I suspect this is where it will be heading. 

Tobacco taxes in many countries make a box of 25 or cab of 50 prohibitively expensive for many. 

I would like to see them offer both 25's and 12's/10's in all lines.

Haven't been a JLP buyer since the Petit Cetros got cut in 17. Maybe they'll put some effort into a new release. The vitola isn't bad. And 12 boxes make it less risky. I might bite on one for $25.

Shouldn't be. Cigars within a marca tend to be priced fairly consistently by gram. In Cuba, all cigars are individually priced and simply multiplied up for 3/5/10/12/16/20/24/25/50. I would expect the price of the Petit Caballeros to be pretty consistent with the Brevas or Conservas per cigar.

Yes, packaging cost per cigar is higher but we're talking cardboard and some cellphone here.

Wow, no, I didn't see the price in the article. My goodness, I'll never pay that kind of money for any JLP. I never paid more than $1.75 for the Petit Cetros.

Way out of line with the rest of the lineup. $4 for a JLP is flat-out absurd, particularly if they don't step up the quality of the tobacco in a serious way. How can they possibly price these above Quintero Favoritos? What a huge miscue.
