Unless FF has changed (downward) dramatically in recent years.
FF has changed in one regard that I've noticed.
The amount, in terms of percentage, the price will drop.
In the olden days, before the web overhaul, when only 60-100 or so items were on FF, the price generally dropped about 25-30% from the start........and that was that.
Now, I've seen price drops of over 60%.
I'm not even really shopping on FF at all, but just looking at the Sobremesa Short Torp, it dropped to 37.09 for a tenski, cheaper than any auction price here that I've seen, by a fair margin, from a starting price of over $90.
They probably just increased the start prices on everything to make the deals seem better.
Still, as far as the Sobremesa Short Torps go, FF appears to be the best option, like it was for the Jaime Garcia Robusto back in the day. My guess is there's probably several other decent cigars that will show their best price here on FF, given that they now often have 700+ offerings.
