No reason for the principles of Supply & Demand to not apply to cigars. This site should be an excellent indicator of that...for anyone with even a basic grasp of math  :gotcha:

Except that they're jacking up prices on numerous things like El Principe too . . .  which undercuts your point

Does that mean we should turn this into a gouger thread like some other jackasses historically do in the BZ?  :rotf:

A lot of stuff I watch didn't increase thankfully.  But CoRo... 50 pounds increase.    :'(

Something I just received a 10 days ago went up 70 for a cab and a box I considered buying went up 60.  Also never understood why a cab of 50 should cost 126 more than 2 boxes of 25.  Crazy.

I did not mean that with my comment. I would be disappointed in a change to that company.

Update: just spoke to them. Not true, no worries.

Cheers!

Your point being that there is no demand for Principes ? Demand for ALL Cuban cigars just spiked. I've seen significant price increases from all vendors but one.

I'm guessing that they're done with that dead horse...or hoping so.

Agreed.  Complain here about scammers and such all your want and cite fakes or concerns about a listing being legit, but price "policing" is about the most ridiculous thing I've seen here.  Perhaps the policers would be happy to share some of their stocks they purchased a year ago so they don't gouge. 

Supply and demand.  It's a beautiful thing when they want to use it to their advantage.  Nothing on this board is a necessity but a luxury and one would think it would be used with discretionary funds.  If you don't like a price, move on.

Can someone please clarify (PM if required) who is "The Ladies"? I have one in mind but not sure if it's correct.

Stagnettos cigars... in Gibraltar. No guarantees on their shipments and currently they are not accepting new clients.
