Title: 2018 Las Calaveras LC46 split - TAKE TWO THANKS TO NIRAB!
Post by: headfirst on 06/15/2018 05:53 PM
I'm offering to run a box split on the LC46 size from THE CIGAR VAULT!  Brian will ship a box of 24 LC46 to me for $185.  Who is in?

Nevermind on this.  I just saw that they're going to charge me the absurd California tobacco tax, about a 50% bump, I think because I live in the state and they're based in the state as well.  Plus the stupid code wasn't working.  Looks like I'm done buying cigars from Small Batch.    :nono:

I ran into the same thing a while back.  I ordered a box of cigars for me, and a box for a friend.  When I got to the final checkout page I thought I had accidentally ordered three boxes.  I emptied my cart, added the boxes again, and same total.  That's when I noticed the tax, and after contacting them the owner explained that he was in California and so was I, so the tax was added.  It was crazy.  He was very apologetic, and friendly, but there was nothing he could do.  So I don't order from them anymore.

Unfortunately that is the law.  Same thing happens to me here in NY.  There are a couple of great vendors  based in NY that I used to buy from on-line, but I can't afford them when they add the state taxes.

Thanks Kirk, I have enough 16 and 17, just thought I'd pounce on this sale but I'll wait for someone outside my messed up state to run a special on the 18s.

I'm calling this split closed at 3 ways with appollo and tfkirk since it's only 24 sticks instead of 28 like the original split.  Box arrives Monday boys.
