Portland is not exactly a large city by some standards, but we are lucky to have a lot of B&M's -- at least eight that I can think of off the top of my head and there are probably more. This is not counting any in nearby Vancouver, Salem, etc.
I know that B&M's can be more expensive, but it is really nice to be able to go in and look at, touch, and smell a cigar before you buy one. It's also nice to be able to hang out and talk with the tobacconists at the B&Ms.
Don't get me wrong I buy from the Internet too, but I always spend some money at the local stores.

They have a large Humi just to the left of the main door, and when I asked her to open it, they may have had 10 boxes in it, when it can clearly hold 10-20 times that. Guess I will be doing all my purchasing online now.

Maybe you should look at this as an opportunity and ask them if you could take it over, or if not take it over at least help them stock it and or sell cigars
