Ever since I started looking on line again at cuban cigars, I find it more difficult to buy anything in the States... Granted most of what I am buying needs some time but I still have a nice stash of stuff with 6 to 7 years of age to tide me over. When I look at the value of the cigar I can get for $4 - $8 a stick compared to what I can get here for the same price, it just blows my mind....

I suggest that you buy as many as you can and put them away for long term aging.
Then, you can start selling grab bags again. You have my addy.

True, but at the risk of getting caught; I'm fine for now with our domestic cigars.

Agreed. Hard to justify spending $10+ for the HTF stuff when I can buy great cigars in that $5 - $8 range.

I am in the same boat, it is hard to walk into a B&M and buy a $8-$10 dollar smoke when you can by ISOM which are outstanding for $4-$6.
