CVS Closeout

[philobeddoe]

This may be old news to some, but I was just at my local CVS and they are closing out all of their pipes, pipe tobacco and cigars at 50% off. The clerk told me it would all be gone by October 1st.

So much for "drug-store" tobaccos and pipes at CVS, eh? A sad sign of the times!

 

[metarzan]

Hmmm... Anything worth loading up on? Any good cigars? Don't remember seeing a humidor. :?

 

[philobeddoe]

They had a couple of Grabows, a couple of MM cobs, lots of Borkum Riff and Captain Black and lots of smaller cigars and cheap regular sized cigars.

Had to come ::
Why doe this Tinypic thing keep showing up?

I have already got 7 mm Washington cobs for less than 25 bucks and am about to hit up the last three cvs in my area and get all there cobs and an extra dr grabow

Might want to try and be patient. When Thrifty's closed all their alcohol and tobacco went on sale for 50%. Each week they dropped about 10%. The last week on a whim I bought some cobs and Grabows and CB pouches for pennies on the dollar. That was almost 10 years ago, the beginning of the end for me.

Anybody know the right pronunciation of Grabow? Always bugs me. Gray Bow or Grab ow?

 

[eightywon]

Gray bow (and arrow). Being a solo smoker I too am unsure of some of the pronunciations.

I'm still learning how to say, "Gawith, Hoggarth" but right or wrong, I think most of us say it, "Gray Bow".

 

[eightywon]

Listening to the PM radio shows opened my ears a little. I think gaw with and hoe garth. There should be a thread for this.

I have never in my life seen any pipes in a CVS, I must now go to one and discover if any of the local ones here have any left.
Also, I've only called it and heard it called 'Gray Bow'

 

[cortezattic]

Ya, trailboss! They want to be on the right side of public opinion, but not so committed that they're willing to take a loss.

 

[petersonson]

CVS is a drug store chain in America. They decided to completely take all tobacco products of their shelves for "the health of Americans". I don't think that is an actual quote but it looked good in quotations.

 

[fnord]

CVS is a fairly substantial drugstore chain in the U.S., Smorg.
They've recently decided to pull the plug on all tobacco sales.

I wonder if Walgreens will follow suit. My Walgreens are the only ones that sell pipes. The CVS here only carry a couple of tobacco blends.

 

[papipeguy]

Sutliff has already started seeding the B&M's with the CVS house blends.

 

[mso489]

Drugstores in my area purged pipes and pipe tobacco long ago.
