In my experience, cigars that can be had for cheap online, especially at auction, aren't gonna move well... Similarly, robusto's, corona's, and lanceros tend to sit around a little longer...
Jaime Garcia Especial toro's are a great deal for the shop and the customer... Tat blacks and padron 64's are great if you have the audience for them...
Yup that’s nearly what I was going to suggest that they carry. Jaime Garcia petit robustos for a quick smoke going into winter here, Tatuaje Cojunu capa especial, and Padron 64 maduro diplomaticos.

I’ve been contacting company cigar reps that cover Kansas.

To me, this raises some red flags and really question if the shpo will be able to handle the (...sudden...) upgrade in inventory and knowledge. Smaller incremental brand additions as well as finding knowledgeable workers might be a more pragmatic and viable plan.
Best of luck to the shpo and your efforts to help them.
Indeed and I have been telling my contact at the shpo details about the companies that I’m contacting so they won’t be in the dark completely.
A box of crowned heads la imperiosa, Padron maduro and Tatuaje (fill in the blank) would improve their shelves quite a bit.
Thank you, I hope this works out well. Some things where a person is just trying to help have the tendency to blow up in ones face.
