It seems like the forum has become somewhat more elitist since the year 2000. Is that accurate?
Also, that $50 box of JdN now costs $156.99 at the mothership for robusto grandes. That's over 300% inflation in 22 years. That's a lot. An online inflation calculator says it should cost about $84. There's a few extra taxes now, but even with them, $100 max. The other $56.99, don't know why that's there other than more people smoking, more faux connoisseurism, more market demand, more suckers like us willing to pay jacked up prices.
