I really like this feature you’ve been running. It’s a great idea. I have a different take on the online retailer thing you mentioned in features and usability. I am sort of a champion of the local tobacconist. I am all about supporting the local guy and letting the internet giants fend for themselves. They already have enough built in advantages over the B&M shops, I feel the cigar mfgs should do a little more to promote those shops that carry their cigars and not hurt them B&Ms further buy using their website to drive traffic to the internet vendors. Most online shoppers know who the big internet guys are and know where to find their smokes. Local B&M’s provide more than just cigars. in most cases you are also getting a place to smoke and a community of cigar lovers to interact with. So I say it’s a good move on Perdomos site not to promote the internet vendors and I bet their B&M accounts appreciate it as well.

I think I just came up with the idea for my next article on my blog. :)
