Cigar Events Post Covid - Experiences

Hey all, went to my first brand event at local B&M today and was well underwhelmed. Honestly if I was Davidoff I'd be ashamed one of my brands was sponsoring. It had the typical free cigar per X bought etc and a raffle. But the brand didn't up the stock at the store. Of 5 lines for the brand only 3 where available, and one of them had less than a box of one vitola.

I know the pandemic put a crimp in production and I know I'm not in a big marker anymore, mid Atlantic east coast. But I've been going to events for 25 years. Did the pandemic lessen all events and it was just a shock for me being the first in about 4 years or what?

How's your retailers event experience lately?
