jawofboston Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The local B&M is closing. It's a sad day for all Cigar lovers in the Hartford area (Connecticut, USA) to know that a great community of friends is being scattered. Of course there were no Cuban cigars to be had in this place, but there was friendship and good conversation and a lot of watching women walk by on warm summer days. There's no replacing spots like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeafLover Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 If the B&M closed down because it couldn't survive financially, that is a tragedy as you know someone's livelihood has been lost. If it closed because of another reason other than finances, there might be a silver lining to it for you in that you might want to think of opening one up yourself since there is a community there that can support it. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. Don't tempt me! It's primarily a retirement issue. Sadly, with the tax situation in my State I think a lot of people get the majority of their cigars online. Not to mention the folks that mostly smoke Cubans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's primarily a retirement issue. At least it's a case of wants to rather than has to - unfortunately not good for you in either case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
