Is the house cigar at your local B&M any good?

[bballbaby]

Our local B&M has the Jim Reed Cigar. Jim was one of those iconic guys that you could always count on to be at the shop. A mason by trade he owned his own business and drove very fast BMW's motorcycles when harleys became too slow for him. Jim had a long gray beard, tats on both arms and would scare the hell out of you if you ran into him on a dark street and didn't know him. But if you knew him you knew he would give you his last cigar or the shirt off his back if you were in need. Jim passed away quite suddenly making one last trip to the shop between chemo treatments just to smell the smoke from the cigars. He left a wife and two young kids behind. The Jim Reed cigar is something really special. Oh it tastes OK but all profits go to a fund to put the kids through college. We keep a picture of Jim up in the shop to remind us that cigars are made to be smoked today because sometimes tomorrow just isnt guaranteed.

Some of you have received these from me. They come with a small picture of a tough looking dude with a long grey beard. Enjoy them.

Very very cool chuck. Awesome story

My local B&M has an incredible house stick. It is called the Cheroot by La Flor Dominicana. This shop is the only one in the world you can get it. It is a 100% pure ligero cigar that Litto used to hand out to his friends. My shop owner got him to produce them for him. If anyone wants any, a new shipment is coming in, They go for 150 plus shipping for a box of 20, they are fantastic but they pack a hell of a punch.

Yeah the Cheroots are redonkulous. They'll make the toughest Tattie smoker fall to the floor whimpering. But that's how our buddy Hal (shop owner) rolls. I'll post a review of the Cherrot shortly.

One person just needs to buy the box and offer 3 fivr's for sale. Not that I want anything made soley of LIGERO, but just my .02.

i thought the same thing too. It's strong but not harsh. if you like LFDs you'll love this cigar.

I would really love to try some, but what is the discount?

In this picture, they are labeled as $7 ea.

They like anything are worth what you're willing to pay, but at $45 for a fiver, I'm gonna pass until I either have more flow or could maybe work up a trade.

nice pic. it's from my blog.

I know... I thought the same thing. But Litto's ligero is the only ligero that has made me green in the gills in the past... (maybe its all the selenium in the soil:transform)

How much for a box?
