LCDH Trinidad La Trova, Fratello Cigars and Norfolk Promotions

Hi everyone! It’s been another interesting week here in Norfolk. 

On Monday, I was joined in the shop by Marcus! It was his first Monday and as many of my loyal readers know, we have lots of online orders on a Monday. Marcus took his stack and did a really good job picking all of the cigars and only made a few mistakes. He was still a little nervous to serve customers and so I handled them all in the morning. I was then on my lunch break when I heard the shop doorbell go, I was prepared to get the door but I heard Marcus get it and deal with the customer in a professional manner. Afterwards he was shaking from excitement! I was proud of him and I could tell he was proud of himself.

On Tuesday, I was back in the shop with Marcus, I spent some more time training him about cigars as well as the pipe tobacco. He got very comfortable with the pipe tobacco very quickly and he has started trying to learn about different flavours of pipe tobacco. Meanwhile, I served a gentleman who usually comes in for cigars, however this time he wanted to try a pipe. So I suggested a Cool & sweet pipe and some American Blends tobacco to try. The gentleman then went away and came back 5 minutes later to buy some cigars. Later on in the day I made a start on all of the shops newsletters. In the afternoon, we had a regular gentleman come in who always wants a rare box of Cuban cigars, this time it was the LCDH Trinidad La Trova. He bought two boxes as well as a couple of Arturo Fuente Don Carlos No. 3 for himself. He then paid in all cash, and as much as cash is king, we do then have to check every note is not counterfeit, which adds time to your experience but I am sure the cigars are worth it. Meanwhile my latest article for the C.Gars cigar library went online, it is about Fratello cigars which you can read by clicking here.

On Wednesday, I was back in the shop. I had a shop meeting with my manager to discuss what we could do with the shop. We will be getting some more furniture to help us display products in the shop. But we won’t be stopping there, you’ll have to come in store to see what new items we have! One display cabinet we will be getting will be promoting a beautiful ST Dupont Ligne 2 Le Mans lighter. It is so lovely, the pictures don’t do it justice! We will be selling that at the online exclusive price of £749 instead of £1550! A massive discount! We also launced our latest re-brand for Dominique London! You can read all about it here.

On Thursday, Lisa and I were completing the New World stock count. We got through it as quick as we could and thankfully (with a little help from Will) we completed it by 2.30! Afterwards I had a shop meeting with the rest of the retail team. We discussed November promotions as well as this year’s Christmas raffle! You’ll have to pop in store to see what we have selected to promote. I also took a couple of pictures to help out the other shops newsletters.

On Friday, I was back in the shop with Marcus, I asked him to check the pricing on some of the pipes and update our pipe displays. Meanwhile I was completing most of the shop newsletters. Some of the other shops really have some good deals going on at the moment! Make sure you give them a visit. In the afternoon, Marcus and I completed the Cuban stock count.

I hope you have enjoyed this weeks goings on and I hope to see you all in store very soon.

So long for now.

Oliver.
