Am I nuts? Are some Carlos Torano's and Ghurka's the same?

I just did some quick price comparisons and noted that the Gurkhas are about $1 more per stick. Any reasons as to why?

cost of packaging, bands, possibly some marketing reason. Probably along a price-break marketing thing.

I agree with nhfan. Torano is quite the marketer, he also rolls CAO.

Nothing wrong with that, its good buisness, but a cynic like myself wonders if these guys are focused more on the quality of cigars or the marketing of cigars.
