What the heck is up with this place? I was in Lynchburg on Friday, December 5th to do some shopping with the Mrs. We drove by Tarazonas so I figured I'd stop by and have a good cigar for a bit and let take the car and go shopping. Went in and was so disappointed I nearly died. This place is a joke, and I damn near laughed till I cried when someone told me that the owner of this place claims to be a ""fine purveyor"" of cigars. Holy hell what a laugh. Hardly had any cigars in his ""humidor"". Which by the way, I've seen convenient stores with bigger humidors than this guy. The owner (Eddie) sat on the sofa playing video games and never once got up to assist me. It wasn't until I stood at the register for damn near 15 minutes and said, ""Hey, I need some help"" did the guy finally pause his have to come over. I told him I have a sister who loves Zanzibar clove cigarettes and did he carry them. Nope, not at Tarazonas, he doesn't carry ANY brand of cloves. When I asked why not he replied with ""Oh, well to carry a brand like Zanzibar I'd have to charge customers $20 a pack (not carton, but an individual pack) because they are an exotic import cigarette. What a load of B.S. In fact what if a whole heard of cattle swept through Wyndhurst and deficated everywhere it wouldn't be a bigger load of Sh*t than what this guy was spilling out of his mouth! My sister has bought Zanzibar Cloves every where from Toronto Canada, New York City, and little back woods ""mom and pop"" shops in the hills of Boone North Carolina, and she has never paid more than $6.50 for a pack (even in places up north where tobacco is more expensive.) This little guy and his store is a joke, clearly he knows nothing about tobacco sales, and even less about cigars. What a little clown.
Pros: Ha.
Cons: Everything from selection to customer service.
