Hi! I found some prices from a supposed reputable dealer, and I just wanted to see if this sounds about right for authentic CC's. These are all approximations in US dollars.
Cohiba Esplendidos - $40 Cohiba Siglo I - $12 Cohiba Maduro 5 - $32
I just wanted to see if these prices were about right.
Thanks!

bcb07 a word of caution, just because the price of a certain cigar is in the range of what a real one would cost does not mean that the cigar is authentic. Having said that the prices are on the high side, I guess it depends on what nation you are purchasing from.

Thanks for all the replies. This is from a very reputable place, I just wanted to make sure it was in the correct price range....it seems a little high, but pretty close though. Thanks a lot for all the help!

Those prices are a bit on the high side. You would be better off to by in boxes, or 10 boxes. I have seen 10 box M5 Genios for $175, And Siglo I Box for $165- it pays to go bigger

The one place I've done business with in Canada has the siglo 1 for 22$ and the Genios for 48$. No esplendido singles, box is on "special" for only 700$.

what I find, is that european vendors that buy from Habanos in Euros have benefited from the weak dollar... the ones that buy in US dollar, well.. someone's got to take it hard
Sal, is right its high but in Ontari-ari-ariooo (Canada) it is more like 200% tax on tobacco.
I'll give you an example, I recently purchased a box of siglo VI's for 420us. That same box sells for about 1480.00 CAD. That's like a 250% markup.
Oh and what kills me is that during this time we have had close to dollar parity with the US since arround Oct 07 and cigar prices are unaffected just like the price of a CA magazine.

What do you mean "duty free" Canadian? There are no taxes paid on them?
