You always read about post cigar boom brands going for $100-$200 less than what they sold for in the early, mid-90s. Most of these can now be had for $30-45 a box and are considered to be dog rockets by many of the esteemed contributors here. Since I only occassionally purchased an overpriced cigar at a bar during the early 90s, my question is what were the retail prices of primos during this period? Did they scale accordingly? In other words, did a box that now sells for ~$100 go for over $500 during the boom? Or, because everybody was buying everything did the good and the bad sell similarly and the price of the primos really hasn't fallen that much in the past 5-10 yrs? If the former is true, how did y'all afford smoking the good stuff?
