They are here for the event and decide to pick up a box due to the deal. Guys go around and talk with each other about the sticks they have that I might want more than Ligas. A guy had 3 God of Fires which are hard to come by here and I can get UF- 13's anytime which he would rather have vs. The God of Fire hence we made a trade.

The boxes are cheaper but you have to buy 20 total sticks to get the A coffins so the host is losing no money at all as the Unicos are provided by Drew Estate then the B&Ms make a ton of cash on the policy you have to reach 20 for the As so that's selling 8 No9s or T52s that they would not have otherwise. 8 sticks times 60 people is 480 cigars that normally would not have been sold.

Guys also have been swapping things like HTF Tats for HTF Viaje, the Daisy Cutter I believe. So maybe other guys around the country don't do it but we do in the Twin Cities events and as well as at B&Ms on any given day.

I've been to two Liga Privada events, the last with Jonathan Drew in May and never seen a Dirty Rat or a FFP.
