today i went to a smoke shop that i usually dont go to.
they had a good selection.
I had my mind set that i NEEDED a Hoyo De Monterrey Dark Sumatra. I go and look for it. I find the Hoyo section. they had everything BUT the dark sumatra.
I go out to ask. The "tobaccanist" looks to be about my age (25-26 ish) He says they have them but I "have no idea what they look like" So I desctibe them:
Dark reddish brown wrapper, cedar sleave, black box, gold band, says "hoyo de monterrey" and "dark sumatra" on em
I even told him about the filler and binder. (honduran, dominican and Connecticut Broadleaf respctivly)
all he said was "no"
then handed me the cigar that i JUST DESCRIBED to him. this is the cigar you are looking for.
what did i learn? I need to order from cigar.com more often.
Im SURE that i know more about cigars than that guy did. Does anyone else feel that way about some of their local shop owners?
Nothing worse than being talked down to.
