I hate 99% of B&M's.... there I said it. I hate being bothered, and for some reason most of the time I still get bothered after the initial "No thanks". The hovering over me in the humidor really turns me off too. The posturing I've seen and general know-it-all ness from from "cigar shop" guys is always good for a laugh, but I much prefer online shopping, and its not because of pricing either, its because I can browse in peace and try things most shops don't and won't ever have.

I'm not stating its a fact for everybody, but for me, by and large, I can't stand B&M's.



That said, Winston's Humidor in Richmond VA is the exception.

I like the b&Ms for the atmosphere and the fact that if I know of a cigar I want to try I can do that without buying a 5er or ship a single. I will agree some B&Ms will hover over you and make you feel cramped. I have 2 that I go to on a regular basses and feel vary comfortable with the staff.
