This is a pretty big assumption. In talking with the owner at my lounge. He does get few from distributors but orders from the manufacturer on most. And I believe(at least it would make sense) that the big internet guys do too.

I wish I could say you were wrong. However, working at a B&M, we order 90% off our stock straight from Avo, LFD, Tatuaje, Oliva, etc. We have a couple of big distributors we deal with i.e. General and Altadis. However, most of our stuff as I said, comes from the companies themselves.
