I知 in cigar retailer hell.
I just moved to Clarkston, WA which has a city directly across the border of Idaho called Lewiston.
I first looked in the phone book and after a few calls found that there were two stores in the area that have a walk in humidor. I didn稚 think that was so bad considering the population of the area. Having been to both stores not only is the selection and pricing very poor the condition in which the cigars are kept is absolutely atrocious! Dry as a bone! Looks like its 100% mail order for me now. I知 really going to miss walking into a humidor and shopping. I didn稚 realize how much I enjoyed that experience. |

That does sound like a real bummer. It's hard to beat a good B&M.

That does suck, my friend. There is something special about the B&M experience that definitely can't be duplicated.

What a shame. Look on the bright side: At least mail order exists!

Welcome to the club.... What is even worse is having a store near you that is exorbitant. Thankfully the web exists.... If you need a thousand cigar websites to order from, let me know. John

Sorry to hear that. Every cigar smoker deserves access to a good B&M shop -- for buying singles to just taking about cigars.

Might it be worth a mention that their walk ins are too low on humidity? They might chase you out, but you might make a friend and a new cigar home all at the same time.
