I know how I feel about gougers. Uh-uh.
I'll kick the tires on the deal and let you know.... :smiley2:
Hmmmm.... :smiley13:
Nah - I'll pass!!! :smiley40:
Come on guys...Those are blowout prices. :smiley40:
You guys know I love Reserva D'Chateaus and I'm running a little low so this post caught my eye!
So I mosey on over to this a$$hat's site only to find he's asking $26.95 each which is more than double full retail!:smiley3:
I can guarantee you this bag of shit doesn't even have a Fuente account. He's nothing but a scam artist, a liar and a dirtbag.
Then I go back to his half-assed site to check on the price of some Padrons and his site is down.:smiley36: What a Mickey Mouse operation.....:smiley29:
Get out of here you piece of $hit.:smiley7:
Most places will sell you a box of Padron 1926 #2 maduros for around $340.00.
Guess what asshat cigars direct charges?
$449.95
What an absolute POS this thief is.:smiley29:
Well I guess I shouldn't be so hard on him, his mark up on Opus X is 100% but on the 1926s it's only 45%.:smiley36:
If this guy had a Fuente account they would pull it...They don't allow gouging of their products.Quote:

I never pay above MSRP... I don't know why you can't find them at the price. :smiley41:Quote:

Don't feed the gougers - it only encourages thsm... :smiley2:
Padron Anniversary (1964) and Padron 1926 are EASY to find for below full retail, try google. Serious Cigars has the 1926 maduros in stock for very fair prices. C'MON MAN, LOOK AROUND!:smiley36:Quote:

There's also Gabriel Miranda in Miami who sells Padron 1926s and 1964s for very fair prices. His screen name is gmiranda33 over on CP. Here's a post where he talks about his new store:
Havana Humidor of Pinecrest
12749 South Dixie Highway
Pinecrest, FL 33156
305-278-2804
www.havanahumidorcigars.com
He used to sell the fancy Padrons but I haven't talked to him in a while.
As far as Opus X, etc., my local shop has them for very close to regular ole MSRP but they have to add on sales tax. No big deal, I don't mind supporting my local shop at all.
Like George said, don't feed the gougers and slimeballs like this cigars direct a$$hat.
I've actually found Padron Anni's for $10/stick, so I'm not sure why I put that in my last comment. Maybe the long day at work.
I'm more interested in finding Opus X's for cheaper then the insane prices I've seen. I've done my searches and haven't found Opus X's for under $17 bucks a stick(for smaller sizes).
I've never bought any Padron Anniversary boxes, I only buy the 1926s.Quote:

I honestly have given away more Opus than I've smoked. Not that I don't like them, they just do not have the "WOW!" factor other cigars do...
I agree. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I finally traded away all that I had (except for the ones included in the 2006 & 2007 Christmas collections.) I used to be a fan of AF's but I guess tastes change. Maybe it's time for another trade.Quote:

Don't get me wrong - they are a consistently good cigar. One of my favorites is the Petit Lancero. But there are others that (to me, anyway) equal or surpass Opus X in enjoyment.Quote:

The only Opus I'll smoke are the PL and the Power Ranger...I'd rather have a Padron 64 or 26.
Opus ain't the "holy grail" of cigars. Don't buy into the Fuente hype.
I have to agree with Sarge. Just like any other product, marketing is the game.
I agree as well, except I like the PL, #4 and #5's and will pick them up when I find them for MSRP but don't go out of my way to hunt them down.Quote:

I agree with most here. The padron '26's and '64's are smokes I prefer over the opus. My top 3 preferred cigars still include an AF though.
Why has the admin of this site allowed this guy to remain on this site? If this is the kind of member that is allowed to post on this site,I don't want to be associated.Please be good enough to ask this guy to leave,and not return......
As far as we know you're no different than "he" is. How about posting an introduction thread?Quote:
