Hello everybody! This week has been getting hotter by the day and has accumulated to a sunny Friday! This month we have gained another new cigar brand!
As always we start on the Monday, We had a huge mountain of online orders to pick. Lisa was off which meant it was down to Scarlett and I to complete them. This was Scarlett’s first time focusing on picking cigars all day and she blew me away! She did a fantastic job, she was fast and rarely had to ask for help. It was brilliant! In the afternoon, I spent some time sorting out the out of stock cigars and then went to work re-filling the cigars.
On Tuesday, I was working with Scarlett again picking all of the cigars. We were a fantastic team again and got through the orders very quickly. Afterwards, I created a new Cuban cigar order in the hope of getting some different Cuban cigars in our delivery. Afterwards, I spent some more time finalising my cigar subscriptions for August. I’m lucky enough to have a fantastic team here who helps by putting all the cigars together in the box, which is one stress off my shoulders. But creating the subscription in general is tough.
On Wednesday, I was lucky enough to have a day off. I came back on Thursday, refreshed and ready to go. The first thing I noticed was new cigars! We finally received stock of the Trident Military cigars. Trident Military Cigars was founded in 2019 by two veterans who shared a passion for cigars, history and the Armed Forces. They aimed the brand for those who support, serve or have served in the military as well as cigar enthusiasts. They also like to give back to the military and so they donate £1 of every cigar sold to charities who support veterans and their families – To further strengthen this commitment, C.Gars Ltd will be matching every donation made – doubling the impact of every cigar & tin sold across our site. How amazing is that! Thursday was also stock count day for Lisa and I. We were really up against it as we usually get a head start the day before but due to me being off (Sorry Lisa), we had to do it all in one day after the morning online order picking! We started at around 9.45am and somehow finished at 2pm! We were both amazed with ourselves. So this gave me a chance to complete the cigar out of stock lists as well as see what discontinued stock was finally sold out.
On Friday, I got to meet Denisa and Helena who work in our London Office Warehouse. I often email Helena, asking about stock levels that they have in London. They were both so friendly and fascinated to see our warehouse and how we operate, I saw them take some pictures and said they may do the same in their warehouse. In between talking to Helena and Denisa, I picked a lot of online orders. The Trident cigars are selling well and just as I am writing this, one of the best offers you will see for a while became available FLASH SALE – 5 FOR 60 – Rocky Patel Orchant Seleccion Rothschild Sampler – 5 Cigars – Get it whilst you can!
I hope you have enjoyed this weeks blog.
So long for now.
Oliver.
