I have been seeing alot of people talking about these cigars....have you had one before?? I have got to break down and get some, they look like they are really tasty!

[whodeeni]

Nice hauls everyone!!

[DropTheE]

Yea, power ranger is the friendly name, Super belicoso xXx is the formal name...

I do like Opus, but, they were not all mine, I am just the pimp.....

Eric, did you score your boxes at a local store or online??

Not Online as I will not pay those prices, not local...

I know, the online prices are nuts!!

[wolfandwhisky]

I know, the online prices are nuts!!

Local B&M is virtually the only way to go - and you have to find a B&M that is an authorized Opus dealer than is selling product shipped from Fuente. Otherwise, B&M prices may be similar to online prices.

As a heads up to everyone... there is an Opus shipment that is hitting the shelves now. As I understand it, shipments are down to three times a year (used to be four). So, now may be the time to strike if you want to buy a box of Opus. And deep down, you know you do. :banger

Of the four Opus X's that I have smoked...I am not impressed with them at all. :td For the price, I would rather smoke so many other sticks. :2

They need a lot of down time. I used to feel the same as you and that was until I smoked an Opus that sat in my humi for at least three years. That stick was probably one of the best I had ever smoked. Soon after that I bought a good amount that got buried in the cabinet not to be seen again for 2 or more years. Fresh from th B&M or even less than a year I hate 'em believe it or not.

[wolfandwhisky]

Of the four Opus X's that I have smoked...I am not impressed with them at all. :td For the price, I would rather smoke so many other sticks. :2

Two considerations:

1. A lot of people bash them for the price, or say that for the cost of an Opus X they could get a couple of sticks they enjoy more. That is partly because a lot of people don't pay MSRP for them. A local resorts sells the Perfexcion X for $80. How many cigars can you think of that are worth $80? But, for $12-$15, it is a whole different story.

2. As neoflex mentioned, they age well. Seems to me that a lot of people who have them young and don't like them really like them after they've had some age.

Gotta agree with the above on Opus. When I was first introduced to Opus last year, it's all I smoked, and searched for. Everyday...Opus, Opus Opus...until I got tired of them, and couldn't stand the flavor of another one. But the whole bottom double drawer of my humi was full of em...so they just sat for a year in there, without seeing the light of day. I began pulling one out here and there lately...and holy crap these are good. :tu

[Dunkel]

I don't have any fancy, expensive cigars to show, but I did pick these up from C-bid the other day...

I got a box of LHCOF Beli's a few weeks ago, too, but they went to the humidor without any pics being taken.

Nothing wrong with those Legend Red Labels Doug!! :tu

Well I went crazy again.
2 Boxes of Nubs
354 Connecticut and 460 Habano
1 Box of Partagas Black Label Crystal Tubos
1 Box Oliva G Cameroon Toros
and for fun....maybe I will smoke one who knows:rolleyes: a Soprano Special Edition with the funny cigars!!!

Not pictured, I also picked up 10 Tempus Quadrums and 10 more G.A.R. Robustos. Getting close to being stocked up for the summer. I am thinking 4 more boxes and I will be about where I want to be + the Lexington will be starting to get filled up.

[Chris.]

Today's purchases. Kistoff Sumatra and Maduro, two epernays, illusione~68~, seleccion del sol, two tat red tubos

well done guys!!!!

[DropTheE]

Just won my first Cbid auction....scored a box of Perdomo2 L.E. Epicure Maduro for $58.00+ $5.95 shipping
Not too bad of a price...over at the CI site, they are 106.00 for a box so feeling like I got a pretty good score. They had some of those Padilla Dominus Robustos that ended up only going for $61.00 (two boxes), I missed putting in a bid for those (I looked and they are 200.00 a box on CI) (Has anybody had Dominus, are they any good??, if so I will keep my eye out for the next time they are on the block!! )
That can be a terribly addictive website...Holy Cow!!
I will put up a pic when my P2's come in.

Woah - hadn't seen those before! Those things looks crazy!

[DropTheE]

Woah - hadn't seen those before! Those things looks crazy!

They are nuts.....It has 2 bats, 2 champagne bottles and an 86 ring guage bullet that would take like 5 hours to smoke!!!
They are just huge!!
They had them on clearance and I figured what the hey!!
Here is the link if you want it
http://www.thompsoncigar.com/product/CAO-SOPRANOS-SPECIAL-EDITION-SAMPLER-MADURO/73658.uts (Has a nicer picture too)

More of a gimmick I suppose, but still pretty neat what they did!

Very cool! I've always wondered how those things would smoke... I've never gotten the balls to buy a set because I have no idea what I'd do with more then one!
That and I'd have to take up stock in my brand of lighter fluid... those things look like they need a flamethrower to get toasted and lit!

I remember reading somewhere online (can't remember where, I was searching one day about if anybody had ever smoked one) if memory serves me, he was smoking one of the champagne bottles and was into it for like 5 hours, totally sick of smoking it and ended up putting it down!! :r

I am curious how good they are as well, gonna probably have to find out the best way I know how. Gonna have to devote an entire Saturday or Sunday to it, I am sure of that!! (Perhaps a nap halfway through!!)

[Chavez15]

Wow, there's a local B&M here selling one for close to $100, my friend almost bought it. I'm going to have to send him the link.

Sorry for the redundant post...just saw this was covered already. :lv

60 bucks for those Sopranos at Thompson. Not sure I'd be able to smoke them. They do look cool though.

They would be a cool collectors item...I would never attempt to smoke one.

It's one of those things were if you're curious to smoke one, you just attempt to smoke them all becuase it you only smoke one, it's useless as a collectors item.

Sounds like a possible photo op for Vin's Herf in the summer.

[neoflex]

Would be a cool piece to have in the cabinet as a conversation piece but it would kill me to give up that much real estate as extra storage space is almost non existent. I don't think I could come up with enough free time to even attempt to smoke one, nor do I think it would be enjoyable once the giggles and laughs faded.:D

[maninblack]

I just checked. They are sold out.

[DropTheE]

I just checked. They are sold out.

Wow, I checked earlier and they still had some. I see them pop up at different spots once in awhile. I will keep my eyes peeled and if I see them for a reasonable price, I will pin it up on the board. :tu

That is the dilemma that I am in. Do I break up the band to try one out, then I am basically left with "NOT a Collectors piece". I do think it makes a heck of a conversation piece to pull out whilst herfin'. But if I leave it as a collector, do I miss out on perhaps a really good, but extremely timely:r cigar??

There are so many ELs and LEs and Collectors Editions and Annual Releases and Regional Releases etc. How many people are really going to want this years down the road? Its based on a TV show. I don't mean any offense, but I vote to smoke it. Maybe smoke a couple, trade a couple.

From a collectibles standpoint, I would venture a guess that you'll get more interest down the road from a Sopranos enthusiast than from a cigar enthusiast.

I went to a B&m I usually don't frequent because I don't like the owner....Well I had no choice, they had My Father Lanceros at half off! I grabbed em all!!!!I just wish they had more than 8, oh well 8's more than none! I wouldve also returned with mag o opus, but "he didnt want to open it yet", what a dumbass.....b m owner not wanting to open a box to sell just yet, wtf????

Exactly!! You are absolutely right Matt!! I really do think that I am gonna smoke one, I mean really that is what a cigar is for. I think it would be something fun, and who knows, it might be a good stick or egg or monolith!!!

[DropTheE]

Well, here it is guys. I put some pics up at Jim's request (KenyanSandBoa) of the Soprano Cigars, probably much easier to just give you a link to the album so here it is. Some interesting pics that will give you a feel for the sheer size of the Champagne bottle and the bullet. Enjoy!!

Holy cr@p! That champagne bottle is huge.

It would be pretty funny to sit down at a poker table with that thing, look around, and say "yeah, I plan to be here for a while." :D

Collect or smoke, those things are still pretty wild.

I finally foudn some more petite lanceros locally, butt hey wanted $34 EACH! I asked why they were so expensive and they said cuz they can't get them direct. I wasn't about to spend $30 on a $15 cigar.

I quite enjoy that cigar. I've had 2 of the Edition Limitada; the H. Upman and the Trinidad (both the same blend just different vitolas).

I would try a single first to make sure you do though, some love it some don't.

How much per 45th? their pricing seems meh on the 1964 stuff.

[mithrilG60]

How much per 45th? their pricing seems meh on the 1964 stuff.

Their pricing on the 1964's does seem a little higher than average but their usual pricing for the 45th based on recent newsletter mailings is $21/ea which is usually at or slightly cheaper than most sites I've seen. It's certainly a hellva lot cheaper than the $55 my local B&M is charging ;) Rob and Patrick are good guys and often have call in specials via their newsletter so your best bet is to give them a call directly for pricing (and/or sign up for the newsletter).

You may also be able to find the cheaper at other vendors that I don't have easy access to as many US based vendors won't ship to Canada. As a result there are a lot vendors that most inmates consider "standard" that I don't even bother to look at since I can't really buy from them anyways.

I had to combine one box, and load my travel humidor bound for my locker at Tampa Humidor to fit this one. For anyone wondering about size, it is long, flat and wide. Not something that fits very well into a medicine box-type humidor like mine. It is the same size as the Tatuaje Tubos boxes (actually that is exactly what it is).

Nice haul Kevin. I love those Tempus. :tu

[maninblack]

Me too. I got 20 and as you can see, 2 are already missing.

Nice pick ups. Those are good smokes. How do you like the GH Corojo's? I've only had 1 of the normal, not the vintage and didn't care for it.

[maninblack]

Still haven't tried them Danny. They were a little too wet so I'm gonna let them sit in the humi for awhile. I've heard they are good, especially for the price.

[Emjaysmash]

Loki told me good things about the Vintage 2000 when he smoked it.

I've had the 64 and loved it. Haven't had the 26 yet. It's definitely on the short list. Very nice!

[Smokin Gator]

There are only a few NCs that I refuse to let the stock in the humi get too low. One is the DPG Blue corona gorda. These are a CI exclusive and only come in a cab of 50. I just got a new box that I got off of CBid. They were just too pretty not to share:

I didn't know Tat Black Robusto's existed?

Any info on these? Anywhere to purchase these if they turn out as good as their reputation? What's the average price? Are they sold in boxes?

The original release Tat Black Robustos were released in a ceramic Tatauje jar a few years ago...not in boxes. What you have were promotional 3 packs that Pete Johnson sent to B&Ms. The latest release of the Tat Black is in a tubo. These are fantastic sticks, if you can find them. Pricy to a lot of people, but worth the price IMHO. Drawing anywhere from $ 10-15 a stick. My favorite Tat stick. :tu

The tat blacks released in the jars were not robustos, they were corona gordas and are pretty expensive if you can find them. The robustos were handed out by Pete in 3 pack boxes, not meant to be sold by themselves.

Absolutely right...the jars were filled with Corona Gordas. Thanks for keeping me straight. :tu

Nice AJ Fernandez haul Ken!! Give me a few of those, a few of those, and all of those. :r :r :r

[akumushi]

Those 5 Vegas look great. I never would have thought I would like them but I smoked one in the BTT a while back and thought it was a good smoke.:tu

[pennjones]

Last purchase for a while, we're moving into a house in 2 weeks and I have a lot of expenses coming up, so no more purchases. I decided to go with 3 dpg sampers (each had 3 of the different cigars in it). The perdomo 5er was a freebie.

How about $40 for 20 cigars. Either way great stick and great value.

Some have said they are BETTER than the Diesel's both are blended by AJ F.

I really like them kind of like a Triple Maduro, sort of. Of course they are half the price too.

Been awhile since I had a Camacho Trip Maddy but they were more chewy coffee chocolate with less spice the AAA's are like that but with some spice. Great cigar and COMPLETELY different than the 5 Vegas Series A.

[DropTheE]

Way nice pickups guys!!
