Stop it! That tickles!
I have a B&M that I frequent because I have a friend that works there and he usually gives me a decent deal on cigars. The place is located in a mall and the prices reflect that fact usually $1-$2 over MSRP. He got the same allotment of Anejo's that most shops got...1 box of each. They sold out quickly.
Well, Monday I was shopping and stopped in for a smoke to kill time with. It was close to closing. When I walked in the humidor in the corner of my eye I saw some tell tale boxes. There they were 3 boxes of Sharks, 2 48's, 2 46's and 2 55's. Checking the prices(I knew they would be high) he had each box priced at $288.80. While this was high, I wanted the Sharks (of course) but I knew that my friend would be working the following morning. leaving I called him and asked him to set me a box aside and I would be in on Wednesday to pick them up from him, he had no problem doing that.
Wednesday comes and I stop in after work. He says "I got that box for you, what did you say the price was?" I told him and he said "Look at them now." He held the box of Sharks up and it had a price tag of $550 on it! I was flabbergasted! Of course I said "no thanks!" He said "No I will give them to you for the original price we talked about." which was nice.....I checked the rest of the boxes and every box was priced at $550 or $25 per single (yeah, I know, that makes sense). Needless to say I know where I will not be going any time soon. BTW, his cost on the Sharks was $176. But there is a box resting comfortably in my humi.

-Please don't PM me wanting any....these are going down for a long rest......but I do know where there is another for $550 but I ain't buying it.
