Ouch! Not sure where you gents are getting your OpusX's, but HughJordan is right - MSRP is around $10 a stick -- and you ought to be able to find them somewhere in that range. Double or triple that price and you're definitely having your handed to you. Your and your and your , too.

I recently bought a couple at a nearby smoke shop (Nashville, TN ... place called UpTown's in Green Hills, if anyone's local) and paid $11.00 each.

Just one catch: many shop owners will only let you buy a limited supply (unless you're really buddies or something). They only let me buy two ... although I could have gone back and bought two the next day.

And yeah, let 'em sit. Mine have been buried at the bottom of the humi for a few months already. Until I find a steady supply, they're gonna stay there, too.
