You can still probably pick up a box of delicious Mayorga robustos right here for less than the Oliva O or Ashton VSG 5-packs will auction for. There are great buys available here, and all over the web. There are some outstanding closeouts on Carlos Torano's Grand Nica, Kiki Berger's, La Estrella Cubana, Perdomo's private labels, etc. In over thirty-five years of serious cigar smoking, I've never seen better values in the marketplace. Yes, there are some expensive cigars out there, but plenty of great ones at very reasonable prices too.
