I would like to find a few Opus X cigars I dont want to pay much over the retail price for them I have found some on the net but they are crazy priced I dont mind paying shipping charges I can send Money order or through P P I hope someone can help me with this
I'm all out of Opus and so is the local B&M I go to. The only "online" retailer that I've seen close to MSRP is OVTC. http://www.ovtc.com/arturofuenteopus...us%20X%20Cigar
Damn, those are better prices then my local B&M... by a dollar or 2 per stick! (they only ever have 2 or 3 sizes at a time when they get them in, too).Quote:

Guys Im still looking if anyone knows of anymore I just bought the last 4 that OVT had they were the Opus X Perfection X they were 12.95 a stick which is a good price from what Ive been told please let me know i anyone knows of anymore
the price Mark (assuming that's who you spoke to) is the best price you'll find. He's a stand up guy.Quote:

and the more I think about it, you're starting to sound like a desperate noob asking us to share our valuables - not just our sticks - but the sources of the sticks - especially the rarer ones. I don't think we mind necessarily, but you've got to realize and be happy with what you've already gotten - not asking for more when your initial post was for "a few Opus X cigars." By my reasoning - 2 is a couple, 3-4 is a few, and 5 is a pack or a bundle.
All done.

come to boards to buy low and sell high on various ebay ect ect auctions. As usual I have Opus,Anejo, AF13's, 858 SG, 858 Rosado, Hemingway Sungrown ect ect ad nauseum but don't sell them to people unless I have traded with them and they have a little 'cred ,not windbag handjob traders comments but real 'cred. Enjoy the 4 you got .

Guys you will never see me trying to sell these or any other cigars Im not into buying low and selling high at all I am trying to get some good cigars together thats all I mean no disrespect to anyone I am having my Parents 50th anniversary party and am trying to have some Fine cigars to share with some of the Family again not trying to sell or make a profit on these at all and I appreciate everyones advice
You should try and get some 1964 Padrons for them then,if they are not used to smoking cigars the Opus will make them puke,seriously they are full bodied and flavored in my opinion. You want to have Fuentes at the shindig ? Get a box of 858 maruros and they will enjoy those I promise
Never smoked an Opus before and am no expert, but I have heard they need at least a years worth of sitting in the humidor before they're any good...
Ok I appreciate the Advice Kevin I was also thinking of some AF Hemingways I am not trying to hord anything at all I just wanted some fine cigars this is a once in a lifetime affair I am thinking of getting off this forum all together though it seems everytime I post I get a bunch of people using fowl language and that really dosent impress me a bit
To clarify a couple things -
The only word used was "shit" and it wasn't being directed at you personally, but used as a noun to reference an act. The other time was a joke. Grow some skin. We're not the polo club.Quote:

So if we seem reticent, it's to protect us. With reference to the occasion, unless they are cigar aficionados, they won't know what an Opus is - I'd stick with some of the more prominent names such as Fuente (Chateau or Hemingway), Montecristo, or the like. And yeah, Opus is a strong stick - I'd go with a Monte White - great label, smooth cigar, and full smoke.Quote:

Cheers and congrats on your folks' anni.
Thanks My friend and again I hope I can be helpful to some of you unfourtunately I live in a small rural county where the best cigars on the market are Garcia Vegas I have to do mail order so I am not familiar with alot of brands and style I really enjoyed the opus X that I got from HEX I will order a Box of the AF hemingways tommorow
THanks & GOD BLESS

Be thankful you were able to get four for that price. That's allready more than I've ever smoked. Unless your family smokes cigars I wouldn't waste an Opus on them. While it is a very nice jesture, they probably won't truly enjoy it like someone who regularly smokes cigars would. Take Kevin7's advise and buy some lower end Fuente stuff that they will still be able to enjoy. Even the Hemingways might be a little much for a first time smoker. I personaly would go with Mauied's advice and get some of the Montecristo White label.
Fuentes are CRAZY expensive here in Canada...50cdn for a Reserva is the cheapest I have seen them here:smiley19:Quote:
