Same. Plus, these come in 4 count tins. I highly doubt any company is taking them out of said tins to put them in 10 packs.

While it is possible that the poster made an error in the writing of his post, many manufacturers, Drew Estate included, will package certain cigars into cello mazos, typically 20 or 25 cigars, although I have seen 5s, 10s and even a 6. This can be for the big operations like CI, Famous, JR, etc to further break down into singles, 5'ers, 10's whatever, or, for internal use, events, etc. This allows them to provide a larger quantity of cigars at a lower per unit cost since the packaging isn't included. This doesn't happen with all cigars, there's no set rule for which ones get the mazo treatment.

All that being said, I can't say if the PF's were or were not packaged this way, but I can tell you that some of the stuff manufacturers package into mazos might surprise you.

Oh, and breaking down 4-tins into 5 or 10-packs, actually, I've seen big e-tailers do sillier things.

Probably best to let the poster clarify rather than running amok substituting your assertions for facts.

That link shows them for $60. Perhaps http://www.cigarsinternational.com/SL283C will work.

Odd, it was $49.99 when I posted the link. Your link works too, though. Thanks!

Once you click the link I posted it will show up as $49.99 when clicking your link but it shows $60 for those who haven't clicked the link from the actual email. Works the same as the free shipping link.

And the alternative is that I mistook some other brand to read "Liga Privada Papas Fritas, from Drew Estates"? I do need reading glasses, but that would be a hell of a mistake.

I doubt they were in tins to begin with. DE can save the money on packaging.

They're not in tins at the factory, they're stored wheels.
All they did was ship the wheels to ci, and they in turn
are selling them in lots of 10. Even at that price i'm not gonna jump.
Hard to pay that much for mixed filler.

Just try them. Not that it justifies the price all together, but they are darn good.

I'm betting in a few months the price MAY go down a bit more, even for an LP blend.
