It's been a while since I’ve made my weekly call to Micah. My last phone order with Micah was in early 2010, I did drop some cash with TPS during the 1st CincyTucky Herf. At the time I stopped ordering from TPS I had to make a choice whether to spend my bucks locally so I could have a B&M and club to smoke at during the cold Chicago winter and bad weather days. The club I belong to has this deal; if you spend on average $250 a month there, then you’re a member for a month. At first I thought and I bet you feel that $250 a month is a rip-off to belong to a BYOB smoking club and B&M owned by the same people. If the $250 was strictly a cash transaction for membership I would agree, however the $250 goes towards cigars.
Keep in mind you don’t have to purchase $250 at once but you do during the first month; after that all your purchases are tracked electronically and added as you go but you have to do the $250 a month in purchases. You could also go in one day spend $1000 on cigars and accessories and you’re now a four month member
Now divide the $250 a month by 30 days, it comes out to about $8.40 a day. On a typical day I smoke 3-4 cigars and then one day I may only smoke 2 and another day I smoke 5-6.
I go through many more at a Herf; for example CincyTucky, Nebraska and Hooserville, Indiana. I go through at least a box or more in three days when I go to a Herf, keeping in mind that box includes sharing with fellow Herfer’s, round trip travel time by ground not air from Chicago to wherever; I give Several Huge Thank you’s !! to Mark M. Kasper aka-MMK~ for driving or I wouldn’t be able to go due to health issues and driving long distance..

I also need a place to stash all my cigars, I own a large amount of cigars and I'm probably a member of this club for several years now. The club allows me to store as many cigars as I want in their humidor securely locked in a large cabinet which is 20-30 minutes from home. The owners also provided me with a small locker at their B&M which10-15 minutes from home.
After reading JoeEd’s opening comments to this thread and knowing I’m a member at a club or B&M for several years I’ll be talking to Micah this week. When I use to purchase almost exclusively from TPS I was never disappointed. I was always given great advice, friendly conversation, I was never pushed to purchase anything like a “Micah’s Daily Deal”, I was always given great advice. I’m also very fortunate to live in a shipping zone where I usually found my TPS order at the door the day. I’ve also purchased accessories including a few XIKAR Lighters, Punches, a humidor, juice for my humidifiers, and much, much more.
Joe you are correct when you said “Through this site I was fortunate enough to have met Micah and learned really quickly what it was I was missing.”

Micah I’m going to call you on Monday, give you a dollar amount and ask for you to pick out an assortment for me. We’ll talk more on the phone; if I recall your days off are Thursday and Sunday. Tuesday afternoon you’re extremely busy getting ready for the evenings events. Typically if I call my order in before 11:00 Eastern Time the order will ship the same day 90% of the time.

Micah and the PS crew are great. I've been away for the past 90 days or so moving the family to Portland and the first call I made today was to Micah to restock some sticks. Thanks Micah!

"Micah, Micah, Micah!" Guys you're going to make Jan--uh, I mean Kevin--from Party Source jealous. Let's also give a shout out to Mike, Carroll, Josh, and humi-newbie John while we're at it.

 

After all it was Kevin who drew my raffle ticket for that fancy Xikar lighter/cutter last week, which stopped me from asking 'Did I win?' for a few hours.

 

Hmm, two of the PS humi crew are named Mike and Carroll, just like the parents on the Brady Bunch. Prob'ly just a coincidence.
