Yes. If I can get something I couldn't before, it's worth it.

No. What they paid is what they should charge.

No. If they're selling, it must be worth less, not more.

If the ban on flavored cigars goes through I am betting it wont stop there

I really hope people band together, and push their congressman
and senators to support our cause! This makes no sense!

I pay a premium for "almost impossible to find cigars I like" all the time, and I'm happy to pay it. If a guy has had a box of smokes in his care for 10 years, it has definately cost him something quantifiable to store them correctly and keep them nice for me to smoke.
If he paid five bucks a stick ten years ago, I'm more than happy to pay 10 bucks a stick now, and I think that's a bargain.

For me, HTF sticks like Opus X are different from say - Boris. Older out of production sticks should charge what the market will bear but I won't be buying them. I won't begrudge the seller either though.
Sticks with limited availability like Viajes are different. If they are a recent release I would frown on mark-ups close to their release. Of course the seller can do what he/she wants but this does smack of opportunism. Same with Opus Xs.
Something like Casa Fuente is somewhere in the middle for me. Perhaps a modest mark up I would tolerate (10% ish)...

For cigars no longer produced yes of course, and I'd gladly pay extra if I want it. HTF....idk. I pay more for them but I don't like to.
