2009 Update

First of all, Happy New Year!  For most of us, 2008 was a tough year and 2009 isn't looking so much better.  On the bright side though, premium tobacco is still around as a "relaxation endorser".  

As some of you may know, the fear of the SCHIP expansion proposal is creeping up on us quick.  Just know this, IPCPR has been fighting hard for retailers like me and consumers like yourself.  Either way, there WILL be a tax increase on cigars and pipe tobacco.  Maybe it will be soon, or maybe they will drag it out a month or two.  

My advice to consumers, come in and get what we have at the price it is now.  For the reasons above, we have decided to continue our sales of the samplers we put together.  These sticks are still marked down over 20%, and there are three samplers for three different smokers.  Don't worry, they're not throw-aways.  These are great smokes!

Here's some great news for those who want something new to smoke during the Super Bowl.

This week we added the Joya De Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Belicoso and the Savinelli Special Selection 2005 Toro to the humidor.  As you can see by clicking the link, the Savinelli was recently listed on Cigar Afficionado's top 25 cigars of 2008.  Now's your chance to find an amazing smoke for under $7, come in and try one.  As for the Joya De Nicaragua, if you're a new cigar smoker, I suggest you stay away.  However, it burns even and delivers a spicy, chewy smoke with woody notes throughout, and has a finish packed with flavor.
