But when considering a box split maybe you can get the box for $100 for 20 and you only want the 5er. So that means you can offer 3 5ers for $25 plus shipping the shipping is what screws over cheaper box splits. Small flat rate is basically $8.50 now. So that moves your $5 cigar into a $6.70 cigar. So if the cigars is a great deal at $5 is it still a good enough deal for someone at potentially $6.70 or is it a $7 cigar they can walk into a B&M and purchase without the mail time?

    My experience is thats where most of us even those with smaller budgets either get the 5pk to see if you like it or more storage on the stuff you enjoy if you can get the deal.

    Just my 2 cents
    Nice summing up on the way most of us on Cigarbum are likely to view box splits. The flat rates sure do play a part when the box split is on a widely available cigar medium price cigar.

    I do not have a B&M anywhere near me. Does anyone have a recommended retail site that would have comparable prices to what you usually see at your local B&M?

    I currently use whichever auction site I am usings twin retail site just to compare current costs at their own retail site for the same item. But that is not showing me what you may be able to get them for at your average B&M.
