I dunno if you got screwed but I'd say you stimulated the economy a little. You're a great American.

James I don't know youe States Tobacco tax system but you got screwed.MSRP is about $12.50

I recently paid $13 for a $9.25 sorcerer,I think they had the S-B for $15 but we have about a 65% tax.I have however paid $18.75 for a spellbound at another local shop that dosen't post the prices on high end stuff because I wanted one then and didn't have one with me.

Needless to say I won't be buying any high end cigars from the guy that dosen't post his high end prices any time soon.

JC,
I was in a store the other night and saw the Spellbounds for I think around $12-$13. See my thread "Arturo Fuente cigars". Didn't think that was bad considering Jersey's taxes.

Yes, you did, but it is all perception, as you are aiding the economy and stuffing that tobacco retailer's pocket!

Agree with Mags, as you can buy ISOMs for that price!

Did a quick google and saw prices $15-$19. I guess $20 ain't too bad.

JamesConnors, I think I've paid in Cali between 14.95 and 19.95 before (like Lowman said)...

Sammydaddy, attitude is everything. Tomorrow's the big day of love, maybe you'll get lucky if you play your cards right, lol!

Oh, you meant cigars? Come out west and you'll get a royal screwing.

I think if you buy it at a cigar store, expect to get "screwed" a little or a lot.

No one can really beat online prices, but the shops always win in convenience.
