Cigars at Costco?

[Kimyounil]

Have any of you guys heard of cigars at costco? I know that a costco near me, northern Virginia, has begun to carry cigars. Any thoughts? Costco is great for bulk, but when it comes to quality, it is really hit or miss. So if anyone has had any experience I'd appreciate the comments.

I dunno about Costco, but the SAM's here has a "Humidor cart" operated by some third-party vendor. It's got a digital guage in there and everything, and it was reading 69% when I saw it. The cigars were packaged up in 5 and 10 packs...unfortunately, they were mainstream NCs like Romeo y Julietas, Montecristos, Partagas, and of course Macanudo.

I'd be curious what Costco is like (since it's right down the street) but I haven't gotten a membership there yet...

If they can't beat internet prices, why bother fighting the crowds and searching for parking?

I'm gonna have to check in my area.
A quick search online came up with this.

Sorry, I'm not interested in purchasing my cigars at Costco or Sams. That is unless they will let me smoke while I shop.

I would be concerned with the RH of the sticks

If I'm going to buy cigars from a store, it damn well better have a walk-in humidor, that's half of the experience for me. Otherwise, I'll buy online.

The ones I have seen in Sam's or Costco were not in a humidor. They were wrapped in plastic and on a table/shelf.
