Old Virginia Tobacco Company
I just got off the phone talking to Justin of the Old Virginia Tobacco Company (OVTC). I was recently referred to this company's website where I bought some nice VSG Sorcerers. I was checking up on my order which shipped via UPS the day after I ordered it. Justin was a great guy who let me play 20 dumb questions with him:
Q: You have a large selection of singles listed on your website; do you update your website with current inventory?
A: Yes and No. We update the website with all the cigars we carry along with their current prices. However, we may not have the listed cigars in inventory at the time of order. If we don't have a particular cigar that you ordered, we notify you right away via e-mail and you can always call our Toll Free Number (1-800-999-6882) and ask if we have it. We have 7 stores and a mail order business, so we move a fair volume of cigars and therefore, have a pretty robust inventory.
Q: Your prices for rare singles is MSRP or below. Why don't you price gouge?
A: The suggested price is given to us and that's what we charge. We don't feel a need to price gouge our customers. We appreciate our customers and value their business.
Q: Can I smoke in all of your stores?
A: Yes, all of our stores are located in Virginia and you may smoke in the store.
Q: A couple of your stores are located fairly close to me - about an hour away; how is the Pentagon City store?
A: That is one of our smallest stores. Many people say it has a quaint atmosphere because of its small size. The mall is beautiful and Metro accessible.
Q: How far is the store from the actual Metro Stop?
A: The Metro stop is right below the mall, so very close and all indoors.
Well, there you have it. I just wanted to share some information about this company. I think I will be doing more business with them. There prices are not the cheapest available, but they don't try to price gouge you over MSRP either.
(Disclaimer: While I have a pretty good memory, it is not a tape recorder. The answers provided by Justin of OVTC are approximate representations of his responses and NOT his actual words. It is possible that I completely fabricated every part of this post. However, I did not; I tried to make it as accurate as my memory allowed. See my Name's Forum Title at the top for confidence.)
