Thanks Kris

I'm not telling you as I think that July is your month on the Birthday pass and now I have some ammo to throw.

Alright curiosity has got the best of me. Can someone PM me the secret Illusione source. Thanks

I would like to thank all of you for the kind words. I am sad to say that I was not complient with minimum advertised price on Illusione Cigars. Someone policing your forums figured this out and brought it to my attention because someone posted my price in open forum. I now have Illusione cigars for suggested retail price.

Thanks

We should have a sticky or forum rule about this. I have ordered from Eric and other great BOTL here who gave awesome deals. This is not the 1st time I have seen this either do to manufacturers/distributors getting wind. Whats worse is now you know how ridiculous the mark-ups on cigars can be.

Drazzil · 06-21-2009, 05:00 PM

Yeah. Now we are all f'ed with the retail price because someone couldn't keep their big gob shut, and I am just pissed because I was going to order from that source today, but I see the message. Well. If anyone knows another place can someone PM me?

Drazzil · 06-21-2009, 05:28 PM

Seriously folks. I didn't mean to be angry in the original post but there is a huge difference between the original price and retail because of people not keeping a modricum of simple discretion. I am going to have to buy Illusiones at retail now if I want to buy a box. I was literally going to buy a box TODAY but I cant now because some earlier posters shot off at the mouth. Seriously, that REALLY stings folks. I cant have my box of 88's because the price is now beyond me.

Its too bad that someone had to post prices in an open forum and has consequently changed the price for everyone. It is also too bad that someone had to be a whistle blower just because The Party Source was passing great deals onto their customers and they felt that was a problem. Eric has great deals and all you have to do is call, but sadly I feel like it has now changed because of a select few

bigloo · 06-21-2009, 05:49 PM

The idea of minimum advertised price sucks. If a retailer wants to run his business with less margin and higher volume, he should be allowed too. Anyway, not the forum or place for this argument. Eric is a still a great BOTL with great pricing who has earned our business like the other great retailers who join us on these boards.

Drazzil · 06-21-2009, 05:52 PM

Well, if anyone knows anyone else *read someone who isin't now forced to sell at retail* can you give me a PM? Thanks.

elderboy02 · 06-21-2009, 06:08 PM

Illusione just lost all of my business b/c there are better cigars out there for cheaper than Dion's "awesome" price. When I could get them cheaper, I could justify the purchase. I am not going to pay some ridiculous inflated price.

I would be more upset with the people who couldn't compete with the price and thusly called Illusione on it.

Yep, I wish I knew who it was b/c they wouldn't see another dime of my money. I have my suspicions who it is b/c on other boards they have done the same. They are happy as hell making a zillion dollars on a box of cigars. That is not the BOTL spirit.

Searching for info on a retailer, I stumbled across another forum that a retailer was ratting out other retailers for pricing. It is wrong in many ways. I understand why retailers would not want other retailers selling at lower prices but they should not be reporting them to the cigar manufacturer. The retailer that rats out other retailers will no doubt lose all our business, and we will tell other BOTL/SOTL's not to purchase from them either. If a great retailer ie Party Source understands how the cigar community works and rewards us with a great price that should be the retailer's decision. It blows that a competitor would rat out a fellow retailer and ruin it for the consumer. I hope whoever did it is not part of the boards on CA...

Sadly, I feel that it was a member here who did this.
