New Opus X

[SSimp]

If a brand has a cigar name pussy juice it's not a stretch they would make a double corona lancero

It would probably be box pressed.

I have heard so many stupid names on ncs so nothing surprises me, even a few ccs have stupid names.
I smoke some Fuentes stuff but don't have the time to try to keep up with cc and ncs. If a brand has a cigar name pussy juice it's not a stretch they would make a double corona lancero

It actually is a stretch that a cigar would be named after 2 sizes that are not the same.

Looks so pretty, but too rich for my blood.

Fuente is hit or miss with me anyways. I like Diamond Crown Maximus best, then Sungrowns. Hemingways are good too, never had a Don Carlos. OpusX was good, but didn't live up to the hype.

RyJ has the short churchill, the wide churchill, and I wouldn't be surprised if down the road they do a petite lancero churchill, so why not a double corona lancero?

Taste is always a subjective thing, and personally I like opus, so looking forward to trying one of these. I don't think $20 is an outrageous price for a cigar when you look how many Padron has out above that mark. You also see several companies offering sticks in the 13-14 range nowadays too. If you are willing to pay that then so be it. I don't think Fuente is out of line with their pricing on these considering it will be a fairly limited run, we see it all too often with cigars nowadays and like the others these will sell. Rather than complain about it, just don't buy I say.

Lots of Liga making it into the $15 range, the Veriteis $20ish, MFLE is as well. Priced under $20 and they are a rocking deal. Posted via Mobile Device

I'd gladly step up and give it a shot. If I can find them. I have seen no mention of these yet.

89.00 - too bad its coming out the days after christmas because I've already spent a ton of money otherwise I dont think its too bad of a deal.

 

[JayD]

I believe the email said they only had 13 of them, was probably gone within minutes of people receiving the email.

 

[JayD]

Haha well that figures. I may have a line on some. I was told to call back tomorrow. They made it seem like this was a big release and not a big deal.

I am just not a fan of the Opus X flavor profile. I've smoked plenty of them and wanted to like them but never did. So I won't be actively searching for them myself. I do really like the Anejo's though.

 

[BrooksW]

Supposed to be up to 7 different sizes sent to top 25 accts...not everyone got every size...boxes of 13, msrp a bit higher the the numbers in the box for each...Most accts getting only one box of each size they get...They also have a different band, what looks like a "13" in a circle...

Here is what the boxes look like...

Will be smoking one of the Lanceros tom...

Hope that helps!

not sure if I missed it somewhere, but do we know the sizes/vitolas for these, or just the names? quick google perusing turned up nada.

 

[njstone]

If anyone finds options to buy these, let me know!

 

[JayD]

All this did was make me want one more. I really want to let one rest and smoke one soon too see the difference. We will see I suppose.

I am smoking the Nacimiento as I type. I believe it is a similar (if not the same size) as the Opus X No. 4. First third was relatively mild with typical Fuente sun grown flavors...spice picks up in the second third and is complimented well by some creaminess and floral tones. A well nuanced cigar so far, and definitely worth a try if you can find it at msrp. I think I paid about $14.00 before taxes.

That said, if I stumble across more of the latest holiday release, I will defiantly be grabbing more DC Lanceros before I buy any more of these.

 

[Palmettoguy]

So who has them in stock?

And to think the no. 4 is my favorite size.
