Looking for a good place to buy Ashton VSGs

[Sir Tony]

I am looking for the best place to buy some Ashton VSGs. I really like the Belicoso No. 1 but need to find a good price. If anyone knows a good place to buy online or has any they want to part with, please let me know, I am very interested.

Thank you!

Check out Habana House at http://www.showmeyourash.com/

Their prices are pretty good so far as I've seen. Nearly in line with what I pay at my B&M which has pretty good prices too.

They just happen to have the Belicoso in stock.

I just ordered a box of Padilla Miami 8/11 Robustos. They're on their way.

We can get them at our b&m for $9.00 or $10.00, I forget which. I wonder if once you factor in shipping that site is cheaper.

I'm sorry. I stated previously that I ordered Padilla Miami 8/11 cigars at Habana House. I ordered these from another site. However, I did order a box of Padron 1964 Exclusivos listed at $255.00/box on 12/28. I paid $14.95 shipping FEDEX next day air. They were shipped on the date of my order. I had the box in hand on 12/29. Shipping would obviously be cheaper if you can wait for your cigars. I had an empty humi that needed filling. I think the the price I paid for the Padrons is competitive compared to other online venders. My local B&M sells them for about .50 cheaper...when they're available. I would buy from Habana House again if I wanted something that's a little more difficult to find like the VSGs. I've seen plenty of stores with VSG singles, but not too many boxes.

At $209.95/box, the Belicosos come out to about $8.75 per stick. Add another quarter to fifty cents for regular shipping.

That's a good price on a per stick basis, but I guess you have to buy by the box for that price. The B & M I find the VSGs at is in Tuscaloosa, and they generall run $10 to $12, depending on size, and I get 10% off that as a repeat customer. Since the store is 100 miles away, generally only buy some when I'm in T-town visiting my kids at college. Several CS members at T-town if this is a good single stick price. The students down there that are CS members are stand-up guys, and could probably be talked into a go-between if you can't find a cheaper source.

It looks like my B&M has a pretty good price on VSGs. They are like $8.89 for the No. 1's. Thanks for the the help!

Iwan Ries in Chicago sells them at MSRP. They do sell fast though. They don't always have stock. The last box I purchased there was $191 before shipping if I remember correctly.
