Very sad! One of the traditional brands twisting in the wind.

The company was run by the Sherman Family, some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. One of the last great tobacco shops in NY..... in fact, it was the last great one.
Increasing taxes, rents, and smoking prohibitions have seen the number of places that can be reasonably called a cigar shop dwindle from literally thousands to virtually none. |

A side note - I've had several friends, and at least one family member, tell me about some great cigars they got on clearance at their local B&M.
"Metropolitans" they called them. One look at the band told me they were indeed Nat Sherman cigars. Sad end to a great marque.
