Seems like Pete did a good job with getting the Face out this year

In a lot of cases, people price below retail because that's what it takes to sell something. I don't know about you, but it's very rare for me to pay retail on any cigars. I can buy a lot of cigars for 20-30% below retail on virtually any regular production cigar out there. On the other hand, items of limited quantities will have higher demand, thus the price goes up.

I'm not going to play this game with all of these limited edition cigars. I'm not convinced these cigars are necessarily any better than any regular production cigars and refuse to participate in the whole waiting list or 1 cigar per person type of limit. Thus, whether it's Pete Johnson or anyone else, they can use their marketing to sucker in a lot of other people just because they make something of limited quantities with a cool looking box.

Agreed, but in my case it's because I'd rather not find a cigar I love, then not be able to get my hands on any more.
Having said that, it does seem like PJ did a good job of addressing issues from the last two years. The Faces seem to be much more readily available than the previous sticks.
