I was in a B&M on Saturday and noticed a box + some of WOA and a part box (maybe 15) of WOAMs. I've looked at these before there but didn't realize the price difference.

WOA were $7.50 USD

WOAM were $10.95 USD

I've never seen any Maduros with such a price difference over the naturals before, in any brand or size. Obviously gouging, and I assume on the part of the B&M owner??

I have noticed a price difference in PAN vs PAM. The price you qoute is gouging at $273 a box :0 . I think a reasonable price to pay for WOAM is between MSRP and $25-$30 above for a box.
 
I've always seen maduros a little higher than naturals. It's not the best price, but it's not the worst price on WOAM.
 
My local got a box of the signature maduros, and he priced them the same as the naturals, $7.95 per stick. He limits the maduros to 2 per person per day.
 
Rare, but not unheard of to get Maduro Hemis for the same price as their Cameroon counterparts. I've never really checked to see if MSRP is the same, because the maddies are rarer, so I'm willing to pay a little more.

As has been mentioned, PAMs do come out of the factory with a higher price than PANs.
 
Thanks Bro, I saw a pic Añejo and Opus X Reference thread. Never have those. But my B&m has the between the lines, I guess I sould pick up some of those
 
My B&M still has not gotten in any WOAM's yet.
On Thursday they told me to check back on Monday.
Today they told me they expect the Fuente shipment in on Wednesday.

Very frustrating... :angry:
 
I have bought em for 7.25 all the way up 11 a piece. So it varies. I always tell myself how good they will taste this summer when I have one hangin off my lip, a glass of bourbon in one hand, and flippin a ribeye on the grill. It makes the pain a little easier to bear.

Then you have to look at how much your time is worth to you. I mean I could waste a whole day making phone calls searching the internet and what not to find a good price, but in the end is a whole day worth the amount of money you have saved? It is all relative to you and your situation. I mean would you drive 20 miles to save 7 cent's a gallon on gas?

That is how I rationalize cigar prices. Some time you get a hell of a deal sometime your don't. It all equals it's self out in the mighty cosmic cigar circle.

I have a few at home, I've picked one up several times with the intent of smoking it, this weekend included. Each and every time I put it back as I only have 6 of them and just want to be sure that the first one to be smoked in the right setting. One of these days I'll plan to go to the lounge and torch one.

Thinking about it, I'm kinda hoping that I don't like them as they're not the easiest cigar to come by and when you do, they are a bit pricey. Damn, I'll probably love the dang things! :rolleyes:
