I initially complained similarly about Papas Fritas.... thought the $5.99 MSRP in 2013 was too high for a small, short filler, cigar...
I now buy 2-3 tins of them a year... they are well worth the price IMO.. it just took me trying one to make that determination.. have been smoking them with some regularity ever since..
$0.30 higher than the 2013 MSRP on PF (its been 3 years.. a $0.30 higher price point doesnt seem that unreasonable to me).. for a long filler, equally well rolled, similarly sized stick, from a company and factory that has pretty much been heralded since its inception for quality and performance, and from a line that many boutique smokers consider one of the best released in 2015..
Ill take my chances.. and will likely buy a cab without even testing the waters first..
