One of these days San Lotanos will be priced out of the range of the average cigar smoker like Cubans and Davidoffs. [-x

The mothership is the CI website as opposed to this auction site, CBid.

CBid was nailed for selling fake Opus maduro recently, which is, oddly, right around the time Fuente pulled all of their products from the site. Coincidence?

.....this idiot says it was fake. Ever think of maybe aging a stick??? The second Opus X Natural Double Corona (7.62"x49) I decellophaned and let age for 6 months tasted much better then the one I burned directly out of the cello.

Part of the issue is Carlito said it was an event only size never produced in quantity (no maduro Opus are) and these just appeared at a few sites not just here. I don't have a dog in the fight as I won't buy any but there hasn't been a good explination and I'm not reading 16 links.

Haven't seen any Reconquistas lately on CBID, tho other Ava Marias are on regularly.

.....the 7"x48 Barbarosa is an excellent Habano smoke after a few months of naked aging. I have pinched 3 boxes over the past few months for $64, $58, and $52. Amazing.

Freakin noob!
There are already many great CC's that can be had for the same price or less than the price of a San Lotanos.

Speaking of San Lotanos I ventured over to the mothership to pick up one of my favorite samplers. AJs kitchen sink sampler, but just like here they're no longer sold in that sampler either. Kitchen sink II it's called now, all the **** Lotanos are gone and in their place it's now chock full of Gurkhas. WTF? So very fn sad, so I said f em and I'm gonna get a box of RASS instead.

How they're smoking now I wish they were being had for $6. With rest I think some of that sting at the end will settle down and make it a deserving $7-8 that I was paying. In B&M dollars I would put em (without coffin) at $11 and assume they'd keep selling. Add a buck for the coffin

I always thought it was funny that this place sold ten of thousands of DC anniversarios and Opus Maduros like it was going out of style. Members here aren't the brightest.

This forum is the the minor league of online forums. LMAO!!!!

You're comparing apples to oranges. 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. And, when you factor in the fact that most Cubans are small, by American standards, the prices are even more outrageous. Going back to cigars that are allowed to be sold in the United States, the only cigars that come to mind (I'm sure there are others) are Fuente and Padron that would make your allegation correct. Most cigar smokers in this country cannot afford these cigars on a regular basis and, if I were to make a guess, I would say that the average price paid by a cigar smoker in this country is $5.00 a stick or less. 👻
