What is the MSRP for these? I know Rookie said he bought some. Local shop got in whole shipment of anejos and several types of maddy hemingways, plus a box of between the lines. However $20 for a BTL seems a little high, or maybe I am just el cheapo. Just wondering. Hope everyone had a happy holiday.

Hemingway 'Between The Lines' is one of the rarest (next to the 'In Between The Lines') that the Fuentes produce.

Extremely limited in production, very few are made. They are made by only the most skilled rollers, and are put away in their aging rooms untill they have enough to box up and introduce to the public.

This is usually is done only around Thanksgiving and Christmas, and doesn't happen every year.

The MSRP on these are $13, but due to the rarity and small numbers, they sell for is what the market will bear. During lean times, they have been known to sell for up to $50 a stick.

Here is the page that has the MSRP for Fuente cigars ... Fuente MSRP

In other words ... you are very lucky to even find one!

I paid $20 each...they are very hard to find and like Kim said, they come out around Xmas....I wouldn't pay more than $20 though...$50 is nuts!..They are excellent cigars and many people have never even seen one before...The shop that I went to (thanks Todog!) has four left as of yesterday morning...I'm pretty sure they sold out by the end of the day though...I now want the empty box (very sharp!) and will be calling them today to see if they still have it (for around $5-$10)...Not bad!

Forgot to mention...The tobacconist told me around 200 boxes are sent out per year worldwide and she hasn't received a box for about three years
