I always thought the cigar shop and lounge was built around Marios lockers

If we are not familiar with Spanish language and unsure of a cigar's name just ask the shop owner how to pronounce it, there is no shame in asking.
I can't stand when I see a guy that is acting like he knows it all and is saying ROWJOW for ROW-HO (spelled "Rojo" actually).
or
Ca-rEAL-oh for CA-rio (spelled Carillo)
or
An-edge-how for ah-ney-ho (spelled Anejo)
Why I am saying this is because this thread made me think of a few newb hobbyist yahoo's on youtube that review Cigars after having gotten into cigars LAST WEEK and act like they know it all while saying just about every single name incorrectly.
We are all living and learning as we go, and we will all make mistakes along the way, but a little humility to ask a question when we are unsure can sure go a long way.
I have been smoking cigars since around 1996 and I still a still feel like a newb in many ways.

My accent doesn't allow me to pronounce words from the English language correctly ..... how the hell am I supposed to pronounce Spanglish words correctly.
Then again
I do get a chuckle out of you guys from the colonies trying to pronounce Scottish place names and malt whisky names ..... so I guess we're even.

I am not talking about accents, I meant some people in this world try to act like a know it all. We have all met them.
Speaking of accents... How does someone Scottish pronounce ISLAY? (nowadays).
Here in Scottish Gaelic it sounds like he is saying IOWA like the state in the USA.

For a very long time, I always said "five Vegas" Because its the number, not the word cinco written out. Thinking about it now, I should have been more intuitive.

Eh,
I always say five vegas as well. B&M owners and old timers are always correcting me though. It is hard to know every brand out there.
I'd be more concerned about knowing what types of tobaccos are being used in the industry like ligero (l'hair-O) or Connecticut broadleaf.
