Any fellow TX brothers attending?
Probably a good idea to head over to the introductions section, introduce yourself and read important information that all new members need to know.My fellow Texans (Houstonians),
I'm curious for feedback from you Houston BOTL or Texas guys on buying cigars from the B&M that is an actual liquor retailer. Because that's where as a newbie I WAS grabbing my sticks, but sadly 80% were dried out and fell apart when I smoked them. Full disclosure, I was buying discount sticks, so that may have contributed greatly to the problem, but I also had a buddy recommended I try a B&M that only sold tobacco, cigars & pipes. He said once I went into an actual B&M that'd never step back into our buddy friend w the glasses humidor again. I remembered Serious Cigars from an earlier online search and dropped in and was blown away (definitely never going back to the bunny-whose downtown humidor had a large selection, but was as temperature controlled as a closet. Talked to a sales guy once and went through numerous suggested sticks that had hard spots, knots, were brittle and dried out).
So I'm curious on two things: You sharing your thoughts and experiences w Spec's re sticks and 2) Any B&M recommendations for me to visit in the greater Houston area?
Thanks in advance.
