That is insane. My B&M charges MSRP. They don't sell singles (or boxes), but sells then in 4-packs (four different sizes, including a shark) for $38.00

My local Tinderbox (Durham, NC) has told me (depending on who you talk to):
1. they have 3-4 boxes (48, 49, 77, ?) but they are in the "office" and not out for sale yet. When they do, it will be 1 box at a time.
2. They don't have any yet (easier to say)

They told me they do not know when they will put them out. They also said, they will not take my name/number and alert me when they go on sale. So, they are suggesting I just stop back every couple says for the next month????

WTF? You know, I do like Anejos, but I hate playing F'n games. I have about 30 random Anejos left from last year, so I guess I am passing on them this year. Besides, for then price, I'd rather have a MC#2 or 2 PSD4s.

F the B&Ms that play games with their customers.

I hear ya bro......I really do. It's not really the B&M's fault that AF drop ships these on a limited basis every year. If, and I say IF AF didn't do that, there wouldn't be this game.

On the other hand, if AF didn't do that, the Anejo wouldn't be so popular.

Everybody's stuck, and frankly, it's magic in marketing by AF if you asked me. Demand is what they have created. And demand is what happens every single year.

My local Tinderbox was doing something similar 2 years ago . I went one day and was told they'll be out tomorrow , when I got there at opening it was a different clerk and he told me they sold out yesterday . WTF ! This Tinderbox closed a year later , oh shucks !

Must be a Tinder Box thing. The one down the road from me also keeps them stashed away and only sells them to people they are familiar with and only reveal they are there only if you ask. Last year I was able to score 2 55s. I decided I am not playing the game this year as jumping through hoops to get them gets tiresome after awhile. Plus the only vitolas I have interest in are the Sharks and 55s as I am down to one each of these. If I happen to be in the right place at the right time great, but I won't be losing sleep this year if I don't.
