Money talks and bullshit walks!!!!
This is cigars not a Nobel Peace Prize.
Who cares if the box is bought buy an individual or 12 different people.
If the store has a high demand, they should buy more inventory.
Maybe I am insensitive.
That's not necessarily the case in some cigars that are HTF. It's not that the shop would make any more money selling them to multiple people vs just one buyer, but it's the service they offer letting more people have a crack at getting a stick they normally wouldnt be able to find. My local does the same thing with Anejo when they come in, always a limit of 2, just so he can spread the wealth to his customers. I for one appreciate him doing that, of course I'd love to buy the whole box, at least this way I get a couple at a time.
I understand your point 100%. However, cigars is starting to be like fine art. Everything is limited. The industry is going after the "limited" market because they can make a killing. If I can find a good value, I will buy as much as I can. Honestly, I don't care if anybody else can get a certain stick. I would love to find a box of AF Hemmingway WOA Maduro's. Oh well life sucks for me. I love the LFD Chisel Maduro's, but I can only find one online retailer. Oh well, I paid and extra $20 per 10 box. I love the AVO 80th, but they cost $350+. The supply is dwendling, but I can't justify almost $400 for a box. Oh well, life sucks for me. If I had the cash, I would buy 5-10 boxes. Oh well, that would suck for everybody else.
By the way Volusianator, I love your humidors. I wish I had your skills.
