not sure where the gentleman claiming BLC is $2-3 more than at home is from; comparing prices all over CMH has Jeff and the guys anywhere from $0.40 to $2.00 a stick cheaper than other shops. As for stale and bitter, I find that difficult to believe; the humidor at BLC is checked and maintained daily, and the smell in the humidor is tobacco, not exhaust fumes, nothing to change the flavour from regular tobacco to sour and bitter.
Pros: lots of parking, good selection, good prices
Cons: less support for pipe-smoking than for cigars
