What would you recommend for me?

If you are looking for variety without feeling buyer's remorse in the end, try the Newbie Sampler thread in the exchange section. Participating members should be able to give you a nice sampler you may not normally get to try from your local B&M (especially if they are charging you $45 for that Opus).

If you are just starting out in the cigar hobby, you may want to hold off in making big purchases like that. Your pallate might not enjoy a $45 cigar compared to a nice $7 cigar. It it just sucks when you spend all that dough on a single cigar, and then wished you had bought that box of "go-to smokes" instead.

PS - You may want to consider looking into another B&M or start ordering cigars online.

Thanks for the advice guys! All his other prices were pretty much right there. Padron Anniversary-$18, Ashton 50-around $10, CAO Brazilia $8, Ashton ESG 21-$19

Do these seem super high? I think he is just trying to play on my lack of knowledge and the thrill of the chase with the Opus.

Which padron is that? If it's the 40th anniv. then that's a deal.

Otherwise the prices seem with in a buck or two.

the 1964 anniversary

are there other anniversary editions?

the msrp is $18

I don't know. there is the 40th - usually 25 bucks a stick. I thought that and the 64 were anniv. but I don't know. Its hard to figure seeing most on line vendors screw it up anyway and I hardly ever smoke them..



Bill - help me out here.

I went to the site and saw the two different anniversaries your talking about. I have only had the 1964 anniversary edition.

Only Opus that should even be close to that price and it would still be high is the Opus X A in a coffin. The other sticks that come to that price range is the Forbidden X Series Robusto which is MRSP at $150 for 4 sticks and the Opus X Forbidden X Lanceros at the same price of $150. Of course you have the CFCF Fun box of 22 sticks which is a MSRP of $750. Those are the only Opus X that would be close to $45 a stick.

Basically what I am saying is that whoever is selling the Opus X at $45 a pop is trying to screw you. As the normal line of Opus X at MSRP is between the price range of $8 to $15 with the exception being the A at $25. Just do a ISO post if you are wanting to try an Opus X as they come out 4 times a year and the new shipment should be out pretty soon.
