    According to Fuente - it is strictly enforced at a retailer that is shipped Opus X and Anejo cigars. So - if the dealer jacks the prices through the roof, if Fuente finds out they will reduce or eliminate shipments of Opus' to them again and it will seriously jeopardize their receiving other Fuente product (other than Curly Heads or Montessino). However - if they do not receive Opus and purchase from an "alternate" source (other than Fuente), the dealer would be permitted to charge more. Fuente has little control in that case.

    I would suggest to you that if your retailer is a Fuente shop, they've been shipped those Opus A's at retail by Fuente and they're charging $60 each without basis for the pricing (e.g. taxes included) - Fuente would take a very dim view. You may want to a gentle conversation with your shop owner and ask if they receive Opus from Fuente. You might also want to have their take on the Fuente "MAP pricing" as well. It might just lead to a considerable discount.

    BTW - $30-35 is what retail price should be on a Opus X "A" size.
    Bingo....that's the question!!

    Yeah I didn't pay $60.00. I paid retail.
    I posted this forum to get a taste of what others have paid, and also to see if anyone wanted them for cheaper, but apparently everyone here is hooked up

    Thanks though. I was suggesting do some retailers sell lower than MAP. So if "X Manufacturer" sells to "Y Store Owner" for $5/Cigar, but they retail for $15/cigar...can Y sell them for $12?

    For example, if you become a distributor of Sony TVs you can't sell the TV less than "X" amount of dollars, or Sony will find you and you.

    If that makes sense.

    I would have made $7 after shipping them for free. So I came here to offer what I thought was a more expensive cigar than $35.00. After finding out they were only that much, I have no intentions of selling them.
    You should also remain professional in your posts...lol

    I am also looking for Padron 80th Anniversary Maduros if you have extras.

    Thanks

    Maybe if you could read, you would understand that previous to these responses, I looked online to compare prices and saw what I know now as inflated pricing. So to be honest I thought I would be making these cigars available cheaper than advertised.
    Anyway, do you have anything better to do than troll a Cigar forum? And by the look of your 1st grade English, you out to be smoking Swisher's at your local gas station.

    Well now...

    I guess we learned something about you - and you learned something about this community. See? There IS value in participating.

    I should caution you, though (as you might have surmised) - most folks on this (and other cigars boards, for that matter) don't necessarily care too much for "gouging". As a matter of fact - that's one thing that will get you on the outside of the circle REAL quick...

    Had you perhaps considered profiting on this cigars through eBay instead?

    I'm learning. If a pupil is considered a troll, then this is not a community of willing educators.

    Lol apparently these cigars aren't so rare, because I would gladly pay a premium for an item in high demand.

    Anyway, you won't be hearing about any cigars for sale by this guy, nor will I use polls at the top of my thread, which surprisingly aggravates people for some reason.

    The poll? I get it - you did not know the difference. You were given information - which apparently rubbed you the wrong way. But learning always starts with a willing pupil. Sometimes the lessons are not as obvious, so you have to pay attention grasshopper.

    Interesting newbie. opasex A's are not rare where I live. Now if you have some Dantes or brown/green banded Fuentes then I will gladly pay a premium for those. Cigars currently being produced are not rare or hard to find in spite of what fucktards like Pepin or rocky patel think. 3 of the best cigar brands on the planet are easy to find,Fuente Padron ,Joya de Nicaragua

    Thanks for the info. Now I know I was corrected for using the words "Internet research" on this particular thread, but why do they say here "Most Expensive Cigars" that the Opus X A is one of the most expensive cigars?

    Is it because they're

    Or is it because people like me believe it just because it has a professional looking website.

    Or both.

    Right on. Still, you nailed it with your initial reaction, IMO.
