Was just in Northern Indiana (Mishawaka) at a TinderBox, walked in looked at their selection, wondered around. Then asked if they had any Sharks, the one employee looked over to the other they kind of shared this odd look and said, "well we had a box but we sold it already" then they just kind of smiled at each other. I knew they were lying to me, it really pi$$ed me off. Don't know why you would hold back stock from paying customers

The Union Cigar Company in Gettysburg apparently only got one box in. They had them when I stopped by, but the employee said the owner was keeping them for a few customers. I would have never even known they had them if the employee didn't say so. I appreciated his candidness, and told him so. I really don't mind the owner holding them for a few loyal customers. I think it's an OK thing to do, and really can't fault him for it.

I can fault him for the $19 Power Rangers though.

They got in misc boxes of Opus and Anejo's and have been putting a two per customer limit on each vitola to make sure more people get a chance to buy some.

And all of them are maybe 10% over retail and that's it. Not too bad.

Probably put 'em aside for their regulars, David....lots of B&Ms take care of their regulars on this kind of stuff.

Yeah I can understand that...But it's like they were passing judgment and decided that I wasn't good enough to buy them. I guess that is what really pi$$ed me off

Found 'em! They were in some gift sets of 4, which I did not mind one bit.

So, what's a good price from #49s & #50s???

Best price I've seen for either is $19, and that place was sold out.

I have read the talk here of $35 being outrageous. So, what should be a good price?

Taken from vitolas.net:

1. No.49 (7 5/8" x 49) ....................... MSRP = $9.50 x 25 per box = $237.50
2. No.48 (7" x 48) ............................. MSRP = $8.75 x 25 per box = $218.75
3. No.55 (6" x 55) ............................. MSRP = $9.75 x 25 per box = $243.75
4. No.77 aka "Shark" (5 5/8" x 54) .... MSRP = $9.25 x 20 per box = $185.00
5. No.46 (5 5/8" x 46) ....................... MSRP = $7.25 x 25 per box = $181.25
6. No.50 (5 ¼" x 50) ......................... MSRP = $8.00 x 25 per box = $200.00

But remember that doesn't include sales tax or state tobacco tax.

According to the site, those were MSRP as of January of 2007. Prices may have gone up.

OK, now we have the MSRP. What are prices out in the real world? What should I expect for a good price. I was doing some more looking and I found numerous sticks over $25 each.

Some places will charge MSRP, while other place charge way more. Unfortunately being limited to a couple of shipments each year, places that sell at MSRP tend to sell out quickly. I personally would never pay $25 for an anejo. If you are buying in WI, then it prices should range from around $9ish up to $13ish, plus sales tax.

You can call or email Tampa Sweethearts and ask them to email you their rare singles list. They usually have several sizes of anejo (and maduro hemmingway, tubed opus, etc) at MSRP, but you have to make a qualifying purchase of $25 from their boxes and bundles, and there is a limit of two of each size.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated.

I have a couple that have been gifted to me, I have yet to smoke them. I was waiting for an appropriate special occasion.

I payed $13.25 each for the 5 Sharks I bought in NJ . I can get them cheaper at Holt's but have to pay parking and a train ride so it pretty much evens out , also Holt's usually has a limit of 2 but this year it was 3 when I was there so it would take repeated trips to aquire any quantity of Anejos . My local B & M lets you buy all you want on everything . Never a limit and always honest about what is in stock .

The place that hooked me up earlier in the day let me buy some more as they were closing tonight. Very nice. 8 Opus X and 10 Anejo's, along with 2 "Between the Lines." I should be done shopping for a while . . .







Who am I kidding?

Same place I was able to grab Anejos from today had Power Rangers for $10.50 a stick which is still not msrp but at least they aren't bending people over the counter. Geeze, that's bad. Glad I have a handful along with a handful of Super Belis otherwise I would have spent a ton of money today. They had a bunch of sizes of Opus and also had what looked like Double Coronas in coffins for $25 a pop. They also had the 2008 Holiday Samplers too. If it weren't for Christmas, today could have been very ugly.

A B&M near me has a box of DCs, no coffins. Likely the "A" (9 ¼" x 47) which comes in an individual coffin, and has an MSRP of $25.
