    Cool Big Cajones Tonight - Purchased an Opus X

    What's up guys,

    Thought I'd stir up a little conversation tonight (and really show my newbieness). I went ahead and tried my first auction today and decided to grow some cajones and bid on a SINGLE OPUS X (I'm going to hell for reading all these helpful posts on here that have made me curious about certain cigars).

    Just checked my e-mail and it looks like I won. After shipping, it's going to cost me around $23 it looks like. Did I just get my handed to me for doing this (meaning, did I pay too much)?

    Product: Fuente Opus X Fuente Fuente 5 5/8 x 46

    Oops,

    MSRP is estimated at $9.50 each. And yes, you can find them for close tto MSRP , if you do a little research.

    Only time I'v seen them locally they were around $35 so it sounds like a decent price to me.

    A Fuente Fuente Opus X Fuente Fuente should run you about $13.00 with California taxes.

    Opus X sources are as valuable as trustworthy cuban sources.

    I've paid $30 a pop in Las Vegas.... And they sell for about $60 Canadian here.

    I've bought them at the local shop for $18-$23 depending on size. I wish they could be had for $10 a stick, hell I'd smoke alot more of em!

    Do yourself a favor and let it sit in the humi for a while. Not necesarily because it needs age, although I hear they do benefit, but because you're likely not experienced enough to enjoy it.

    That's why I haven't sought one out.

    I smoked a Hemingway Short Story a few weeks back and realized that, although I really enjoyed it, there was a lot more flavour I was missing because it was a stronger smoke than I'm used to... So I imagine an Opus X would just be a waste for me.

    I would recommend letting it sit awhile as well, the couple times I've attempted to smoke an Opus shortly after purchase, it burned very uneven and wouldn't stay lit. It may have been a humidity issue, but these are also very oily cigars. A few weeks of rest in your humi should do them well.

    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.

    On another board it was said that a good Opus source was held as close as a good cuban source.

    There are many place online listing them for around $30 too. The . When the time comes for me to buy like crazy the $10 Opus sites are sure to be near the top of my list to find, because I'm sure if I could even find them locally ( ) they'd be way over MSRP.
