Enjoy your cigars and Makers. Sounds like a fun evening. I was just back home and shared a similar evening with my family. I wouldn't despair if your dad doesn't want to imbibe. My dad is all too accommodating. I sort of wish he'd ease up :) Have fun!
You're a business man of sorts, at least as far as I'm concerned from my career here. Is there some sort of North Carolinian law preventing the sale of cigars and liquor and/or liquor and beer at the same location? The situation at OBX is ripe for someone to come in here and set up a one-stop-shop for all your vices, legislation notwithstanding.
Yep, that's where I scored the Maker's. And that explains why it felt like a prison. Businesses in ABC states should be required to remove the "spirits" portion of the "wine, beer, and spirits" claims in their taglines. Thanks!
