I find on cigar websites (based in the states) that captain blacks go for about 15$ for 200 cigars. http://www.thecigarstore.com/product.php?p=827

How much do these cigars go for in the states in grocery stores and gas stations?

The reason im wondering, is that it sounds like a great money maker if i where to buy some boxes and sell them here.
Darren, I'm sorry but you posted this in the wrong section. You should have put it in the comedy section. I mean I am still laughing!

I just have this vision of some guy wandering around a town somewhere in the beautiful country of Canada with a briefcase full of Swisher-sweets selling them for a buck a piece. Maybe sell them at sporting events or something? You can make $179.50 profit on your investment, but you have to convince 179 people to buy a cigar to get your money back. No wait, I am completely wrong! You could sell them to the gas stations! But they probably already get their cigars for $15 bucks for 200 from the internet and have just marked them up that high due to the high demand.

Overall, I think it's a bad idea Darren, sorry. A better idea would be to order 200 of them and put them in your fireplace to flavor the wood smell with a nice tobacco aroma. I think that is a better use than smoking those dog rockets.
