damaged freight stores and the like. Most of you are probably familiar with these. There are some quite large ones in various cities- I used to regularly go to one in Independence, Mo. They buy damaged freight, overstocks, bankrupt companies, etc. I don't ever recall seeing tobacco items at that one, but I found one today in Springfield, MO that had a tobacco "store" at one end. I'm guessing these were No high end regular cigar items, but they had quite a supply of cigarillos, flavoreds, quite an assortment of pipe tobacco, Black & Mild and all those kinds of small cigars, plus Bering Casinos, Cuban Rejects and so on. Very decent prices.
Just shows you that it pays to be alert, I probably wouldn't have noticed it at all, as I was buying mainly groceries, but they had a sign that said:
"All tobacco items have to be paid for in the tobacco dept." Whoa.... you have a tobacco department?...
