...I have my first cigar job this summer, working in the Humidor at a local liquor store chain (Binny’s) which sells a fair amount of smokes. So far, it’s pretty enjoyable!

Congrats buddy !
I had a one day cigar shop job myself. The owner wanted to see if I would fit in. I did. He wanted me to work certain days at certain times, and it was all wrong. So I told him I couldnt accept his dates. We are still friendly, and kind of chuck about it a few years later.

I am actually fairly positive that is the only Binnys I have shopped at in my life. Stopped in for a bottle of 1 Barrel rum recommended by Stew H and grabbed a couple tasty Flor de Oliva Corojo Robustos. That was years ago now when I was at a convention at the College of DuPage.

Congrats Mike! Way to live the dream!

Exactly. It used to be attached to that Home Depot but moved across the lot into the former Golfsmith store.

One of the cool in working there is, of course, being around all the different cigars, etc. I also get to see some unique box sets (like a special 10-count case of Opus X’s that includes several BIG sizes, $215) and some shake-your-head items. Like this box of Fuente Don Carlos’ (modeled by my Humidor mate, Jimmy) that came with a pair of white, monogrammed cotton gloves for proper handling. Behold...
