Correct, that is what I was trying to say 2000 CIGARS not boxes... :-)

Paul, I don't have words to express the massive purchase you made!:-)

About $600, I only order a couple of times per year. I do make an occasional purchase of El Cobre's and some Perdomo Mistakes but I am pretty much set in my ways and am limited in my smoking due to having a couple of strokes and a bypass operation on my right leg. Saves me some money.:-)

On the sign up list for the Zombies.......going to try online to get a box!

Nice score and they look bigger than expected unless it's just the photo. The box is unique but not practical when humidor space is usually so limited for most of us with the sickness. To think I hated when Oliva made the V Maddie boxes bigger than the 2008 boxes. With boxes like that and the MOAB box you need some serious free space.
Those are only limited to one shop correct?

Yes, limited to 100 boxes of 20 at Tobacco Grove. And the Zombie does look bigger than expected when everyone was complaining about paying $10 for a smaller vitola.

It is overpriced for the robustoish size it is...

Is size the only criteria for pricing a cigar? What would be a more appropriate price for the Zombie for instance?

Nope, just comparing the price to other robustos...the cigar is obviously not overpriced, since they sold out so quickly.

i bought a Berger & argenti the other day, i believe it was a honduran filler with a very light wrapper - has anybody else heard of these?

i looked it up on good ol' mobile stogie and found no results. was'nt really impressed by the flavor, in fact i had to put it out before i could finish..
