I had tried a fiver of La Palina Black Label from CigarPage.com, liked them, decided to buy a box. Checking prices there for a box of 20, you can buy the box for $136, or just choose to buy "20 cigars" for $61. I've run into similar before when buying LFD Double Ligero Chisel Maduro on CigarPlace.biz (no box) but it's much less of a price difference (when I asked them they said they send the boxes back to LFD for a discount).
So what's going on at CigarPage to have such a drastic price difference? I can understand the sending the box back for a discount, assuming that's true. Are the cigars the same quality or similar enough not to matter? I don't need the boxes so that's not an issue but thought I'd ask the experienced folks here for explanation/advice.
