So I show-up for the release party and find out the company Davidoff store with the company reps are selling them for $46 each, before tax. I thanked them for the information on the cigar and told them I would be picking a few up from a B&M that would sell them for closer to MSRP.
Side Story: saw a guy purchase over $2200 worth of cigars at Casa Fuente. The amount spent was not the crazy part, the crazy part was that was only for about 20 cigars- a 10 pack of some Forbidden X BBMF (I think) and other rare Fuente. I thought I was crazy paying $22 each for my Casa Fuente lanceros.

Yeah but that's Vegas for you. You expect to pay a little, or sometimes a lot, more for stuff. Except for buffets and novelty sized drinks that is. I haven't been there in years but I remember seein those sparkly wrappered Fuentes at Casa Fuente and thinking "No way am I paying that much for a cigar." They were that much.
$46 for a Davidoff is just insane.
