The Cigar Jones Bloghouse

One of the things that makes Cigar Jones special is the willingness of our customers to step up and step in. For those unfamiliar with the way we do business here, just because someone helps you with your questions, rings up your sale, bags your purchase and says, "Have a nice day"...doesn't necessarily mean that person works here.

You see...as corny as it sounds...our customers really are like family. Lately, with Mike and I busy getting the new office ready, Princess K has been the one running the show. Pulling odd hours and often on short notice. Thanks a bunch, Kelly!

In other news, Tino's is open! Since most eveyone here has been there several times, the verdict is..."magnifico!" Great job, Guys!

The Cigar Jones Good Time Smoke 'Em While It's Legal Radio Hour begins soon. Stay tuned...

That's the time it took for me to win the bet. Thanks to Joann who made my victory possible.

For those of you that are fans of "Seinfeld", you'll recognize the name of this post. While the bet between Cheese and I has NOTHING to do with THAT...I can guarantee you that this one's in the bag.

I will win.

Unfortunately, if I tell you what the bet is...it will only prevent me (or delay me) from my ultimate victory. Once I win, you will be told that that I won. Only a select few individuals will ever be made aware of the exact nature of the bet.

In advance, I'd like to thank the person (or persons) responsible for my triumph:

(Choose One)

Chuck, Biscuits, Uncle Mike, C-Word, The Senator, Mark, Jeff, Brittany, Pauly, Tom, Slick Rick, Larry, Steve (all of them), Andy and Joann. You've all come through for me in the past. I trust you won't let me down this time.

May the best man win. Game on.

One of my favorite YouTube posters is lisanova. One of her latest bits involves guys who have "given up the nuts". This skit reminds me of three people. Paul (whose girlfriend Heather SHOPS for him at AE), Cheese (whose wife DRESSES him from The Gap) and Connor (who was so WHIPPED he moved to Colorado).

I think you guys are missing something.

For those of you that haven't heard...we're expanding. The real estate side of our operation has leased the space formerly occupied by Cafe De Lago. The build-out is a serious pain in the ass but, in the end, our agents will appreciate the new digs.

In cigar news, September set another record. The word is getting around and we're attracting more and more new/old customers. The Ashton ESG's came and went (at a fair price). It still amazes me how some shops stick it to their customers when the hard to get stuff comes around. There's some appreciation for ya'.

Speaking of the hard the hard to get stuff, Opus X is due in this week. Come and get 'em. No limit...and as usual...the best price in town. A sincere "Thanks" to you all.

PS: Tino's is set to open this week. Let's all show Steve and Tino some Cigar Jones Love.
