So today while driving around I stopped into a B&M, that although close to my house - I had just never been into. Not a big place but they have a nice walk-in humidor. I smiled when I saw the "weather" display hanging in the room - 68 degrees and 68 humidity. Better than a lot of them I've been in. So I start to browse - not bad selections along with some house brands. After a few one of the two employees comes and places a few boxes on the shelfs - asks me if I need any help. No I say - he starts to leave and then I ask if he has any Short Stories - been wanting to pick up a box. Tells me no - they only get a few boxes per month and normally any Hemingway stock goes fast. Long story short - we chat for a few - I pick up a few Sopranos just to have - a few Don Lino Africa and he offers me a house brand smoke, I tell him to give me a few more (to buy). We go outside of the humi - more chat while I pay - and he hands me a Sopranos hat! Score -
So more chatting and I ask if he has a cutter - I'll light up one of the house brands - of course he gives a good cutter to use and then a freebie cutter. Nice. Go back into a mini lounge and we talk some more and guess what - UPS truck (I guess - didn't see the driver) drops off a large box. "Oh - Fuente shipment" he says. He opens up the box and there it is - one box of Short Story's. Mine I say! Sold and score -
Some days it just best to stay put -
