    Default Is this a good deal ???

    OK after trying Padron Aniversario 1964 I am a fan for life. So I tried looking up the deals on the net and the best I can find is $255 a box, which is a bit too much for me right now.

    Today I went into one of the cigar stores in the city and they have this cigar in Exclusivo shape for $12 a stick. IS that a good price to pay if I want to buy a few sticks.


    Also if it is and someone else wants some as well please let me know I think I will be in that store again sometime next week.

    Dan, do not buy Padron '64's '26's or any aniversarios in NYC, they will bend you over and rape you. Not just the B&M, but the state, the tobacco tax is just ridiculously high. Stick to buying premiums on the web if you can.

    I just picked up Imperials for $10/stick at my B&M.

He said he'd rather make a smaller profit than overcharge a customer. After he picked up a couple, I followed suit.

    As a sidebar, I went in looking for interesting sticks - found a couple that looked like the Fuente BTL - asked about it, and the same guy said "tell you what - you stick around for 15 minutes, tell me what you think about it, and you can smoke it for free."

    Yes, I like this store.

    That's sweet! Too bad we (me & slcraiders) don't have any place like that in UT. Sound to me that that a pretty smart guy to offer that. He gets the review of the cigar and a new faithful customer, as I'm sure you'll be buying there more often now.
