Cigars International?

The price they cross out on their prices is usually the MSRP.

True, but for something like 5 Vegas for example, CI's "MSRP" is kind of a joke, since they own the brand and they never sell at that price.

Not MSRP, but this may help.

I usually just do a google search and look in the "Shopping" hits. Usually the prices are pretty close and you can distill what the MSRP is. Often leads me to some deals I didn't know were out there too.

MSRP is really just a general guide, or starting point. What the manufacturer says the "selling" price should be and what the actual selling price is after state and local tobacco taxes that the retailer has to add are usually two different things. A cigar that has a $5 MSRP might be $5.50 in Tennessee, $6.50 in Michigan and $9.50 in New York. The same cigar might be right at $5 in Florida. If you're traveling, just make sure you take those tax issues into account. I've seen retailers get bashed on forums because they were higher priced than another retailer in another state. Higher prices doesn't necessarily mean you're getting gouged.

Say like the MSRP for a Opus 22 set is $950; but you'll find some retailers selling them for $850; only reason is because cost vs msrp can be a wide range; cost of a opus 22 set is around $500. It's all up to the retailer if they are pushing volume or sitting on stock; reasons why on the devil's site you can get things 'very' cheap; but most of the time they are making money if it's 5% or 700% on other items. I buy from my retailer on different basis; pay up for a product at 15% profit on invoice; instead of this "in shop price"; basically it's money in his pocket.

That's a very decent deal you got going on there. I have a similar deal with a gun vendor he charges cost + 10% to him. Flat rate on everything. I even don't pay tax since it's out of state, so that's his 10% right there.

Cyc is a good starting point; but I am thinking you are wanting invoice price to base your purchase instead of msrp. Only way is to get buddy buddy with your local tobacconist.
