Where to buy Opus X
 
Hey, it's been about a year since I posted but I have really gotten into cigars since than. I was wondering if anyone had a reliable website to order from. Thank for your time.

Cheers

Anthony

Though there may be better prices online, I have not seen them... I keep wanting to pull the trigger on a few 5ers, but seems my cigar funds always find somewhere else to land....

Directly from Fuente, http://www.tampasweetheart.com/

Just email or call for their list of OpusX and Anejo's.

There is a place in Countryside IL called Casa De Monte Cristo that is a great place to buy Opus X from...one of the best stores I've been to for anything.

Wow, thanks a lot everyone for the quick responses.

Just about every B&M here in Columbus has Opus all year round. Some shops have Anejo's most of the time too.....let me know if you're looking for anything in particular....

They have lots in stock, but not exactly great deals.

Nice shop though.

I love that store! I try to get there every time I am in Chicagoland. They were sitting on something like 40 boxes of the Opus Lost Cities series when I was there last year. They do have a large selection of cigars, but with the HTF stuff, they will limit you to 2 sticks per size.

Re: Where to buy Opus X
 
Fuentes should be sending out this season first allotment of Opus in the next few weeks along with the Anejos. There usually is a second round released in December for the holidays.

Also, I am thinking of picking up an Opus X single next time I am in my B & M, what's a price I should avoid going over for one, and how long should I let it rest in my humidor before breaking it out?

For rest it's 50/50. Some people like them fresh while the other half like them with age. If you enjoy a more full bodied smoke I would say burn in now.

Cant go wrong with the rule of 3's.

Re: Where to buy Opus X
 
Pay what you're comfortable paying for the cigar you want to buy, and smoke it fresh if you want, letting a cigar sit for 6 months is not aging it. If you have the patience to let it sit for three years, yeah, then the age will change the cigar, months will not.

When you smoke one you will want another, then after that you will have one more.

What a tease! Great price on the Opus's but out of stock. Is there a notification list that I can get on when more come in?

I just found out today that my wife bought me a 3 pack of Opus X for Christmas. She ordered them from www.pipesandcigars.com. They have a few sizes of singles in stock and they have 3 different sizes of the 3 pack gift tins in stock.

Cigars international just got some in. Inside front page of their latest catalog. Almost 300 for a box of 10

Two resources I have used and have been very happy with. I have a couple boxes of Opus that have been aged well over a year, and they are still not ready. Very green!

Wow, those are a little spendy (but not bad as Opus pricing goes).....pays to do a little research, there are cheaper options out there! :tu

Call Holts in Philly.
Not sure if they have them online, but
they do have them in stock, usually.

Holts is usually right at msrp for everything.

No, I can barely afford a box of Lot 23's, let alone a $1200 box of Opus X's.

Chainsaw13 12-15-2011 07:19 PM

Re: Where to buy Opus X
 
I meant I should sell the box of Opus I just bought if I could get that much for them. Nice roi. :r

To be honest I was just happy to find a few sticks for under $20 each and in stock. Of course as I was buying these, a couple of other sites were posted that had some in stock for a couple of dollars less per stick. I'll save those for next time. Win some, lose some.

I would be worried about the authenticity of bundled Opus Xs.

Same here. Plus the humi doesn't look to be anything special.

I am guessing the guy is full of chit, selling the humi at $50. ;)

Are there any cigars that rival the Opus X in value, rarity, price?

Value is subjective. Rarity and price, absolutely.

Like what? I've never heard of people hunting and tracking any type of cigars like they do the OpusX.

When it's release time, you will see dozens of threads of BOTLs scrambling to buy them.


I am not one of them.
