That's a joke, a huge mark up from the retail price of $22 at the actual store.
Good job Atlantic cigar.
Good job Atlantic cigar.
That's a pretty steep markup from what they sell for in Vegas... And going to Vegas is half the fun! I have yet to burn one of the CF sticks I bought there back in March, but Lancero February is coming...
I wonder if someone went there and bought a box to resell at the store?

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

So you're ok with paying double MSRP? Very well, they're in stock for you
Wouldn't surprise me. I've seen other stores do that.

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

I care a little broWhy do you care bro?
rather spend $40 on a casa fuente lance than some of the crap people pay 12-17 for.

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.

That store is un-American bro.
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

I honestly don't know why people get so upset with pricing. If the person who is selling something gets money for it and the person who is buying it doesn't mind paying for it then why is it anyone else's problem?
