anejo hunters

[barbourjay]

they have landed at many of the locals. i expect them all to hit by the end of the week if not by the first.

[rizzle]

Tampa Humidor?

[zmancbr]

I will most likely not be getting any this year... I still have several boxes saved up and I have stumbled into the darkness and can't seem to find the light again... :r

I have thought about thinning the anejo heard but I just can't ever bring myself to do it... I always picture gollum and then a voice in my head starts saying "my precious..." :D

[barbourjay]

Tampa Humidor?

didn't check on that side of town. only checked around pinellas area.

[barbourjay]

it wasn't just anejos that landed. there were a lot of hemmingway maduros and the like that showed up.

[zmancbr]

Suuuweet..... I do need some more hemi Mads... getting a little bit low... will have to try and stock up on those bad boys... :ss

Thanks for the heads up! :D

[acarr]

Anybody know a good retailer online that has them without the huge markup?

[floydpink]

Now THAT gets my attention. I have a whole drawer of Anejos but never enough Hemi maduros.

My B&M calls when the Anejo and Opus comes in but never seems to get the Hemingway maduros.

rumor has it a close shop got some between the lines along with sigs and classics. i'm more interested in WOAM but no b&m's had them on their packing lists.

[dunng]

Too bad my Fuente dealer burned down... No Anejo or Opus for me! :ss

[parafumar]

between the lines, eh? Looks like the search is on for a 5er or 2. Guess I need to actually try to thin out a couple premiums.

[ucla695]

Thanks for the heads up....and the hunt begins.

[neoflex]

I have a decent number still sitting in the humidor so chances are I won't go nuts this year. Down to one Shark so I may try and see if I can pick up a few more of those but I do not plan on killing myself like I normally do although I said the same thing last year and in true form jumped on the boat way too late but did manage to pick up a few torps(55s?) so all in all it was not too bad. I do like to age them so it's good to have a stockpile.

[Langod]

noob question:
What cigars are we talking about here? The Arturo Fuente Anejo, or something else?

[TripleF]

We have the Hemingway Maduros where I work, but the Anejos aren't in yet, but that doesn't mean you can't stop in and see me if you are in the area. -

How bout you R-Izzle?

[rizzle]

You don't scare me Scott.
:ss

[barbourjay]

2nd shipments hit the larger vendors today. if your shop is small it probably didn't get much if anything. i know vendors in NYC and vendors locally who got them. If you are in the middle or out west you will see them soon. Opus should be here any day now.

[Bubba - NJ]

I posted in another thread that both Holt's locations in Philly have lots of Opus . As for Anejos the center city Philly store had #48s , #50s and #49s in along with hemi maduros . The smaller shops I frequent only had #55s in and the Hemi maduros . One shop did say they were getting more Anejos as per their Fuente rep .

[Waynegro1]

I bought a box of 46's and about 20 other various sizes. I'm heading to my B&M in the morning for more. I've got to stock up. Get 'em while you can boys. Fuente shuts down December 15th. No shipments etc.!!!

I'll buy as many as they will let me and if anybody is interested I'd be more then willing to share the wealth in the Christmas spirit. Not promising anything, you guys know how fast they go.

Oh yeah, did I meniton my B&M sells them at MSRP:ss

[smitdavi]

There were a couple of B&M's in Indy that got theirs a few weeks ago. Picked up a couple of Sharks (got them close to msrp) as an early holiday present to myself :ss

[warpedcigars]

Even if my shops get a shipment, they jack the price to insane highs. A shark will run you $35.

[Vitis]

last week was in a b&m that had 46's with a two stick limit. took two and figured that would be it. Then on monday went to a wine shop we do buis with and they had 3 boxes out! Asked if he cared how many I took, when he said "no", I grabbed the last 14 Sharks and 4 55's. $200 for the lot :ss It was the last thing I was expecting and not in my budget as I had alloted monies for "other deals" that are out there but pulled the trigger anyways. Too hard to say no at that price

Thats about the same around me, but most of the time they are never seen. The owner and help get first dibbs and most of the time the OpusX/Anejo never hit the shelves:(

[borndead1]

Famous Smoke Shop has a full box of Sharks on auction right now.

Same with mine. I have 3 B&Ms within 15 minutes of me, only one of them will hold anything for me. But that shop rarely gets any Opus or Anejo. Sad, but iv been dealing with it for years.

That is insane. My B&M charges MSRP. They don't sell singles (or boxes), but sells then in 4-packs (four different sizes, including a shark) for $38.00

My local Tinderbox (Durham, NC) has told me (depending on who you talk to):
1. they have 3-4 boxes (48, 49, 77, ?) but they are in the "office" and not out for sale yet. When they do, it will be 1 box at a time.
2. They don't have any yet (easier to say)

They told me they do not know when they will put them out. They also said, they will not take my name/number and alert me when they go on sale. So, they are suggesting I just stop back every couple says for the next month????

WTF? You know, I do like Anejos, but I hate playing F'n games. I have about 30 random Anejos left from last year, so I guess I am passing on them this year. Besides, for then price, I'd rather have a MC#2 or 2 PSD4s.

F the B&Ms that play games with their customers.

I hear ya bro......I really do. It's not really the B&M's fault that AF drop ships these on a limited basis every year. If, and I say IF AF didn't do that, there wouldn't be this game.

On the other hand, if AF didn't do that, the Anejo wouldn't be so popular.

Everybody's stuck, and frankly, it's magic in marketing by AF if you asked me. Demand is what they have created. And demand is what happens every single year.

I went one day and was told they'll be out tomorrow , when I got there at opening it was a different clerk and he told me they sold out yesterday . WTF ! This Tinderbox closed a year later , oh shucks ! :hn

[neoflex]

Must be a Tinder Box thing. The one down the road from me also keeps them stashed away and only sells them to people they are familiar with and only reveal they are there only if you ask. Last year I was able to score 2 55s. I decided I am not playing the game this year as jumping through hoops to get them gets tiresome after awhile. Plus the only vitolas I have interest in are the Sharks and 55s as I am down to one each of these. If I happen to be in the right place at the right time great, but I won't be losing sleep this year if I don't.

[maddman]

The shop i called today had them keystoned but sold out in 24hours haha

[romwarrior]

Anybody know a good retailer online that has them without the huge markup?

I don't know what you consider a huge markup, but Jack Schwartz has full boxes in stock right now of five different sizes. There is definitely a markup but not as much as you usually see.

[BarneyBandMan]

Picked some up last week at Anstead's in Fayetteville. I got an email that they would be in and picked them up that day. Always MSRP.:D

[Beagleone]

Six more boxes of Sharks just arrived. I might have to take all of them and sit them down for a while!

[barbourjay]

that is just sick, your b&m must be a large vendor.

They are for this area.

No more Anejo hunting for me. I hunted for the past 2 years, but none this year and I do not feel bad at all. :ss

[Snake Hips]

My B&M won't be getting them until after Christmas. They're pissed, haha.

[jbonnefsc]

Just picked up two Reserva xtra Viejo at my B&M in lakeland!!!

[Sancho]

One place near me got 3 boxes of anejos and the other place got none, but did recieve 6 boxes of various OpusX...Crazy shipping this feunte

[Thaplumbr]

You will have a blast. Herfing is the best.

I just picked up two reserva xtra viejo. The will go nicely next to my aging opus.

Which is the anejo shark?

They had several cases of samplers at about $189 a piece. A bit out of my price range. Anyone else seen these?
Posted via Mobile Device

[Sauer Grapes]

Shark is the 77. It's a square to round, box pressed belicoso. Not to be confused with the #55 torpedo. Shark is the only one without cedar.

if you got them at tinderbox in lakeland you probably got ripped off. those holiday samplers also MSRP for 110 and can be had if you look around a bit for 100.

if you go into tampa there are plenty of places to get stuff close to MSRP if not MSRP.

which singles? opus or anejo and which sizes?

[Sauer Grapes]

Regardless of what they were, I've seen worse. If they were Opus and some of the larger sizes, then it's not bad at all. Any smaller opus or any Anejos would be overpriced at that price, but not too offensive compared to others I've seen. I wouldn't buy at that price unless I was only getting a couple.

[jbonnefsc]

Those were Anejos...about 6 by 48.

I'm okay with it, as I've never had one and I couldn't find them any place else. Not sharks, but xtra viejos. Its cool. Tinderbox in lakeland lilkes to gouge the prices, but it could be worse.

there is another shop if you want to drive into tampa. cigar castle and they always have opus and anejos and they are a couple of bucks cheaper. they generally have all sizes in stock.

now if you want them really cheap but only two at a time go to ybor and visit tampa sweethearts. you can buy two at a time at MSRP which is less than 10$ for whatever size you want.

[blckthree]

I couldn't live near tampa sweethearts, the temptation would be too much for me! It's bad enough getting the tempting emails. I would be divorced, broke, or both!

A rumor I just heard last night was that Fuente was shipping more Anejo's to stores that are payed up to Fuente then to stores who owe them . Don't know how true this is but a store by me has gotten at least 5 boxes of Anejo's(1-#55 , 1-#46 , 1-#50 and 2-#77"s), 3 boxes-Hemingway Maduro's , 3 boxes-Opus X and 1 box of Hemingway Between the Lines . They usually don't get that many Anejo's and have never seen the BTL's there before .

They usually don't get that many Anejo's and have never seen the BTL's there before .

it depends on the volume of the dealer really. a local who charges too much got 4 boxes of anejos, btl's and a box of sig classics. the next shop got 10 boxes of anejos, btl's, woam, sigs, classics and UTS. they also got a second shipment. the messed up thing is that this is my usual shop and they were suppose to get more than a few boxes of opus. the newmans messed up and sent their opus to a different shop with the same name. the shop refused to give the opus back and now they haven't gotten any opus besides the tins.

BTW, they are doing some higher quality and rarer releases this time around because they aren't shipping as much in quantity to some places. some dealers who usually get a few boxes might not get any this year.

[auburnfan1980]

Guys, I just got back from Orlando on a business trip and had the pleasure of visiting the Corona Cigar Company. If you guys are looking for Anejo Xtra Viejo, Opus X, or even God Of Fire, they are LOADED with boxes upon boxes of each. They told me that they had stocked up on them moreso than usual because of the fear of the impending tobacco tax that would make these already expensive boxes even that much more expensive. They literally had Opus X sampler boxes stacked 5 rows wide and higher than my head (I'm 6'2") on an endcap in their store! If you're in the Orlando area, I highly suggest you stop by here. :tu

Yeah, I noticed I was paying a LOT higher than any price I had ever paid at a B&M for anything in there. I guess you're paying for atmosphere and convenience. However...their customer service is amazing, I must say.

[smitdavi]

Was just in Northern Indiana (Mishawaka) at a TinderBox, walked in looked at their selection, wondered around. Then asked if they had any Sharks, the one employee looked over to the other they kind of shared this odd look and said, "well we had a box but we sold it already" then they just kind of smiled at each other. I knew they were lying to me, it really pi$$ed me off. Don't know why you would hold back stock from paying customers :fl

[Bubba - NJ]

Typical Tinderbox BS . :tpd:

[Sauer Grapes]

The Union Cigar Company in Gettysburg apparently only got one box in. They had them when I stopped by, but the employee said the owner was keeping them for a few customers. I would have never even known they had them if the employee didn't say so. I appreciated his candidness, and told him so. I really don't mind the owner holding them for a few loyal customers. I think it's an OK thing to do, and really can't fault him for it.

I can fault him for the $19 Power Rangers though. :D

[UPHOTO]

Typical Tinderbox BS . :tpd:

My Tinder Box has been amazing!

They got in misc boxes of Opus and Anejo's and have been putting a two per customer limit on each vitola to make sure more people get a chance to buy some.

And all of them are maybe 10% over retail and that's it. Not too bad.

So, what's a good price from #49s & #50s???

Best price I've seen for either is $19, and that place was sold out.

I have read the talk here of $35 being outrageous. So, what should be a good price?

According to the site, those were MSRP as of January of 2007. Prices may have gone up.

OK, now we have the MSRP. What are prices out in the real world? What should I expect for a good price. I was doing some more looking and I found numerous sticks over $25 each.

Some places will charge MSRP, while other place charge way more. Unfortunately being limited to a couple of shipments each year, places that sell at MSRP tend to sell out quickly. I personally would never pay $25 for an anejo. If you are buying in WI, then it prices should range from around $9ish up to $13ish, plus sales tax.

You can call or email Tampa Sweethearts (http://tampasweetheart.com/) and ask them to email you their rare singles list. They usually have several sizes of anejo (and maduro hemmingway, tubed opus, etc) at MSRP, but you have to make a qualifying purchase of $25 from their boxes and bundles, and there is a limit of two of each size.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated.

I have a couple that have been gifted to me, I have yet to smoke them. I was waiting for an appropriate special occasion.

[8lug]

I pickup up a box of 46's and a box of 49's at MSRP. they still have a good supply of anejo's but sad to say they didn't have any sharks. Maybe next year...

[Bubba - NJ]

I payed $13.25 each for the 5 Sharks I bought in NJ . I can get them cheaper at Holt's but have to pay parking and a train ride so it pretty much evens out , also Holt's usually has a limit of 2 but this year it was 3 when I was there so it would take repeated trips to aquire any quantity of Anejos . My local B & M lets you buy all you want on everything . Never a limit and always honest about what is in stock . :ss

[troutbreath]

The place that hooked me up earlier in the day let me buy some more as they were closing tonight. Very nice. 8 Opus X and 10 Anejo's, along with 2 "Between the Lines." I should be done shopping for a while . . .







Who am I kidding?

[neoflex]

I can fault him for the $19 Power Rangers though. :D

Same place I was able to grab Anejos from today had Power Rangers for $10.50 a stick which is still not msrp but at least they aren't bending people over the counter. Geeze, that's bad. Glad I have a handful along with a handful of Super Belis otherwise I would have spent a ton of money today. They had a bunch of sizes of Opus and also had what looked like Double Coronas in coffins for $25 a pop. They also had the 2008 Holiday Samplers too. If it weren't for Christmas, today could have been very ugly.

[Stick]

A B&M near me has a box of DCs, no coffins. Likely the "A" (9 ¼" x 47) which comes in an individual coffin, and has an MSRP of $25.

In Cape Coral, where my parents live, about 2 hours south of Tampa. They still have 1/2 a box, as i bought all i could afford :/

Still, they are beautiful. I asked they guy what gives, and he said that is what he sold them for. They were the same price as much of his other Fuente stuff, but he knew what he had. He knew they only came once a year...

I'm totally stocked up (IE, Out of money), but i just heard a rumor that there is an anejo boxed set, featuring a cutter, 4 cigars, and some other stuff for $42.00 at the Tobacco Depot in Plant City, Florida. One of my friends frequents there. Might be worth looking into if you live in the area...

According to the site, those were MSRP as of January of 2007. Prices may have gone up.

OK, now we have the MSRP. What are prices out in the real world? What should I expect for a good price. I was doing some more looking and I found numerous sticks over $25 each.

MSRP hasn't gone up since then. Fuente doesn't raise prices too often. When they raised them in 2007, it was the first time in several years.

Dave are you still hunting for Anejos? I gave up the search because I ran out of room :(

Not really. A BOTL here took care of me on 50's. I was able to get a box of 46's. I'm completely out of room now though.

You poor thing!

I've been using what used to be my mostly empty quarantine desktop as overflow and it'll be full when my 50's come in the mail in a week.5 or so. I refuse to go beyond the vinotemp for now. I did play a mad game of tetris yesterday.

I bought from TS, and got a few limit two here and there (well, I got them once and so did my wife since it's by her work). Then I talked my way into buying a few at the place that was only selling to regulars because I was there again this week. It ends up, without really trying too hard, I probably bought half of what I bought last year, which is still more than I intended.
