Fuente price hike?

[VeguerosMAN]

Did Fuente raise their prices this year?  The local lounge now charges $15 (before taxes) for a Don Carlos Robusto. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me but I remember Don Carlos Robusto being around $10. I would rather grab a PAM Robusto size for the same price or less...

Always going up, Opus X quality going down and price going up... 😭 My B&M is selling the double robustos for $15. Could be lease costs or something else driving it.

State and local taxes can be a big part of the cost.

In NC it's around 20%.

Could be worse fellas, cheapest I’ve seen a Don Carlos here in Canada is $28.00 (around $20usd). At a B&M they’re probably north of $40. I know a friend of mine bought a P2 a few months back and paid around $85. Canada is not a smoker friendly country. 😂

Could be your local lounge increasing prices on their end. The cost associated with running a business certainly isn't decreasing.
