Think you missed the intent of my post Eric...I would LOVE to try this stick, as the Ave Maria was excellent. And while yes, AJ does have some excellent sticks out there at a decent price. However, with changing the wrapper and driving the price up $ 10 a stick..I will respectively choose not to purchase this stick. And many fellow BOTLs will join in this "I refuse to pay these crazy prices". Just pointing out that this seems to be a growing trend in the industry. Again, it's all personal preference and goes back to just as you stated...Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. The thing is that many will miss out on this AJ stick due to this trendy price raising.
