Thanks for all the input guys, I really appreciate it. Your comments are right along the lines that I expected them to be. I certainly hope to provide an atmosphere that will make people want to hang out and chat and smoke. That's what is lacking at the existing stores.

Being new to cigars myself, just over a year smoking them, I am trying to absorb as much information and knowledge as I can......so the "knowledgeable" staff may be somewhat lacking to start with, but there will be no lack of courtesy and effort put forth to make the customers happy........I just won't have this huge wealth of knowledge to draw from. I mean, I know what I like, but I won't have smoked every cigar that will be in my humidor....unless I start with a very limited inventory.
