I need to say another thing though, there are businesses that are well established that are insulted by people
who try to play the price match game with them, and they have a right to be. At JR they likely think, "hey,
this is not Atlantic Cigar...you want their price, go buy with them." Then mutter a name at you after you hang up.

Business is business, you don't get to be a success by cutting people breaks. Price match is a strategy
employed by people with a goal, to steal business from other businesses. JR does not need to steal business
from anyone, they are the largest cigar retailer on earth. Your money really DOESN'T mean anything to them.

I asked them one day, before the cutter man came into the troops support thread and ended our cutter problem,
"Hey, I am sending a ton of your cigars to the troops, and you are KILLING ME on cutters...not the price, but
the shipping. They were charging per item at that time, and a .01 cent cutter cost $1.26 after shipping. I said
I will buy X cutters if you will JUST CUT ME A BREAK, it's for the troops." Sorry Sir, no can do.
