Maybe we should have kept this to ourselves. Maybe it wont make a big difference. I notice that in the cigar world retailers don't usually lower their prices when they start doing a larger volume. They raise them. (see cheapercigars.com)

You guys may wanna ask around before singing the praises of atlantic. They have burned a few guys here in the past. Yes, they have a good price but cheaper now advertises the lowest price too and I know Mel will come through even if he doesn't want to.

Thanks for the heads up on that one Pmp. I think that kind of information is EXACTLY what we are looking for on this Forum. If an online dealer doesn't come through or burns customers, there needs to be some kind of accountability.
Sox, Thanks for the offer of help. I really apppreciate it.
Here's how I feel about Atlantic and eSmokestack: In my opinion, they need to post the prices they offer in plain sight for customers to see. Most of the sticks I like are impossible to price on eSmokestack without calling. I did email once and got no response. I shop online because of ease - if I need to hunt down stuff, make calls and have the secret handshake, then it's all about being an "insider" and that isn't what the sheet is made for. If they offer "special" deals for special people, then I am sure they don't want me publishing a sheet on the internet with that info.
I did the sheet for a couple of reasons: 1.) So Joe Cigar Smoker find the best prices in the shortest amount of time. 2.) So online retailers with some snap would realize that there is a small group of dedicated buyers who have certain smokes they want the best price on.
Hopefully it will work on both of those fronts.

Okay, if some people got burned i can understand the hesitation. my last purchase was through cheapercigars, and mel did match atlantic's prices..
but he tried to break my balls a lil over it... like, "i'm not sure if i can do this..i'll call you back."...then, "okay, i'm gonna do this since u'r a good customer and have been with us before"...
i'm a big boy...if i gotta talk an extra 2 minutes...big deal. cheapercigars have always had top quality smokes... so, yah, check em out.
i'm also gonna say i've used atlantic with no problems...take it for what it's worth.
andy, vendors would like to post their prices, but their prices are supposed to be higher and some shops get mad, and b*tch to the supplier...
reference the colgate doctrine in law.
they offer great deals if you call em. actually, it's probably better you don't list em.
