It all depends on what you're after I guess. In my case, I picked up a box of My Father's at 60% of the listed MSRP. There are some brands that you'll find a much lower margin between their cost and MSRP, thus you'll find some brands to be much better deals than others. I searched all of the lowest priced online shops for a box of My Father robustos and I still managed to get it for $25/box less than anywhere else online. In some 5ers I priced, I may have gotten closer to that 80-85% price point, but they were still better prices than I found elsewhere for the most part. I did find a couple minimums that were higher than some retailers, but I would like to think they could match them.

I know in pricing what I've traditionally smoked as far as NC's go (mostly Oliva), nobody out there was within 10% of their prices when you find what the minimum accepted price.
