I agree 100% that the Anejo box prices are steep to say the least. As far as the sharks, since there are five less per box, the 49 and 55 are higher per stick anyway (doesn't explain th eother sizes of course). I haven't been in there for a few weeks, but I know that Billy didn't have any Anejo boxes during the regular Fuente holiday season release (I asked him in late December). The only Anejos he had were the ones in the Fuente holiday sampler. Another Chicago shop, Iwan Ries, just received their shipment of Anejos two weeks ago however. Anyway, as has been previously mentioned in this thread, Billy et. al run a great shop and truly do take care of their customers. I for one hope that this doesn't put Billy in the gouger classification as he really is a great guy and his prices on most other lines are in check. Just my $0.02.
