@TheCigarChick ,?

CIGAR.com does not have any outside sales reps. No territories, etc. We are an online cigar retailer.
@Krieg Is there something I can help you with?
If this whole “online” thing doesn’t work out for you guys I can Rep Eastern Massachusetts for you.
Duly noted!
I’ll take the southeastern territory. @VegasFrank can handle the desert region and we can have @Trykflyr_1 handle the great white north.
I’m in. Need a retirement hobby anyway...
Does it come with free cigars?
Yes your imaginary position comes with all the cigars you can smoke
Awesome!
Let me mail out a few letters with your request. It should only take six to eight weeks for a response.
Sorry, my mom was on the phone so I couldn’t get on AOL. What did I miss?
This is proving to be way easier than posting job openings on LinkedIn.
We got this @TheCigarChick 😂
Only if you have a walk in humidor
My favorite cigar list here
Once you guys take care of this I have a cigar box I would like you to identify
@deadman send some photos my way, unless this is a trick I’m going to live to regret
It’s a perdomo 😂
I’m almost certain one is a cat. But I can’t identify the furry creature at the top of the photo.
Tampa nugget
It's a mild cigar
Not sure what you're looking for, but here are some facts:
-In June 2009, the parent company to Hav-A-Tampa Cigars closed their Tampa location, which had been making cigars since 1902. (This was when we started to have to deal with those stupid Federal SCHIP taxes, FYI.)
-Tampa Nuggets, Tampa Sweets, and Phillies were made in this now-shuttered factory... It was locally owned until the late '90s, and then eventually got bought by Altadis, who shifted production to Puerto Rico for tax reasons.
-The "Tampa Nugget" name was registered on 23 October 1906 by the Krause Bros., the original owners of what became the Hav-A-Tampa factory. Tampa Nuggets were the factory's main cigar output for the first 10+ years of their existence, with production and demand increasingly year-after-year to the point where the company needed a larger factory, moving to what we now know as Ybor City.
-The box in your picture looks to be either in excellent condition, or from their later years in production. Tampa Nuggets came in three shapes -- Blunts, Sublimes, and Panatelas -- and that box you have held the "Blunts." (Yes, the name "blunts" had to do with cigars way before it was ever shifted to speak of pot.)
-Due to the word "Nugget" in their name, a catch phrase for this specific cigar was "Good as Gold". They were often sold in 50-count boxes, and eventually as we got to the mid-20th century, also were offered in foil-wrapped 5-packs.
-When they were first sold, Tampa Nuggets were 5 cents ea., eventually being sold two for 15 cents, and then a whopping 23 cents apiece
-Random fact, but Elvis Presley smoked Tampa Nuggets in the 1960s
-Fairly confident the Nuggets haven't been produced in the past 10 years, as the factory in PR which now makes the remaining Hav-A-Tampa brands is doing all the wood-tipped cigars, like Have-A-Tampa Jewels and Sweets
-Every time I type "Have-A-Tampa," I hear the stupid soda commercials and those girls say, "Don't you want-a-Fanta?" instead
Hope that helps!

Now that the new reps are deputized, can they get back to promoting our errant BOTL's video promotion business.
