El Septimo cigars, ST Dupont Cohiba Behike Lighter, Dominique London News, Yamazaki 100th Anniversary Offer!

Hello everyone! It has been a rather interesting week in Norfolk to say the least! We had a technical issue with our till system, which affected us all week! But that doesn’t affect our level of service and we always find a way to serve our brilliant customers!

On Monday, I was in the shop with Will! Josh was treating himself to a week off and so I was joined by Will – However it was Lisa and I picking the cigar orders. Together we got through them incredibly fast (with the help of the rest of the team). Afterwards, I spent some time stocking up the Cuban humidor and helping Lisa order her Cuban Stock.

Tuesday was my promotional day. I sat in the shop next to Will – He is still in training when it comes to shop tasks and so I was there to guide him, but not get too involved. Firstly, I concentrated on starting all of the shop’s October newsletters. All of the stores have improved massively on their content recently, I have to say i’m very impressed. Afterwards, I wrote an article for the C.Gars cigar library all about El Septimo cigars, which you can read here. I spent some time taking the pictures too. Meanwhile, I also wrote a news article about the absolutely stunning ST Dupont Lighter – Le Grand – Cohiba Behike 15th Anniversary. It is a beautiful lighter, but due to how shiny it is, it was difficult to get a good picture of it – But I got there in the end – What do you think? 

Meanwhile, I was helping Will perfect his tasks. I taught him how to stock up and write the tags for our pipes! He seemed to enjoy it and did a very good job. Later on, I was given some CV’s to look through for our next retail employee! Porscha has recently accepted a new role in our office, listing new products as well as adding new stock onto our till system. I wish her the best of luck, but I am sad to see her leave our department. But we move on and we welcome a new face into our close knitted team. I have organised some interviews for next week and I look forward to meeting them all.

On Thursday, I was back in the shop. Will had his first solo day in the shop on Wednesday and left me a lovely note to ask if he had done a good job. I can say with confidence… He did. Of course there were little bits he missed, but overall he did an excellent job. Because he did such an excellent job, it made my job easier. I served a lovely semi-regular customer – he has fairly recently changed from Cuban cigars to New World and is enjoying the experience. As always he likes to try something new, so I suggested the Foundation Charter Oak Shade Petit Corona. He then wanted one more, so as always I suggested the Alec Bradley Orchant Seleccion Skinny. I can’t wait to see him again to see if he enjoyed them. 

On Friday, I was in the shop again. Firstly I had a meeting with our HR manager to discuss the upcoming interviews, she explained the kind of things we should be looking for from a candidate. It was very interesting to hear. Afterwards, I came back and was greeted by an email from our content manager with a brilliant piece of news! Dominique London And Tang Tobacco To Open A Flagship La Casa Del Habano On Pall Mall! There has been a full press release which you can read here! It certainly is an exciting time for this company and one to be proud of. I uploaded that onto the C.Gars cigar library as quickly as I could for everyone to read. I served a lovely couple who were on holiday. They had mentioned how they had been to our stores in Chester and Leeds and enjoyed them both – I like to call visiting our other stores the “Tour de Dominique London” as it would be great to visit each store and see each one’s uniqueness. The gentleman said his favourite cigar was a Perdomo Lot 23, which unfortunately, we cannot get in the UK, however he did treat himself to the 10th Anniversary Epicure as well as the CLE Asylum 13 Ogre Toro Gordo, the Gurkha Nicaraguan Toro Blue Sampler Pack. The gentleman’s wife then pointed out the Casa Turrent 1880 Series Double Robusto Claro and said he should try that, and so he did. 

On Saturday, I was joined by Will and Porscha! We got through the online order pickings incredibly fast and then got on with our own individual tasks. Porscha was packing online orders, whilst Will started stocking up both humidors. I then taught Will how to do price tags for the cigars. Afterwards we created a new display to show an incredible offer we have online and in store – The Yamazaki 12 Year Old 100th Anniversary has been reduced from £199 to £99! This is an incredible reduction of £100 but it’s only whilst stocks last so get yours now!

I hope you enjoyed this week’s goings on and I hope to see you all in Norfolk soon.

So long for now.

Oliver.
