Perhaps you should fine something to do that is productive that having a cigar can accompany. That way, you are not "just smoking," but are doing something more "worthwhile." The cigar doesn't have to be the focus. Or just always have cigars on hand for your daily travels.

This goes for both Kip and Craig, or anyone else. Studying for Spanish class or preparing for the English class, to me, would be ideal situations for a cigar.

I wonder if the lull is all FDA related. I know that Death Star lurking has put my retail plans of hold...
I had no idea you were considering a shop, Ian. Where? How concrete were your plans?
Pretty solid plans, despite the deadly tobacco tax here and the whole "no smoking indoors" thing. Found a way around those by planning a mobile lounge, like a food truck but for cigars. Unfortunately, I wanted to offer only (mostly) boutiques, and my margins were going to be thin as it stands today. I'm in a conundrum of its still within my spirit to do it with whatever Altadis and
General sticks are leftover in the fallout...

Mobile cigar lounge sounds dynamite. Wish I could do something like that here in NYC.
It's funny, so many people here smoke cigarettes, but light up & smoke a cigar, and everyone immediately loses their mind!

Head to Florida, Ian. There's a special licene for mobile tobacco sales. It's $50/year, and the cost to file an LLC Annual Report is about $140. Do the other associated paperwork (taxes, etc) and you're in business. Weather is great to run it year round at outdoor events, also.
