AF Don Carlos 13cnt box sale.

The vendor knows how to make some extra cash.

Does anyone now if they have a Fuente account?

I see the same price at a couple of spots. It's definitely not out of line. There's a ton of guys you can fairly call out here but Rahul's not one of them IMO.

Yes one is smallbatchcigar.com and they had them at $240. I saw them at $250 somewhere else last night but I will have to figure out where it was and get back.

In my defense...

- I do have a Fuente account - in fact I have an Opus account
- I am one of the most reputable vendors on this site - please see my TC
- I consistently offer some of the lowest prices on many HTF cigars across all brands - many who have purchased from me over the past year can attest to this
- The Don Carlos Al 13 Lancero has a suggested retail of about $18 before local state taxes as indicated here:

[url=http://www.halfwheel.com/review-arturo-fuente-don-carlos-lancero/]http://www.halfwheel.com/review-arturo-fuente-don-carlos-lancero/[/url]

I am located in MD (15% OTP tax.) When taking this tax into consideration the prices comes to $20.70 a stick. I am selling these for $19.23 a stick ($250 for the box of 13.) This is pretty much straight retail pricing (less in fact) for what is a considerably hard to find cigar that is available in extremely limited quantities.  That being said, I don't find the need to discount this particular box of cigars as they are very highly sought after

I hope this helps to alleviate some of your's or anyone else's concerns

Thank you,
Rahul

All good. I'd check your MSRP though. They are $13.50. I beleive the $18 price being thrown around is Casa's price.
I could be mistaken.

Thanks.

I could show you my invoice if you'd like...

There are some stores that offer them for less...Famous being one I believe, but honestly, I couldn't tell you why they sell them so cheap.  They definitely shouldn't be selling them that low.

Sorry to hear that.

I'd have a talk with your rep as the stores don't appear to be selling below msrp.
