Watch what happens to the price, even after the whole demand thing calms down.
Bottom line is tobacco is an easy source of revenue for our government.
If it comes in legally, it is taxed to death and hence the price difference in general.
Correct.

It would not surprise me to see a 100% increase in price that is related to taxes and overhead when CC are legalized in the US.

From what I understand, people who currently obtain these cigars from overseas are often dealing with low overhead retailers ... look at prices in a cigar shop in Paris and you'll see how much upside there is for CC prices in the future when they are legal in the US. You won't be seeing 6 dollar PSD4s in JRs when CC are legalized, I can guarantee you that.
