Yowzah! Cuban Cigar Pricing Going Up...Way Up!!

[BlindedByScience]

Time to switch to Gurkhas.

I hear Thompson has some really great deals on bundle smokes. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.....

Now maybe I can convince my wife that all these years of stocking up was really a smart move.

Sounds like a page right out of the oil/gas companies playbook. Need record profits again this year? Just raise those prices up a bit. Hell I haven’t heard of them losing money since Deepwater Horizon, and even then I’m not sure if they lost all that much.

Only difference with cigars is that we don’t need them to drive…or do we? Haha

You should have bought one of those boxes of Cohiba Corona Especiales when you had the chance bro!

Truth...

So not too bad except for some of the ultra premium stuff

Well there goes 2 of my favorites:

“No cigar in the entire Habanos portfolio will increase more percentage-wise than the Trinidad Reyes, a 4 3/8 x 40 petit corona that will go from €9.60 per cigar to €32, a 233.3 percent increase. The Trinidad Fundadores will see the smallest increase by percentage in the brand, but it is still more than doubling from €25.90 to €61 per cigar.”

Hmmmmm?

1. Slam my dick in a car door?
2. Pound my nuts flat with a rubber mallet?
3. Smoke Gurkhas?

Decisions .... decisions!

I guess buying and smoking more NCs could be the answer. Value wise, Habanos are still at a reasonable rate compared to NCs. You have to do the math on them and see what works for your budget.

What I see more and more of Habanos going to limited, regional and speciality cigars of existing cigars which they charge a premium already, The Romeo y Julieta Linea de Oro is just an example, jumping an astounding 197.3% in price. Talk about inflation going from 18.5 Euros to 55 is unbelievable!

 

[CigarStone]

Damn you guys!

I do NOT need to be buying anything right now! Let alone more cigars!

I guess I will just buy a couple boxes.

 

[smellysell]

Sad news on the Trinis.

For some strange reason, I’m not upset at all about this massive price increase in Cuban Cigars.

I think it was 6 months or so ago, I asked @CigSid on the Vherf if we should all be panic-buying Cubans. The answer was yes. I assumed it would be.

I heard that all gurks are actually made in Cuba, which is why there so good. No compromise needed.

Based on the information contained in this thread, I believe it would be financially irresponsible of me to NOT buy some of the sticks that are going to increase in cost.

If just one person will "like" this post, I am clicking "submit order".

Done

And now there is a greater incentive to produce more counterfeit cigars with better quality graphics and packaging?
