Oliva Serie 'O' Robusto (5.0"x50) - 10 / $70.00

surprisingly my local ABC store sell the O maduro cheaper.

I think most cigar lounges sell the O for cheaper than what CI is currently showing.

Not here in NYS

nothing is cheaper in NYS except wages.
morning Rick.

You should see... Here in WNY Every place of business, mostly restaurants have a sign out front for hire. Some places have restricted hours. No one wants to work? They are already paying out only a few bucks less than some skilled labor. I don't know what's going on??

many businesses here closing due to being understaffed. almost everybody hiring at $15+ an hour but nobody want to work. I have no idea how they live. Florida is not a welfare state.

Yeah I don't know what is going on. I have not had a raise in 7 years and these people are coming up on skilled trades. It's not fair.

Over/Under for today is 12.
Raz Over/Under is 18

I've got 11. I suspected Schwarzenegger was Arnold's son but I can't pick him out of a lineup, nor did I know he was an actor.

I hear you on the raise thing. They're extremely hard to come by. Not sure what the heck is going on. My daughter had a part-time job this summer paying $15/hour. She did real well considering she doesn't have any expenses and had nowhere to go.

So true. I remember working for peanuts but I was learning a trade. My Grandpa used to say when you learn something they can never take it away. Now it's no longer about quality it's how much is this gonna cost.

For sure. Your grandpa was a wise man.

Different daughter. But that one stashed away some cash too when she was working part-time for a local pharmacy.
