Creative marketing. Sell you less tobacco for the same price. Check out this:

This is in relation to Wrigley's new packaging, but the concept transfers.

Brian Morgan, senior research analyst at Euromonitor, Chicago, concurred: "[Package shrink] is the strategy that has been used in many categories to accomplish a price increase without consumers really noticing or to smooth over the negative reaction."

Morgan added that, in the gum category more so than in other categories, consumers would likely respond positively to slimmer packaging: "Packaging innovations like that do make a difference, independent of what that does to the price."

Though the new packaging is, in effect, a price increase, Wrigley is hailing it as a packaging breakthrough. "Consumers like the fact that [the envelope] is slim, sleek; it feels very contemporary," said Chibe.

There is a LOT of tobacco in a 4x64 cigar...probably as much as in a typical londsale, and certainly more than in a typical robusto (or corona, PC, etc, obviously). These are supposed to retail for around seven bucks, and are apparently quite good. I'd pay $7 for a good lonsdale/robusto/etc, so I don't see the problem here. Innovative =/= gimmicky.

Depends on the size you get. Their largest ring gauge works, not their narrower ones. (Site had three different gauges). Also larger leafs that are good enough to be wrappers are more expensive, these won't require leaves as large, so the wrappers are less expensive on smaller vitolas too.
