Well fellas it's been quite a ride. 14 years of good friends and great memories. Earlier than I wanted to go out, but I understand the economic climate we're in. The perfect storm of tariffs, gas prices and online buying makes it very difficult for brick and mortar cigar shops. But I walk out of here knowing that I gave it my best and I have no regrets. Attached, you'll find some of those great memories here.
I know Mickey Blake's will continue to thrive. With Marco and Lou, who by the way have been great to work for, things will improve and things will get better. Mickey blakes isn't going anywhere. We're the number one shop in this state for a reason.
This is not goodbye. Just so long for now... and I'll see you down the road.
