Price increase.....

[isa]

Compared to the beginning of the year, i see prices of some vitolas have gone up.

Yeah this sucks. What I would have spent on a box last year compared to this year is just crazy! Bad move HSA, I would be buying twice as much this year if it wasn't for this increase.

I am happy blaming lousy governments around the world.

The Cuban government runs the Cuban cigar monopoly and your own governments run your home grown governmental monopolies! In any way, oppressive governments have declared war on tobacco users... and guess what; that mean you!

My guess is that you get your smokes for free at Guantanamo! How's that for perspective?

Yeah, sure, two or three hard discounters raise their price, it's obviously the fault of "lousy governments around the world"…

Yes, yes, yes... And then we argue with each other and possibly even insult other cigar lovers (good mood joking excluded). That's not a good path to walk if self-destruction is not the goal. Unity is the key regardless of wealth, political or religious direction, or whatever reasons (greed, pride...) to build walls around one there might be. Every darn tobacco smoker there is in the world - we are on the same boat. Do I sound like a priest? Ok, I shut up.

I feel that this picture pretty much sums up the thread:

No offense to any of this, but in reality, the price standard is the LCDH.

in reality, the price standard is the LCDH.

Not at all. Local taxes and laws determine prices.
