I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed this.
Example: Page 11 of my catalog (Has the La Auroroa Superiores on the front cover)
Montecristo Media Noche, Edmundo (Robusto) Size, 5 pack listed at $42.
Right next to it is an offer for a combo, consisting of a 5 count herf-a-dor, Xikar Fuego lighter, and 5 Montecristo Media Noche Edmundos for $39.99.
So, the combo with 2 useful things is cheaper than the cigars by themselves.
Also, the Montecristo Media Noche No. 2 torpedo is listed at $62 for a 5 pack.
Turn to page 43, the same Media Noche No. 2 5 pack is only $25.
So, you can save $37 on an identical item just by using a different item number.
Then, when you throw in CI + free shipping vs. C-bid with paid shipping, but discounted shipping if you ship weekly, it becomes a (sometimes not so) fun game trying to figure out how to get the best deal on stuff you want.
I didn't think I'd have to do so much research to get the best prices. No wonder this hobby is so obsessive!
