Default I'm a sucker

I went to my local B&M the smoke inn in st lucie west and i went to buy a fiver. i picked up the 5 i wanted and was looking for the rocky patels but I couldn't find them so i asked Casey (who manages the place) where the rocky patels were and he directs me there and before i head to the counter he says

"Did you see the new Fuentes?"

So i reached out my formerly broken arm and tell him to twist it and off we went. I picked up a couple Rosado Sungrowns but all Casey had to say to me was "rare" and "hard to find" and like the good sucker i am i went right to them so a fiver turned into a niner. Do you find yourself in this situation that much? Casey is a really big time enthusiast and just loved cigars. He's always making good suggestions and very few have ever been bad. I just get the image he sees me like a big walking lollipop. I did help him with a sale though so he gave me 20%off so that was pretty cool of him. Anyways, that was my little adventure yesterday. I hope this finds you all well! God bless you all!

The folks at my B&M are always spot-on with their recommendations, both for sticks I'll like and ones I probably won't. I just wish I lived a little closer to it so I could conveniently pop in more often.

I've got both kinds of B&Ms within driving distance, one that is spot on with almost every NC recommendation, and others that might as well throw a pointed cigar at a dartboard. Obviously the spot on one is where I usually find myself looking for NCs.

You want to talk about rare, I found a Hemingway rosado sungrown once years ago.
