I also am interested in buy a La cuba de roma Mia Amor and I fI like the box price did not seem to bad. I also am think that I will try my first opus x from them. If i like there box price seems ok.
By all means try as many different sticks as you can, but you would do better to shop around on the high end stuff. Their pricing on Opus seems very high:

Opus xXx single for $23

Old Virgina Tobacco Company (www.ovtc.com) sells this stick for < $12

You could also call http://www.tampasweetheart.com/ for opus prices

It looked like the boxes were at a decent price. As far as the single go they do seem a light high.

How can you possibly think these prices are good?!? I realize taxes can be bad in certain states (I live in NY most of the year so I should know) and a lot of shops raise prices quite a bit specifically on opus but these prices are insane!

Living in CA cigars are high.

Never trying and opus or really looking at them until reading the review here and on line I would say that its was an ok price.

I was in VA D.C. and stopped by a shop and found prices to be about half of what I would pay here in Cali. i talked to the guy to see if he would ship out to me and he said he would.

At the same time I also want to support a local shop that has some good stuff, great knowledge, treats people well and has always provided the wife with some good picks to bring home to me as a surprise.

so I will do some more looking for better deals, but I don't want to worry about receiving old cigars that are dry.
