Believe it or not this was first concepted by Gene Argenese. While I'm not a big argenese guy, the idea is a good one.

You are getting 20 cigars. However, the way it's bundled is as 10 cigars. These reason this is done is because SCHIP taxes you PER cigar. At 40 cents per cigar, this saves you $4.00 per box.
