Maybe I'm spoiled living close to Ybor City. I can get locally rolled every day cigars at 3-5 dollars per stick which IMHO is a true cost savings and they taste great. Now the taste/flavor of the Surrogates is a whole different subject. It seems like most here enjoy the Surrogates but I don't see much of a cost savings as advertised. My .2.

Compare them to prices on Tatuaje & Viajes then you will see the savings. The Skull Breaker and Bone Crusher really are IMHO vaguely similar to the Tatuaje T110 & Viaje Skull 'N Bones line when compared to strength and flavors. Price a box of Tatuaje T110 or Viaje Skull 'N Bones (if you can find them) and tell me if you still feel the same way.

I was only looking at the single cigar prices. You're right about the box price. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Works for single sticks as well...price the Tatuaje T110 & Viaje Skull 'N Bones singles versus the Surrogates..we're talking a $ 5-7 per stick differential.
