BTL over priced? $650 box

[Mitch]

My local B&M got part of their Fuente order in and they have a box of BTL they want $650 for and a box of Anejo Sharks for $450. I'm guessing prices have gone up this year and Florida taxes suck, but this seems way over the top to me. Anybody else have a price to compair on these in your area? I'm thinking hard about the sharks, but was expecting under 20 per stick.

I was able to pick up some sharks at Holts on Friday, they only allowed 3 per customer, but they were only about $12 or $13 per stick, if that...

They had some BTL there too - <$14.

I bought a box of '05 BTL at about $16.50 a stick. Seems a bit overpriced.

Seems overpriced. I saw BTLs from 14-16 and sharks from 9.50-13. So ya a bit pricey.

Its overpriced, but then again Ive seen people buy a box of these for close to $900 so I guess you charge what you know you can get.

I have never had a shark or a BTL but those seem like collectors prices. I, personally, am more of a smoker than a collector. Now Opus, that is a different story.

Its the time of the year to over-leveraging yourself can be easy. Buy a few from tampa, buy a few from friends, and enjoy the limited amounts you have.

I got a call from a cat at Savor Cigars last week and he was saying that prices were going up there and wanted be to but before they did. I guess he was right. Sheeesh.

I was talking to my B&M today about the opus and he said they sell all their cigars including the hot stuff for MSRP and that they are required to by Fuente. I take it this is not the case everywhere?

You would be very correct.
