The problem with this is that you knew it was a ridiculously low price, not a "reasonable price"

Maybe you're right... and based on that I would not have blamed the vendor for canceling the order and refunding my money. To me the problem is, they shipped some of them that I never agreed to buy at their full price.

I have a feeling that if you hadn't made the 2nd order, they wouldn't have noticed the mistake. I think you shot yourself in the foot here.

They were in the process of shipping and you placed an order of 15 more boxes. As a business owner that would throw all sorts of red flags to me that something was wrong. Who just up and orders 25 boxes of the same cigar unless something was up?

My 2 Cents.

I was tempted to say that even with the 10 boxes, but then I remembered where I am

Nah, doubtful. I have the feeling they were inundated with orders. The same price stayed up there for 4 or 5 days straight.
