As you all mentioned, it very much depends on how your local Tinder Box is run. Back in the day, I worked at a Tinder Box and the owner was very into cigars and actually trained new employees (both in cigars and how he expected the employees to interact with the customers). Yes, I can think of one employee who was an ahole, but on the whole all of the employees were knowledgeable about cigars and treated all of the customers respectful and well. Regarding what new cigars the owner would bring into the shop, he along with the sales manager went to Vegas on a yearly basis and they would bring in new cigars which they thought would sell and were good. Any questionable cigars were distributed to the staff and if we thought one was great, it was likely to added. Although his shops were run well, I did vist a Tinder Box in another city (not owned by the same owner) and the customer service and cigar selection sucked! So, all in all, it really just depends on how your local Tinder Box is run. I guess this is why this particular Tinder Box owner has done so well in the cigar industry.
