Not a bad joecigar deal.

Something different and decent for a change.

Pricing is maybe a little eh....

But if you compare it to b&m pricing...

IMFO B&M pricing is an irrelevant reference point.

Agreed, you don't compare the price of beer at a bar to that at a liquor store, do you?

Exactly, or wine at a restaurant to wine at the grocery store.

Or Bean's Deals vs 21st century deals.

I disagree with the analogies. Most of the time when I visit a b&m, I spend time there smoking. But many people walk in and make a to-go purchase. That's not the case at a bar or restaurant.

How does to-go or not-to-go have a bearing on the argument?  You'd better let the warden negotiate the new car deal, you've adopted UN-think.

Probably you needed to throw a #fakenews in there to get him to understand the argument.

Out here it is where you can't stop into a grocery or gas station and buy beer. And:

LMFAO, Indeed!

A lot of lower volume smokers go to B&M's thinking they will get some good advice on purchases...... Well if you think there is much or any validity to that then send the warden to a few B&M's to buy some cigars per their recommendations and see what she comes home with.

When we went to the new B&M for the Saturday retirement Herf the first thing the guy did was try to sell me on an RyJ.

Edit:  if Amazon sold Cigars the end of B&M's would be near but since newbies and low volume smokers have to search out good vendors, none of which they have ever heard of, they go to B&M's.

At least Prime members wouldn't have to worry about shipping costs anymore.

Bar and restaurant alcohol sales are exclusively on-premise consumption.  B&M cigar purchases are not.  So yeah, the analogy is poor.  I was just fishing for a GFY.

Not necessarily.  Did you not see my earlier post?  So GFY!

Beyond the newbie factor, browsing a decent B&M for a 2-3 sticks one hasn't tried is fun.  And they can be a good place to enjoy a smoke when the weather sucks.

And Amazon could get B&M prices because everyone just assumes Amazon has lower prices but most are aware of the existence of knockoff cigars and probably would not trust EBay on them, which is a valid idea. 

I use a certain kind of shampoo which is generally  not available at many stores, and recently Needed to restock. Amazon and EBay had it available for $10-12/bottle which is cheaper then the $15 at most barber shops.  HEB Grocery here actually sells it for $4.57/bottle, thus the assumption that Amazon and EBay are cheaper is nothing more than good marketing.

True, but it comes at a price and in high tax states it comes at a big price.
