Nah is right... even at MSRP prices, I will still take a CoLa or a Siglo III or IV over any koolaid in DE's lineup.  $23 a stick is approaching BHK 52 prices.

Actually more than BHK 52, last I checked(this morning) they were at 201.

So if non Cuban stuff is koolaid why do so many people here buy it, To resell? serious question and not flipping shit I just confuse so easily   ;D

BTW I was just pointing out a cheaper source as I also had no problem getting my four or five boxes and $225 is a ripoff IMO
[/quote]I've bought both of mine for $140...$225 is ridiculous. I love them just as much as some ISOM and opus I have. I don't see one as superior then the other, just different. I think the American market is so full of palate bladders it's hard to grasp the complexity of a nice aged Cuban. Many of the customers at my B&M all grab the biggest nastiest shit they can find while the owner and trade ISOM, pre embargo, and smoke all the lanceros

LOL!  I hear ya on that.  I've stayed away from LPs becuase of the price for years.  Couple here and there.  I revisited the LP9s recently.  It might not be the most flavorful cigar i've ever smoked, but you cannot argue with the construction and smoke production.  Almost fun to smoke.

I know people are saying $225 for 10 is ridiculous, but $150 for 10 seems ridiculous too.

Price drop!

The only LP9 I ever had that was worth $15.00 was a Saka original.

I am guilty of liking a bunch of nons but I am probably a little over the 50% mark maybe even 60% in Cubans. I also like a lot of different stuff but the non market is clogged your right. I finally narrowed my main supply down to a few brands and most anything Cuban with a few favorites. I think I paid about $160 shipped from friends for the fft's.
