    I have heard the name Forbidden X before but have never lookied deeply into it. I always thought it was just a reference to the X that is so commonly listed with the opus products.
    You're right in the backyard of the place you probably could get one, if you wanted to... Tampa Sweethearts is a Fuente owned store...

    The Forbidden X's are about $25 each, if you can find them. I wasn't blown away when I smoked it the first time. Got a couple of others I'm saving for a while before I smoke 'em...

    But - as Kevin suggests - that's a slippery slope you're headed towards...

    It's one of those things where I just have to see for myself and form my own opinion about a cigar.

    Recently I finally found a place that carries Davidoff and Zino in their walk in humi. So I will finally be trying those...quite overpriced but I will still try it.

    It is NOT a Fuente owned store in the sense that it is not in anyway owened by the Fuente & Newman Cigar Co. It is owned by a member of the family.

    You can try Tampa Sweethearts but so far nobody I know has purchased any there.

    Yup. They are in my backyard but it does not make it any easier.

    Personally I am not a big fan of Tampa Sweetheart. I like to go in and talk, walk around and look at all the product. There you can only walk into a small room, order what you want from a window and leave. A sad experience.

    However I KNOW they will have the 858 sungrown in soon. I will be hitting those with a fierce grip. They will not sell a box though. :(

    ...all I know - if you're looking for hard to find Fuente product USUALLY (not always) they have it before others do... And I think it has something to do about being owned by a member of the family...
