How Ridiculous Will This CBid Go?

Geez, look at how much the Opus XXX Power Ranger is going for...

No wonder internet gougers exist! I can't believe people are willing to pay over 3X MSRP for this cigar...

Even with the huge Canadian taxes I can still get those for about a third of the price!

I bought 3 of these guys last night for $10.50 a pop. First time the local shop got any in. I'm thinking about going back and buying some more.

Check there for 5ers of Anejos - also check for the Fuente holiday sampler . To bad you can't sell cigars on Ebay . You can get some good deals there as long as what you're looking for isn't all the rage currently . :smiley37:

Oh yeah Bubba, their Añejo auctions go out of control:smiley29: :smiley3:

The cigars almost always wind up going for THREE TIMES MSRP:smiley3:

If you hang around cigar boards long enough making friends and contacts, you should never have to pay insane prices for Opus X, Añejos, etc.....

Damn where do you shop? I might save enough to be worth the airfare. I drove up to Calgary (better prices than my hick-ass city) and saw some in a little shop in the mall for like $51. I figured they were gouger bastards so I went to Sheffield & Sons and they were like $49. So I gave up.

A local shop had two boxes on sale for $18 Can per stick! Not really thinking I just bought 5 of em'. After seeing this outrageous post, I went back last night and they were all gone. But, I did pick up a few Punch cigars for $4 each and a few Guantenamera Cristales Tubos for $5. They also had a few RYG Cedros de Luxe #2's for $10, So I bought what they had left.

I think they make most of their money on the regular priced cigars though. $38 for a Montecristo #3! It would be cheaper to fly to Cuba!

You may not know this, but how much is a Montecristo #1 where you live? I was just wondering because they are crazy expensive here.

Good question, I've never seen one in a shop in the USA. I think they're illegal here but I'm not sure......

I think you can get the Dominican version in the US, but I have never tried a Dominican Montecristo. While I hear good things about them, since there is no embargo here in Canada most shops just stock the Cuban version. Also, since CC has not seen any of them, I am guessing they are either not popular or unavaliable in the US.

A Montecristo #1 can cost upwards of $70 Cad per stick here. I have heard that there are some stores in Canada which sell for less, but I have never seen any.

Has anyone ever tried the Dominican Montecristo #1?

Dominican Regular line Monte's are overpriced flavorless chump sticks smoked by posers who drive mid size 6 cylinder type SUV's and wear wimmens panties. If one of these girly men ever smoked a Joya de Nicargua 1970 surely they would vomit and pass out. 'nuff said

Hmmmmm, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Kevin doesn't like Dominican Montecristo's.......

You asked about Cuban Montecristo #1s, CC gives you an answer then you make it look like you're talking about Dominican ones?

What gives?

I've tried the Dominican Montecristo #1s and they suck.:smiley21:

I was actually originally interested in the Cuban version. Since I am Canadian, they are perfectly legit here. I forgot that you cant get them in the US. After reading CC's post I did some searching and realized that you can get Dominican Montecristo's, but I have never seen any. I figured some of the American's would have tried them.

Thanks for the reviews, I will definitly stay away from em!
