Default Re: Most Ridiculous Prices You Have Ever Seen!

The worst prices I ever saw was at Churchill Downs on Breeders Cup a few years back. Eveything was marked up 3x to 4x MSRP. They didn't have a stick there for under $15, most were over $25. A Partagas Black for $25 anyone?

I felt really bad when I asked my sister to bring back from London the Robusto collection. It cost her about $230- I now see it at under $80. I'll never ask her to get anything like that again! But, as she told me- those five cigars are my Christmas and B-D gifts for the next five years!

At the Las Vegas airport at the Cuban Honey's cigar stand outside of the C and D gates, they had the Padron 80th's for $100 each. This was probably 2 months after they were out.

I asked if that was the price for the box and the guy laughed. Supply and demand was the logic he gave me.

The sad thing is that there was one out of the box.

In Vegas I saw short stories for $36. Then kicker was at my hotel, Por Larranaga Cuban Grade for $15 a stick (it was right after everyone was closing them out for $39 a box)
