I told him I had heard these were hard to find, since the Cigar Haven didn't have them when I asked a couple weeks back. He said they are a big supplier of them and they always keep them in stock.
Anyway, onto the question at hand. A single stick was $22....that didn't sound unreasonable, but 3 sticks was $92.71!!!! Now does that sound right to anyone else?
I also asked to look at his digital hygrometers and he had one and it was a small one for $35!!
I then looked at humidifiers, the cheapest one was a 50ct desktop for $110.
Does this place sound too high or what? Or am I just that much of a noob?

The Opus X price was a bit too high. I think when I went to Pipes by George to buy my first I believe I only paid 14 or 15 for it plus tax, and he had those tins for like 50 or 60.
Many places will try to jack up the price of "super limited" cigars that aren't very limited. *cough cigar.com cough*
The hygrometer price is about right depending on what it was. We sell our Xikar hygrometers for 32.95. If it was one of the Madelaine ones then they were over charging by 15 bucks, when we had them in stock they were goin for 20.95.
Humidors thats about right, its hard to find a "cheap" humidor offline, when you buy from a B&M you get the added security that it wont be damaged when it gets to you, and the seal is just right, you can't do that online.
