My point was that MSRP is not really a fair base point for assigning value. To me it's just some odd number that the marketing geeks have assigned. But if nobody ever pays that price, why bother using it?

True. I assume they use the MSRP because they need some sort of baseline. I guess they could use they're normal selling price for each cigar, but I don't know if they sell singles, so it wouldn't be the same. Listing the single price of a 10-pack or box would not be accurate.

I also agree that some months will be better than others. This was a less than stellar month, but even with this selection I don't feel like I paid too much.
