Bad local experience.

They should have given a refund.
If they are the only ones in your area, mail order.
Don't patronize them again and write this loss off as a small price to pay.

I feel your pain brother. I live in an area baron of smoke shops. The tobacco smoke bans are killing us. I went into a tobacco retailer (Smoker friendly Parkersburg WV) the other day and saw a big stocked case of cigars. There were some good brands but the case was not a humidor. No climate control at all. Upon close inspection I found it to be an unsealed, open to the store glass display case.
On the brighter side I was in Charlston WV before Christmas and found a delightful little shop called The Squire. Well stocked and a helpful staff. It was within walking distance of the mall. The wife shopped I went and enjojed a Gurkah Legend and got to handle and compair the Xikar vs the Palio cutters. (Liked the style of the Xikar but the Palio provides a better cut. I guess function is better than form.)
