Re: B&M Pricing
The B&M I go to in Weymouth sells at MSRP, even Opus.

Re: B&M Pricing
I so hope that one day I can comprehensively evaluate the quality and ageability (is that a word?) on sampling a single cigar.

Re: B&M Pricing
Fair is relative, as Peter said.
The most expensive of Opus' current releases is around $75; how much would you expect this guy to sell those for after he invested in acquiring some, keeping them in good conditions, carrying the inventory costs, etc? It might seem expensive to you and me, working stiffs, if we saw them in his case for $99 a year from now, but that's a matter of perspective. |

We risk Home Depot-ing ourselves right out of good B&Ms in this industry if we aren't careful. It's all about balance. |
Re: B&M Pricing
"rare" or "hard to find" cigars can also be over priced online. A b&m near my house always has Liga Privada No. 9's in stock for cheaper then what I can find online.

Everyone knows that B&M's have better cigars so they can charge a premium! :banger

Remember OP that the measure of what a cigar is worth to a particular B&M is what he or she feels the market will bear. There is almost always a buyer for an item like those, it just might take some time. And sooner or later the two curves of price and time DO intersect. At least with habanos. Remember also that a lot of these HTF items in stores might as well be museum pieces and are often priced that way. . |
Re: B&M Pricing
Personally I honestly believe it can go both ways. There is a local cigar shop that DOES NOT allow you to sit down and smoke their cigars. There is no smoking anywhere in the shop. You are expected to buy your sticks, and leave. I only go to this shop when I want to sample something (read buy three of) before I buy a box online IF my local sit down and smoke shop doesn't have it in stock. Surprisingly, the owner of this shop is the first to complain about "internet sales" stealing their "business".
When I buy a cigar at a B&M, it is for the community. No community = No sale. Its that simple for me. I have DRASTICALLY cut back on visiting local shops because I believe that they price gouge. The community has gone away. Just my :2 . |
