They do come from wholesalers though with wholesale pricing, which is generally more than half off retail. Stores have to pay for taxes when they buy a box of cigars based on wholesale price, which varies state to state, but can be pretty damn high sometimes. A lot of times wholesalers do write their pricing on the cellophane wrapped box with sharpie, and if theres a slight knick in that wrap it could end up bleeding through.
