Fuente Hemmingway Classic, Signature, & Sht. Story

[McPatrickClan]

I recently found quite a few of these and was wondering if they are very hard to come by? If so, Dallas-area users, PM me and I will give you the info.

 

[PuroBrat]

Usually Hard to find, but at times our shops around here get in a few boxes, they go fast tho. Did you find them at or below MSRP?

 

[McPatrickClan]

Short Story: $5.30
Classic & Signature were less than $10

 

[PuroBrat]

Not too shabby, I have bought the SS for 5 even, but would gladly pay the extra $0.30 to get one right now (figuratively speaking)

I have not purchased the other Himmis so I am not sure on those.
Are you a big Himmi Fan?

 

[McPatrickClan]

PB, I am not very big on the Fuentes that I have had so far, but I figured with all the hype, I would give these a shot. I bought one of each for $24. PM me if you want to know where.

Of those three, I'd say the Short Story was the most rare. Of the few shops that I go to, I can usually find one, if not all of these, however there is commonly a limit of 2 on them. :angry:

I concur with Dave. Although having said that, my favorite shop right now has SS's and Classics but hasn't had the Sigs in quite some time. And quantities are limited to 3. They are all readily available online in box quantities.

So I paid over MSRP DOH! ??? :sign:

 

[Matt R]

You wouldn't be the first. Most places mark up Fuente products even though if they are authorized dealers they could get their account pulled.

 

[DaveWF]

Who would we contact at Fuente, so we can threaten the shop owner with losing his account to get him to stop ripping us off?!

The local Fuente rep would be the person who should enforce this "rule". Truth be told, nothing will happen as the shops are the source of income for Newman/Fuente and people are going to buy the products no matter what price. If it's moving from the shelves the reps. have no real incentive to enforce the "rule."
