$30/stick for an Opus X is way over MSRP for all the regular production vitolas, more than double the MSRP in some cases. Special vitolas like the BBMF, Chili Pepper, Scorpion, etc... would be close to $30 or more a stick at MSRP.
They all can be found at MSRP if you look hard enough and really aren't that hard to get once you develop some relationships with B&Ms that carry them at MSRP.
Do you know what vitola it was that you smoked?
The Anejo is the other cigar you are referring to. Simply search on "Fuente Anejo". There is some debate and conflicting stories if the cigar is actually the exact same filler and binder blend as the Opus or just similar, regardless, the profile & flavor is totally different than an Opus X due to the Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper (and whatever else might possibly be different). MSRP is a bit lower on the Anejos.
Both the Opus X and the Anejo cigars are typically released 2-3 times a year.
And, yeah, call Tampa Sweethearts. You could also try Mark at
Tower Pipe and Cigar last time I was in there, he had a few boxes left and he sells at MSRP.
