I agree, this trend has been going on at least 2 or 3 years before SCHIP.

I think it's a case of less amount of product for the same amount of money.

exactly...same with candy, sodas, everything is smaller, weighs less and costs only a little bit more. They thought we wouldn't notice.

And 20 cigars is never enough....unless they are cremosas.

Just wanted to add a little more on this.

In no way has any cigar company that I am aware of, started charging the same price for a 20 count box that they charged for a 25 count box.

The majority of cigars are sold in singles. With the exception of SCIP, cigars haven't really seen a huge price hike.

If cigar X cost $7 per cigar, then your paying $140 for the box of 20, if it was a 25 count box it would cost $175. No one is charging anyone more for less.

This is nothing like candy, or cereal, or any other type of consumable, as you don't buy those items by the piece, but rather only by the box, or bag or how ever else it may be packaged.

No one is trying to pull a fast one on anybody. If anything it is a way to make buying a box more affordable.
