Thread: Anyone interested in buying Opus X A 's w/Coffin?

  1. Default Anyone interested in buying Opus X A 's w/Coffin?

    I stumbled upon a local shop, considering mostly all of their inventory is Arturo Fuente, they are selling these at a cheaper price. I know these are hard to find so I just wanted to let anyone here know that they are available ~$60

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

    Thanks

    Thanks for the offer, but $60 is not cheap for Opus A's...

    Stick around, if you think $60 is reasonable for an Opus A.

    I'm not aware of any community that bares all to persons that walk first step foot through their portal, but I have the utmost confidence if you continue to contribute positively to this community - you, too, will know the "secrets".

    My daddy always told me, "Son - nothing in life is free!". Took me a few years to catch on - but the bulb finally lit up.

    Yeah - $60 in Canada for an Opus X "A" would be a heckuva bargain - wouldn't it.

    Perhaps you can convince #1CigarSmoker that he should ship you a few!

    Interesting idea, George, but a Monte 'A' would cost me significantly less than CigSmoker1's Opus' would. Of course, which of the two is preferable is up to an individual's taste - myself, I like Padron maduro's in the 'A' size.

    Is MAP pricing on cigars strictly enforced?

    Last time I bought them, I paid $30.00 each so you're asking way too much even if you've convinced yourself otherwise.

    Yes and no...

    I ran into this in Salt Lake City, UT on a visit to a tobacco shop. They were charging ungodly prices on Anejo's. The store clerk suggested the Anejo was the "Cadillac" of cigars and commanded such a high price. I walked out...

    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.
