    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.

    It has much more to do with who you are, rather than what you know.


    Patience, grasshopper. Good things come to those who wait!


    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.

    I'm still a very young smoker. I have smoked sticks that I have enjoyed more then the 2 Opus X's that I have smoked(still one more in waiting). I'm just still in the try anything stage and I would like to try some different sizes of these. Maybe it's only my naive impressions that Opus's are super elite.

    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.

    I still wouldn't balk at someone giving me one, or choosing one to smoke when I want to enjoy something nice. I guess what's nice is I've had experiences with quite a few cigars now, and have options beyond an Opus X.

    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.
