I don't think wholesale prices have risen.
This last batch I got lucky with Mars Cigars, they are the best no doubt, they even sell 2oz samples from the 8oz bags, too cool --- and they remain $22.95 per 8oz
I did miss the Stonehaven boat there though, but found some at Payless, ten days ago it was selling @ $27.95 when I picked a bag up, now they're up to $29.99, btw, for anyone interested, they have Pembroke, Tilbury, Peacehaven and St. Ives in stock at the moment...

Tobacco Supermarket goes @ $38.00
they seem to have some in stock too, it's best to email first with them to verify though, Joyce White runs it, she's very knowledgeable and very cool too...

I've been wanting to try Woodbridge for a while, and found a place with some, @ $34.95, still flip-flopping, I need to go ahead and get it, I like Hastings and it's supposed to be like that only slightly stouter...
...anybody around here smoke Woodbridge? Any info or opinions most appreciated.
I reckon the prices are just about all over the map,
P&C still charges the most though, $49.99 is the highest retail price I've ever seen it go for.
The up-charging may be a trend though?
If so, will it actually help ward off the scalpers?
