I will send an additional 3 sticks to be added to the prize pack as an apology to all. Mark, I will PM you the naked puro I sent which I am sure is above the agreed upon prize.

I apologize to EVERYONE once again and I assure you my B&M will have a hard time with me.

I feel bad about this can't apologize enough.

While that's a very kind gesture, it's not necessary. Like I said, your other two prize pack puts were in range - your good to go. If you want peace of mind, you can PM me the puro to ensure it falls within the rules, but if you've consulted the reference suggested, everything's good.

Again, my post wasn't so much to call you out (well, maybe a little bit) but to make aware to others the proper pricing of sticks. Unfortunately, I experience B&M price hikes above MSRP here as well. I suppose it's because they have so much more overhead than an online retailer would.

No need to send any more sticks, but thank you very much for your gesture and the apology. That speaks volumes of your character.
