Lots of disappointment tonight. Confirmed my Cohibas are fake... Tasted metallic and not smokable. (they were gifted so no money lost).
But, they left me wanting to smoke. I am on business and staying on alafaya in east Orlando. (about 68 degrees) so I went to a local to pick something up. I had been there about a year ago. Very nice place, in a newer high end shopping mega plaza on alafaya. So, I get there excited hoping to find some good htf stuff. They had wall humi's most only half full. Lots of empty boxes and most boxes very messy and cockeyed. Only about half priced. Advert. For tats but not a single one. Mostly your normal high run stuff. General cigar etc. Only a few real good smokes. The employee chatting with a friend paid little attention to me. The shop beautiful nice smoking area but a mess. I had planned to spend some dough and smoke there but just grabbed a Jaime to get me through the night. upon check out no matches so I had to buy a bic to take back to the hotel. Then I figure I would sign up on the mailing list to get specials and the guy says they don't really send out emails. Wtf, then why a sign up list next to the register? Grabbed my smoke and took off. What a shame as its a great location and nice place. Obviously a poor employee and bad management. If they are hurting and can't afford stock, fine but it doesn't cost anything to clean and organize. For those of you in business world a 5S kaizan was needed. God, I would love to run a place like that. What a waste.
