Cigar Weekly

I've noticed that cigar prices have been going up steadily since Biden took office. I used to be able to by a box of Oliva MB3 Churchill at Holt's for $79 on sale. Now, the sale price is $99. It's the same for other cigars as well.

I'm not necessarily blaming Biden. But the economy, with Covid and other factors, has caused an increase in prices.

That definitely sucks.
The prices of cc's have already gone up, and was hoping nc's would be my cheaper way to have good smokes still and maintain variety.

No changes in price over the last few months that I've seen on Neptune, which is my preferred nc vendor for their great selection of singles.

Hopefully they stay the same

Nope. Blame excessive taxation and the looming breakdown of the world's supply chain. Shit's gonna get really serious in the next couple of months. Stock up now while you still have the chance.

Fortunately I have a pretty good stock of nc's, hopefully enough to ride out price increases and supply problems, but it's iffy depending on how long it lasts.

So far haven't seen any increases in prices with my regular nc vendor, but they are out of stock on a fair number of things

I have more cigars than I will be able to smoke with the remainder of my life. More ammo than I can expect to shoot too.

That's a funny story. My wife was watching some sort of crime or disaster show. She turned to me and said "do you think we have enough ammo?"

The next day I came out of Walmart with another 500 rounds
I would have bought more, but that was all the 9mm they had in stock.

Sad to see prices climbing again.

I shop Holts a lot and have noticed same. The AJ Toro 10pk sampler that they’ve had in the past for 39.99 is up. Military discount helps but still - 10% off of a bigger number still yields a bigger number. :-/

Cool to hear that Holts offers a military discount. Will have to contact them about it so I have another vendor with a veteran's discount to shop from.

Just an fyi, Neptune has a 10% veterans discount too.
