Interesting! I'd do the same thing, but the B&M's all look the same here (pdf): http://www.mhp.gov.on.ca/english/hea...atSheet-EN.pdf

FYI, a nice article on cigar store indians I found a while back (pdf): http://www.evanschuman.com/clips/Americana.pdf

Come on Craig, the OCE in Ottawa is allowed to have all their cigars on display, they have a certified Tobacconist there so they get away with it that way.

That nub stand display is pretty neat. Is it a trash can or table, something functional, or is it just a display?

It is just for display. I think it would go great in your living room.

Thanks for the article. The expeditions are really more about cigar shops as a gathering place and their role in the larger cigar community. It's too easy to forget the value of being part of that community. I thought this would encourage our members to take a closer look at their local B&M's and enhance their appreciation of the industry. Sorry for the blah, blah, blah philosophy. Anyway, thanks again.

I forgot about OCE. I haven't been to OCE in about a year, and it hasn't been for lack of trying. Even when the hours posted on the door (and website) says that they're supposed to be open - they've been closed. I used to try and drop in every few weeks after work; I haven't bothered for a few months now. Fugg'em, Matthew gets all my business now.
