Cuban Price List Update (01/02/2014)

Happy New Year!  Did you miss me?  You can admit it if you did.  You're not any less of a man.  I missed you.  I had a nice, relaxing respite from scouring the Internet for the greater good of all Habanos smokers, but now I'm back and itching to see what 2014 has in store for us.  I even managed to receive a new donation/subscription, bringing the grand total to... 1.  <sigh> UNDAUNTED, I SOLDIER ONWARD.

The latest price list has been posted above.  I will post a detailed analysis of where to go with your Christmas cash tomorrow, as there's lots to talk about and time is short.  Here are some quick items of note:

  • Most of the holiday sales are now over, as you might expect.  However, a new doozy of a deal has just started and runs through January 7 -- CUNTINT is offering 17.5% off sitewide with the code FOHHOLIDAY175.  This brings them below the usual price leaders on selected smokes.  More on the hits tomorrow. 
  • The Montecristo #2 was CA's cigar of the year, if you didn't know by now.  No, there will not be a 'run' on them and no, nobody is going to gouge you on these.  They make tons of these cigars.  Were they made by Drew Estate, you'd get rung up for an extra $3-4 per stick at every B&M in the USA.  If you're the type that likes to hunt box codes to find the mythical match for the same sticks that Savona and Mott smoked, please don't.  There are much better things to do with your time and most of this vitola have been quite good this year regardless of code. 
  • H. Upmann Sir Winstons breezed in and out of the retailers as quick as Saint Nick.  They have just about dried up everywhere and it only took a couple of weeks.  Same is true of BellHop's stock of Cohiba 1966.  I wonder if I had anything to do with that?
  • I'm going to be removing LCDH Knokke (yeah, I know I keep saying this) but honestly, I just can't decide who is reputable enough to add in their stead.  People cry:  Puro, Puro!  but I am still leery of them.  I think I'll put up a poll.  That's a democratic thing to do.  However, I still maintain the right to veto because much like Castro, I still have The Power.
Peace and prosperity to all for 2014.
