxes

I heard the owners of a couple shops talking about the business though, and apparently a lot of people are starting to buy bundles for their every day smokes, so I would suspect that bargin bins may begin to get more popular since more and more people are looking for a cheap smoke for a random occasion and not always a premium cigar.

During my last visit I noticed a glass-cased humidor near the front door (outside of their walk-in) with marked down cigars - the only thing I remember being interesed in were Stradivarius coffins at $10 each... went home & read a few reviews on 'em, never went back to pick any up.

Occasionally, my B&M will do this. Usually these are smokes I do not care for or have an interest in. About 3 years ago, I was able to score a half dozen CR Stanford's Cameroon Reserve Torps for about $4.50 each and felt really good because they were harder to find then after the first release and usually ran about $10 per stick when you could find them. I have picked up some petite Tatuajes for .75 cents each and some Camacho SLRs at almost free out of clearance bins, but nothing beyond that. In fact they should just rename it the Lars Tetens bin now... ...yuck!

Rball, if you see that sort of deal again on the Stradivarius, let me know and we could work out a favorable trade or I could send you some cash to grab me a couple-three.

My closest B&M, which is about an hour and forty minutes away, does have a bargain bin. I don't get their often, maybe twice in three months. I did get 2 Onxy for 2.00 each. They we'e on my try list, so I got them, not bad smokes.

My locale place does this. I look and sometime grab a few. Glutton for punishment.
