Description

I help you buy and enjoy better cigars with The Cigar Trilogy: https://stantonhankins.com/ After 30 years behind a cigar counter in Louisville, I know the warning signs of a bad cigar shop. I’ll show you what to notice in the first 30 seconds—and the one question that can reveal whether a shop deserves your business. I cover the red flags I look for, from poor customer service and damaged cigars to bad humidity, fake Cubans, and mold sold as plume. I’ll also share three simple checks to make before you buy. 0:00 The Thirty-Second Shop Test 0:42 Nobody Says Hello 2:06 Cigars Outside the Humidor 3:35 A Sour-Smelling Lounge 5:15 Pinching the Cigar Head 6:40 Always Pushing Pricey Cigars 8:31 No Singles for Sale 10:02 Spotting Damaged Cigars 11:42 Mold Sold as Plume 13:22 Fake Cuban Cigars 14:52 The Humidity Test 16:36 Three Checks Before Buying #Cigars #CigarShop #CigarTips #CigarLovers
