For the same price I can get a classic maduro or a signature maduro and I actually prefer those anyway...

For a box of Franks out here from the Havana Manor in Longmont, it was $225 out the door for a box... or $169 for the smokes and $56 for the state of Colorado and the Longmont sales tax. That made it about 33% tax on those sticks...

that sucks, you should just order from out of state. even with FL taxes i got two boxes for 169 each no shipping and no tax

Damn... you lucky little...

I do order most of my stuff from out of state since a lot of it isn't even sold here (the stuff that I smoke most anyway), but I don't mind supporting the local shops as much as I can...

They drive the tax any higher and they will put all those shops out of business though...

the naturals yes, they often do have in stock. the maduros are currently out right now except for the classics and signatures which they limit purchases on.

this past weekend they sent out an email about a "brat pack" which was two WOAN and WOAM and two BTL's. it was a good price for what you get but i honestly don't really care for the naturals.

august last year i could buy four at a time from there.

For the same reason that Opus X is marketed. Methinks that Fuente knows how to keep up demand but also they know how to make a great cigar. You just have to find the B&M's that have done business with the family over the years and then you can get the "hard to find" cigars.
