    Oh, boy... Then you're in for a treat if you've not tried one of the more expensive cigars...

    Then again, probably not a good thing - you'll be hooked!!!

    I wish I had a choice It's only money though, and sometimes treating yourself out is important Any "good" cigar in Canada is at least $20! I smoke the $30 price range cigars usually though. A pack of cigarettes is $10 here! hahaha On the lighter side of things, I found a company in the states who has sent me a few boxs of cigars and marked "pens" on the customs form. He also labels the value under $40 so I don't get charged a penny tax!! And I never asked him to do that, I was prepared to pay the damned taxes. A rocky patel '90 goes for around $30 here but I just got a box of 20 for around $120 American! woo hoo I know I will still be smoking a cuban or two a week no matter the price

    Oh, and this is for the government

    $30 for a RP '90??? Holy CRAP!!! I'm pissed having to pay $8... You gotta get into some box splits to make the habit affordable!!!

    Being a Canadian, I recently paid $80 for a Trinidad Robusto!!! It is probably the best cigar I have ever smoked, bar my 2 boxes of 1991 Montecristo #1's.......... (Canada is a nice country but Cigars are SUPER EXPENSIVE!)

    Default Ooops!.....

    Heart felt apologies AND sympathy for my Canadian bretheren. I spoke too soon.

    You are certainly correct. I am aware of some of the silly pricing up north.

    A boss of mine from an older job used to fly down from the home office in Montreal now and then. He would always go home with stuff. Friends and family up north beg us to bring stuff with us when we visit.

    $30 for a Rocky Patel????

    I don't get to have expensive cigars very often. My humidor is empty right now. I'm cleaning it out and getting ready for my next shipment of cigars, whenever they come. Money is kind of tight right now.
