Lots of Olivas today.
Maybe they're expecting a price increase soon so they're trying to get rid of old stock.
So I decided to go down this rabbit hole... I picked a random stick and found the jam price from July 9, 2015. With all our bitching about price increases, I was surprised to find the following: Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Tubo (5.0 x 54) - 5 / $29.50. I'd bet most any stick I would have picked would return similar results.
Case and point: 2/10/2015 - Ramon Bueso Genesis the Project Robusto (5.0 x 50) - 10 / $29.99
The small V price increase is pretty great, really puts some perspective on our expectations. The RB price being the same is just crazy. I've always thought they've been pretty steady along the $3 per line, that just proves it.
Look again, my friend. The V price decreased.
Ah, right you are. My bad, got those numbers reversed in my head. Probably because I was expecting the older one to be lower, which only further serves to prove your point.

EDIT: Must be the lack of tubes now. :D

Good afternoon.
I think I also need to pick me an afternoon cigar to smoke.

Not sure I'm going to be able to. It's currently pouring like a sonofabitch.

Although it looks like it's only going to last another 15 minutes, then clear up until 8:pm.

You always got a place in the upstate to retreat to.

It appears that it will pass quickly enough.

Back from dinner now. We had some weather roll through here while we were gone. Lots of stuff down in the neighborhood, but somehow, we don't seem to have lost power. Lots of people in the area without.

In fact, just got this from my FIL, from nearby his house. They live about 10 miles away.
