Check out TXMatt's cheap smokes thread. I think he is a little ahead of CA as far as bargain recomendations go: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/subscri...n&folderid=all

And in that thread I am conducting a 5-box/bundle split right now. Highlighted above in red are 3 of the 5 that we have in the the split (only change is we are splitting the Grand Cameroon Robusto not Belicosos. In addition, the prices we got are quite a bit better than the ones listed above. Each of the ones above in red we are picking up for about $2.00 a stick.

Good post, but if you want to find some more treasures keep an eye on Matt's Cheap smokes thread - more updates to follow.

Cheers,
