Opus X, which to buy?

[Scooter]

Hi stjohnroe and anyone else who's reading.

Can you recommend anywhere in the UK/EU that I may be able to find Rocky Patel Sun Grown, Vintage 1990 or even Gurkha Expedition?

Ironically enough, I can find plenty of sources for Cohiba et al , but the grass is always greener and the good non-cubans are few and far between. Just like the Opus X.

I did manage to find a few Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Maduro Robustos. Only had them in the humi for a couple of weeks, but I was keen to try one. I'm definitely no expert, but I thought it was OK, if a wee bit harsh at the start. Burned well and mellowed a bit towards the end. I'm hoping some more time in the humi will help.

Anyone tried these? Can I expect better than OK?

Cheers.

Seagar,

For my source, just check the first post on this thread.

Scooter,

Haven't seen the three that you mention anywhere in the UK, but cgarsltd do claim that they will source any cigar requested (price may be a problem though). I tried the Chateau due to the advice received on this board and thoroughly enjoyed it, where did you get these from?

I buy some wine here and there from a Scottish guy based in Germany and he mentioned he had a couple of boxes of cigars for sale. Got a box of AF CF M Robustos and a box of ST Dupont Churchills for £175.

Not cheap by US standards, but very reasonable based on UK prices.

Just found out a mate of mine is at a course in the US just now. Got to get my order in before he returns tomorrow!!!!
