Hello Everyone! I hope you had a fantastic bank holiday weekend! 

My week started on Tuesday. The team on the bank holiday did a great job picking as many orders as they could, but we had a lot left to do. It is almost impossible to complete a bank holidays orders in one day and so on the Tuesday as a team we fly through them to complete them. I noticed a lot of people took advantage of our great Zino offers, we handed out many free Zino cutters and ashtrays – This is why you need to sign up to our newsletters to see what incredible offers we have. I picked and packed a lot of orders and as a team we all did fantastic. I even found time to do a Cuban cigar order, I have noticed a lot of people are opting for full boxes of Cubans recently, I do think this is down to the well known Cuban cigar shortage. Montecristo No. 5 has been particularly popular among our customers. 

Wednesday was quite relaxing compared to Tuesday. I picked and packed again to help get the parcels on their way to the intended destination and then I ordered New world stock. Afterwards, both Lisa and I re-arranged our New World Humidor to make picking even easier. Since closing the shop we have been able to get more stock but that makes picking even more difficult, due to the amount of boxes we have and so we have tried our best to fill up the old shop shelves. We also received the new look J. Cortes High Class Dominican Cigar – White, these incredibly popular cigars used to come in boxes of 10 but now they have been changed to packs of 2 and I love them. They have been selling like hot cakes too so get yours now. 

Thursday was stock count day. As is tradition both Lisa and I worked our way through both humidors and completed it incredibly fast! Which is great because I have been given a new task. I need to look through all of our offers and work out if the sale is still needed or if some need to be extended. This is another great task for me as I continue to learn the admin side of the business. 

On Friday, myself and the team all got together, picked and packed the orders. It is always fantastic to see how great we all flow together. 

A bit of an uneventful week this week but next week will be incredibly exciting with the AITS trade show this weekend, I look forward to see what goodies we will be receiving and what the latest release from all of our wonderful brands.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks goings on.

So long for now.

Oliver
