What % of your purchases are through a B&M vs. through the Internet

[Moro]

B&M 70%/30% online

I agree, great price, but that's $300 I could spend on smokes.

And I would have to spend my $300 online. I know, I know...but the Tax is crazy, a $12 stick anywhere else is $18-20 here. forget that. I'll take my chances with back tax. The E-tailers are all run by real people too and are local to someone, most of them have a B7M too. So what if we order from say Cigar King in AZ. They are just a hometown B&M with a website.

BTW, Cigar King also owns the Phatash website but sometimes the prices differ between the two.

Cigar King is a great place in part because it does so much e-business that it has a huge warehouse in addition to the walk-in up front. And good people besides. Also, they have weekly sales that usually include a 12-pack of 3 or 4 varieties.

Do JR and Cigars International have B&M's anywere?

In answer to the question, I spent about $25 on c-bid once so I guess it's about 99+ / 1 in favor of B&M's. But some of the online prices do look pretty good.

i'm about 95% BnM and 5% net.

my closest b&m is 25 miles away and didnt' even carry tat's until this year. i stop by there if i want to buy one or two sticks, or if they have something new, but usually they don't. and they are only a shop with no facility to smoke. i could go 40 miles to get to one that does, but i can smoke at home.

100% of my box purchases are online between US and EU. I will buy handfulls of sticks here and there from my B&M.:smokingbo

I wish I had a B&M to support, but with the closest one an hour away, I am 99% online 1% B&M, if I am traveling I always try to drop into a B&M and buy a stick or 2

I am about 50/50. Most boxes are purchased thru the internet and a lot of my singles via B&M.

CI has an outlet store in Bethlehem, PA and a warehouse store in Nazareth, PA.

Probably about 80 internet / 20 store for me. Singles in store, if I like them, I'll go for a box somewhere cheap.

I hate to say it but probably 95% of my purchases have been online, I only know of two B&M's near me(20 minutes away), and the only one you can smoke in is always cloudy as hell and half full of cigarette smokers(I smoke cigs too but never indoors).

 

[VillageIdiot]

My "local" shop is over 50 miles away, so 99% net and 1% B&M. I'd probably shop more from a B&M if I had one closer with a good selection.
