Buy online or in store?

When I was near the cigar bar in San Mateo I would try to give them money in some fashion, whether it be lots of pool, beer (even though I'm not a beer guy) or a couple sticks. I usually smoked my pipes then though and they didn't stock pipe stuff, so it was more beverage sales. Since I have moved away recently I don't have a local outlet. Most of my cigar and pipe tobacco purchases are online though. Selection, pricing, and not having to leave the haus makes it far too convenient not to, but I still tried to support local if I felt they deserved it.

It used to be about 50/50 until i moved back to NY. I just cant afford to buy a lot of smokes at a B&M with the way the tabacco taxes are here. I will still stop at the Indian Reservation from time to time if im in the area. They are still tax free there.
