That's a joke, a huge mark up from the retail price of $22 at the actual store.


Good job Atlantic cigar. :)
Well, it's still cheaper than actually flying to Vegas and buying one yourself. I don't like to pay over MSRP on anything, but this kind of seems like a legitimate reason to pay someone more. It's not like Atlantic is a buddy who's willing to grab a few while he's there, ya know?

So you're ok with paying double MSRP? Very well, they're in stock for you ;)

For something that's only available to order online from one place on earth, I don't have a major problem with an $18 fee. I don't happen to think any cigar is worth $40, so I won't be buying, but if something was only available at one place in the world, and that place was a place I'm never likely to get to in my life, and a service offered to get it for me for $18, I'd say that's not a bad deal.

I'm not saying if I were there it would be cool for me to charge a friend to grab one or anything, I'd be happy to do a favor to anyone here. But Atlantic isn't a friend, its a retailer providing a service.

So you're ok with retailers price gouging to these extremes?

I'm almost positive I paid 32 for an orange label lance at CF 2 years ago. Maybe I was wrong.

If it's 22 and they want 40? Just MAKE a friend in Vegas if you don't already have one :)

Because people are holding back the truth. If it was a brother selling these for the same price on the forum the insults would be endless.
There are some sales that seem to be similar at times on here but that's neither here nor there.

But it's a store. It's America bro.

D/FW. Mesquite to be specific.
Wouldn't surprise me. I've seen other stores do that.
I might, and probably are wrong, but a guy at a B&M I went to once was selling some liga for a fuck ton over msrp. It was a small shop, and didn't even have here's Esteli, or Nica Rustica. The owner said he bought them from a 3rd party and that was the only way he could legally sell aquire/sell them if he didn't receive them from DE. It was something of the sort, it was a while back
