Journey to Chateau de la Fuente?

I jsut got an email today from a local B&M about a Bolivar event on the 19th. I went to their "specials and events page" and scrolled down to see this:

Prometheus presents...
Journey to Chateau de la Fuente
Orginal Music by Arturo Sandoval with:
Three Rare Fuente Fuente OpusX......$149.95

It doesn't say what cigars they are but there is a picture.

Here is a link tot he page itself-third thing down

As some of you may know I was looking for something nice to smoke for my graduation in may. Would this be worth picking up, or is it more of a collectors thing? Also, Should I make the trip to the Bolivar event? I have never smoked any of their sticks before so I have no clue as to their taste.

NO - this is not worth picking up.

and

NO - the new boli's = :smiley11:

There are still opus out there. I was at a shop today with a few, some power rangers and a couple larger ones. They also had a couple of collector cases. These were opus 3 packs, one was a robusto and 2 were perfection. It is a metal package, looks like a leather 3 finger but metal, with 3 cigars. The robusto was 45 and the perfection was 49.

loads less than what your looking at.

That is what I figured. however I have a feeling finding any top shelf smokes near here will be difficult.

I haven't been to the store in question yet, as there are 2 closer, so I don't know what they have there. Perhaps I should go on the Bolivar day anyways to check it out and pick up a free smoke or two while I'm at it. The worse that will happen is I won't like them.

when do you graduate?

I might be at my firms other office next week, the store in question is just down the street. I can check on the opus.

They also had a few anejo 46's.

I don't graduate until the first week or two of May, I am just starting to look for something now to put away for a few months.

Its not that far of a trip for me really, there are just two other shops closer, which have a lot of the smokes I have been smoking while bowling and such, I just haven't gotten there yet. If you stop in there that would be great, if you weren't planning on it don't worry about it, i'm sure I'll get there sometime in the near future. Thank you for the offer, whhether you go or not.

a graduation day smoke is an interesting idea.... i hadn't thought of it at all really, maybe i should begin a hunt looking for something good to smoke

you guys graduate pretty late, we graduate like 2 weeks into april :smiley2:

keep us posted on what ur special smoke is gonna be, i'll probly start looking as well

thanks for the idea

My oldest son doesn't graduate from H.S. until the end of May. You're pretty fortunate to get out school so early.

I think he's graduating from college. Which school are you at near Chi-town?

I'm with Tyler (NHcigar) on this. That might be a nice pick up to hold on to for years, but even so, that's 50 bucks a cigar. You could get a box of nice ISOMs for that much. Also, Tyler is right, the new Bolivars suck diddly-uck!!!! I was such a fan too until last year's change :smiley6:

No, his introduction post says he just turned 18 last December, so I'm thinking it's high school....

Ya, we've had a load of 18ers come in this past few months...can hardly keep em straight.:smiley29:

SideWinder is correct. Its high school.

I found some God of Fire singles and such online, but I never really see much about them. Are they worth their cost?

I didn't graduate HS till 2nd week in June. What kind of program do they run these days?

If you think getting out that early is bad, you should see my class lineup.
We are on a block schedule, so there are four 75 minute periods a day and then we have "A" and "B" days to get our 8 classes in.
We are also on a split schedule, meaning juniors and seniors go in at 7 and get out at 12:21. And freshman and Soph. go in at 9:45 and go until 3:45ish

My "A" day
Physics (the only text book I have)
Web Design 2
Computer Game design-Get out at 11:02

My "B" day
I go in at 9:45 for Leisure Lifetime Activities and leave at 11:02.
We paly things like Bags, Bocce Ball, and go Bowling.

Safe to say I am passing this semester.:smiley36:

That's not school. That's fucking camp.


Except maybe for physics - assuming it's a real physics course and not some applied non-sense where your class project is to launch an egg over the goal posts in a coffee can with padding and see if it survives.

:smiley23:

Nope, we dropped it from the ceiling in something we made from three sheets of papaer:smiley20: :smiley36:

Do they not have any good electives at your school? As for me, I get Statistics, World Conflicts - World War II, Practical Law, AP Government, Advanced Debate, and Physics. I haven't had the block schedule sinceI lived in Japan.
It seems most schools are graduating their seniors a little earlier (Mid May-ish) these days. Somehow it gets them used to the college schedule?
My graduation cigar is going to be covered by my cousin. He claims it is going to be something amazing. I've got my fingers crossed.
If you are still having an aneurysm trying to find the perfect cigar, try having a few. One before graduation, one right after, and one later that night. A day full of cigars is just as good a way to celebrate is it not?

Hah. Our school has some decent electives, I just elected not to take them. I don't even need the credits to graduate other than gym, which I could have doubled up on last semester and then graduated at winter break.

Damn, good catch sidewinder, sorry, just didn't know so many youths (pronounced yutes of course) had joined recently. And just for clarification, a decent box of ISOMs could be had for the total price, not the price per cigar. Only ISOMs available for 50 bucks a box are cigarillos, then you're just paying for a high end cigarette (not worth it).

I always say with cigars, if you get the chance, smoke the crap out of it. You never know when you will get the chance again.:smiley27:
