Anyone interested in buying Opus X A 's w/Coffin?

[CigarSmoker1]

I stumbled upon a local shop, considering mostly all of their inventory is Arturo Fuente, they are selling these at a cheaper price. I know these are hard to find so I just wanted to let anyone here know that they are available ~$60

I am also looking for Padron 80th Anniversary Maduros if you have extras.

Thanks

Thanks for the offer, but $60 is not cheap for Opus A's...

Stick around, if you think $60 is reasonable for an Opus A.

What do you think is reasonable?

Are we making bids?!?

After doing some internet research it seems as though my price is looking pretty good.

And there is your mistake. Well, one of 'em anyway.

Interesting idea, George, but a Monte 'A' would cost me significantly less than CigSmoker1's Opus' would. Of course, which of the two is preferable is up to an individual's taste - myself, I like Padron maduro's in the 'A' size.

Is MAP pricing on cigars strictly enforced?

[CoventryCat86]

Last time I bought them, I paid $30.00 each so you're asking way too much even if you've convinced yourself otherwise.

Is MAP pricing on cigars strictly enforced?

Yes and no...

I ran into this in Salt Lake City, UT on a visit to a tobacco shop. They were charging ungodly prices on Anejo's. The store clerk suggested the Anejo was the "Cadillac" of cigars and commanded such a high price. I walked out...

According to Fuente - it is strictly enforced at a retailer that is shipped Opus X and Anejo cigars. So - if the dealer jacks the prices through the roof, if Fuente finds out they will reduce or eliminate shipments of Opus' to them again and it will seriously jeopardize their receiving other Fuente product (other than Curly Heads or Montessino). However - if they do not receive Opus and purchase from an "alternate" source (other than Fuente), the dealer would be permitted to charge more. Fuente has little control in that case.

I would suggest to you that if your retailer is a Fuente shop, they've been shipped those Opus A's at retail by Fuente and they're charging $60 each without basis for the pricing (e.g. taxes included) - Fuente would take a very dim view. You may want to a gentle conversation with your shop owner and ask if they receive Opus from Fuente. You might also want to have their take on the Fuente "MAP pricing" as well. It might just lead to a considerable discount.

BTW - $30-35 is what retail price should be on a Opus X "A" size.

Bingo....that's the question!!

Yeah I didn't pay $60.00. I paid retail.
I posted this forum to get a taste of what others have paid, and also to see if anyone wanted them for cheaper, but apparently everyone here is hooked up

Thanks though. I was suggesting do some retailers sell lower than MAP. So if "X Manufacturer" sells to "Y Store Owner" for $5/Cigar, but they retail for $15/cigar...can Y sell them for $12?

For example, if you become a distributor of Sony TVs you can't sell the TV less than "X" amount of dollars, or Sony will find you and you.

If that makes sense.

So basically you came here looking for some one that didn't know any better and sell them a $30 cigar for $60.

Everyone had been to kind to you but ill say what needs to be said. FUCK YOU DICK WAD

Yawn.

CigarSmoker1 ... Where do I begin? You joined this forum and then just pooped out about four shit posts about shit you could have searched on here, or even googled. I'm not saying I'm opposed to new members joining this forum, because I too am new here, but don't be an idiotic right out of the gate. It may be too late, but might I recommend that you read and look around before you decide to keep making threads? If you had, you may have noticed that this board doesn't hate on new members who actually post introductions and don't stick their foot in their mouth.

My nooby two cents.

I'm still waiting for you to try to sell a cigar for twice what you paid for it before I react to your newbieness. So far your doing okay.

I'm still new enough, I'll give it a shot. Anyone interested in a 5 Vegas Classic Torpedo? My local shop has a few @ $74 each. Just let me know. Shipping will be "free".

Straight up trade? With mine being $74 you would be the winner in this deal. I am for it.

They do have Vegas in them...they must be worth more than retail, approximately $50.

Or I might keep the A, bury it, then wait a year for my cigar tree to grow.
