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).

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.
