^ agreed. I applaud them for selling the sticks at retail, but an order of 2 cigars for $6 shipping is too much to bite. If someone wanted something else from the site, and added the 2 FFPs, then that would be great.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective. From my point of view $5.95 for shipping is not too much on this, especially considering that these are hard to get ahold of. Check out this recent thread that drew 56 replies and over 3,000 views from someone doing a group buy and offering a price of $45 shipped for 2. http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php/62124-Undercrown-Flying-Pig. Brothers were falling all over themselves to get what they could @ 2 for $45 shipped

There was also a "deal" posted on the 18th from Best cigar prices. http://www.bestcigarprices.com/cigar-directory/liga-privada/liga-privada-unico-feral-flying-pig-cigar/472-29288.htm. $35.95 for 2 plus $5.95 for shipping for a total of $41.90.

By my math 2 cigars at $14.95 + $5.95 shipping = $35.85. That seems like a much better deal than having them sent from the Netherlands, waiting 2 weeks and paying $45 ($9.15 more) or buying them from Best cigar prices at $41.90 ($6.05 more)

I took advantage of the deal at Neptune. I'll have my 2 by Friday at a much better price.

I hear you, I was just talking for me personally since I already HAVE some FFPs. If I hadn't tried them yet and couldn't find them, then just under $18/stick is really not bad and I might go for it. Heck, depending upon which state you live in, they might retail for over $18 anyway ... they probably do for you in MN, frickin' tax-a-holics that they are, lol (I'm a MN native).

You are kind of comparing apples to oranges in this situation because the cigars at bestcigarprices.com is for the FFP and the thread you referenced about the 2 for $45 shipped from the Netherlands is the Undercrown Flying Pig two completely different cigars, FFP is regular but limited production the UCFP is only like 200 boxes produced only for the Netherlands!

Yeah...my bad on the comparison. Someone already pointed that out to me.

Apples and oranges for sure.
