A couple of things bother me about your list. First of all no sizes are mentioned. Secondly; what does "compared to" mean? Is the "compared to" price the price that they are actually selling the sticks at? Is this a one-time special or the price they normally sell these cigars at? And, if the "compared to" price is their actual selling price, they either may not be in business long or they are not as "reputable" as you may think. Take the 1st line. the Corona Especiales, for example. If $693 is the MSRP and assuming 40 percent is their markup, they are selling their sticks below the price they are paying at their distributor. The only other explanation is that these are phony MSRP's (not uncommon, I admit) which puts their reputability (?) in doubt. And, if that final line on the Behike is correct, they will have a lot of customers. Selling an $800 cigar for $32?? Never happen!!! Unsure


...or another option: YOU ARE WRONG!!!

Your ignorance (and stuborness) is showing in each and every post.

Example you are worried that I don't list the size of a cigar, well what do you think the Genious (5.5in) , Magicos (4.5in) and Secretos (4.3in) refers to after the Maduro 5's????

And just for fun because I like proving ignorgant people wrong...MSRP of a Behike (52) in Cuba is only $18.50. In almost EVERY OTHER PART OF THE WORLD the MSRP is between $30 - $45 depending on markup/taxes. A simple google search of Behike MSRP would bring up a million different sites verifying this including some reputable review sites (non-retailer).

I'm done after this because some people will even argue that the world is square and you cannot convince them that they are wrong!

And just a few links for you to check out (note the MSRP):

You will note that, when I replied to your answers, I did not insult you in any way. Apparently when you disagree with someone, you lash out in anger. Now see this little bit from the web.

"The Cohiba Behike cigar is one of the world’s most expensive cigars named after the tribal chief of the Taino Indians.
Developed with a secret blend of the best Cuban tobacco from the Pinar del Rio, Vuelto Abajo.
There were only 4000 Cohiba Behikes for sale at 375 Euro (525 USD) each of the original run, with reports of one upscale London establishment charging £1500 a smoke!
The ‘Behike brand’ cigars are now however to be released as a regular line although one suspects the blend will be somewhat different from the original run of only 4000.
Showcased in February at this year’s Habanos Festival in Havana, the three new Cohiba Behike sizes have been eagerly awaited ever since by cigar enthusiasts around the world. The Cuban cigar industry has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that this new line is special in every way. Not only are all the three sizes entirely new, but there is also a special classification of leaf within the blend of the filler, known as Medio Tiempo, which gives the new line a unique, distinctive taste. The natural scarcity of Medio Tiempo leaves dictates that annual production of these cigars will be restricted. The Behike BHKs are set to become Cohiba’s most exclusive line and to represent the highest grade of cigar in production in Cuba today."

BEFORE the Behike became a regular line, it sold for $800. Now you can get it for $45 a stick or perhaps lower. That still figures out to a little under $400 a box and too rich for my blood. And, as the article indicated, the regular line Behike may have changed from the original. Now you can go back to beating your wife. whip

Don't try to argue that you were refering to the original release sticks, when you CLEARLY state that buying a Behike for $32 will never happen!

And let's not forget your original claim:

Many Cubans are machine-made cigars. If you subtract them from the equation, you are left with cigars that average somewhere around $30.00 a stick (I'm just estimating.) That's not even counting the Cohiba Behike which retails for something like $800 a stick. Top Cuban cigars retail way above $30.


Try doing a little research into the following:
Bolivar
Cohiba
Cuaba
Flor De Cano
Fonseca
H. Upmann
Hoyo de Monterrey
Juan Lopez
La Gloria Cubana
Montecristo
Partagas
Por Larrañaga
Punch
Quai d'Orsay
Ramon Allones
Romeo y Julieta
San Cristobal
Saint Luis Rey
Sancho Panza
Trinidad
Vegas Robaina

...and tell me what the average MSRP per stick is (and if they are machine made).

Q,
Why do you continue to post and argue about something which you clearly know so little about? I don't get it. How many Cuban cigars have you purchased?
I would venture to bet that everyone who has disagreed with you has some personal experience. I don't mean to be rude or to insult, but for fck's sake, take a step back from the keyboard for a minute. I guess I don't mean not to, either.....this has been painful to read
