I'll be frank. I'd rather by swisher sweets from the gas station than anything at this place. The guy who owns it is completely obnoxious and was obviously coked-up out of his mind on the few ocasions I was there. He tried to sell me knock-off Cohibas, and then dropped a line of bullshi+ about pre-embargo Cuban cigars on me. The most recent time he tried to sell me Davidoff seconds. Fair enough I thought. I imagine the cigar would have tasted exponentially had I dipped it in toilet bowl cleaner. Coincidentally I called a friend of mine from college who owns a cigar shop in Champagne Illinois. Apparently, Davidoff does not produce or distribute ""Seconds"" for the consumer market. My advice to the little guy who wears the hat all the time is this:\r
\r
1. Sell your store on Brady street to the people who own JR. They run a better operation.\r
2. Stop false advertising. Even if you are just exaggerating, you are still breaking the law.\r
3. Hire people who know what they are talking about. (You should probably catch up on your reading too.)\r
4. Get a humidor that works. Every cigar I've smoked from there has fallen apart.\r
5. Cater to your market. Cigars are a luxury item. Your store looks like a head shop. Get with the program.
Pros: Free cigars when CAO comes
Cons: Just about everything about the store.
