However, the belief that they are more expensive seems to be a myth. In
fact, on many brands, they are about equal or cheaper than other vendors!

WHAT???!!!

EQUAL??!!!

My favorite "go to" smoke is a Punch Rothchild Double Maduro.

No offense, but that's not even CLOSE.......


Settle down. Read my post again. It didn't say that EVERY cigar was cheaper,
and your picking only one of them does not prove that Famous is more or less
expensive overall.

Now read my original post again and look at the prices. No, Famous is NOT
cheaper for every cigar. But for some it is, and for a few more it's about
the same as the other two (JR and Holt's). And they're more expensive on
others. I didn't make up the prices, I just picked some popular ones at
random and showed the differences.

My original admonition stands. Shop around. I have no particular love of
Famous, and I still believe that their house cigars suck. And I too thought
that they were more expensive, but my analysis (limited as it was) shows
that that is not true. Ignoring any vendor means you may pay more elsewhere.
