Scdalak Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just back from nice trip, thought i would share some store pictures. The proprietor was away at the Habanos Festival but his staff was excellent and allowed me to enjoy the humidor at my leisure. The last Pic is a box that Claus "lotusguy" actually had reserved with his name on it!! Small world right? Thanks for the 520 Claus!! Store had some excellent 50 Cabs of Punch and HDM Double Coronas, real gems... Unfortunatley they were just cost prohibative. Last several Pics are from the Duty Free at Frankfurt Airport. 5th Ave must really give the crap to Duty Free, I opened many boxes to finf very dull, green, moldy,overall poor quality sticks!! Prices are listed in Euros on shelves (duty free prices ofcourse) Mods not sure if this is OK with you, but seeing its Airport prices I am hoping you wont mind.. Do as you will!!

Scdalak Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nice Pics,have you been able to enjoy the rest of Stuttgart and what it has to offer?Not talking about the ugly construction site of Stuttgart 21. Yes it was kind of a mess in many areas. Weather was not cooperating, but we did get to enjoy most of the city. I stayed at Le Meridein so was easy to walk about and see the Arts, Musems, and culture. Was a beautiful city.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nice pics! Just a quick correction since I've been raging against the Monte 520, I did NOT actually reserve a box there... they somehow put those aside instead of my box of Punch Sir John RE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely view you as a valued customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Great pics. I felt the same slightly breathless feeling I always get stepping into a LCDH from looking at your photos. Acquisition anxiety, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scdalak Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 5th ave sent boxes not intact? Marc, Assuming you were not being fasieses ,(spelling? ) all the boxes were indeed opened, seal cut. There was not one box that would make Robs quality check... All rubbish... After i opend my 10th box in disgust, they started getting annoyed with me. So i ,moved on to the Duty Free Candy area.

mk05 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I meant that it would be interesting to note that a distributor knowingly gave crap to a certain retailer/store. I was assuming that the more likely case was that the store has been picked clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
