At today's exchange rates that's:

?101.92 EUR

The latest official price in Spain is ?150.00 EUR, about 47% higher than
the
price in Cuba.

Does anyone know how much a box of ERDM Choix Supremes would run in
Cuba?

Thinking about ordering a box of those and one other box of ISOMs, any
suggestions?- Hide quoted text -

Thanks, so it looks like PE is selling them for the same price as in
Cuba. I'm curious as to how they keep their price so low.

Wrong question. Instead, ask yourself why prices in Cuba are so high.

Answer: Cuban shops are state-owned and therefore prices are fixed. They
are fixed at a fairly high level because a,) they get their customers no
matter what; and b,) they don't want to undercut their outlets farther
afield. This is not uncommon -- allowing for exchange rates, Swiss watches
are roughly the same in Switzerland as in New York, and pearls cost the same
in Australia as in Europe.
