By LE, I'm assuming u mean Limited Edition? Are you referring to the LaVerite? Amazing but over-priced. Personally I think the Opus is much better... although admittedly & regretfully I have not had the pleasure of trying one of the CDLF Opus 22s. It gets a little out of my range when you branch into Opus' more exclusive lines but the traditional opus is worth every penny of $15 MSRP. I love them. Also, a fun tidbit (which evry1 is prob already aware of if you read Aficionado): Opus X is Stallone's stick of choice. :tiphat:

What gibbleguts is getting at is that you described the Opus 22 set, yet this thread is not about the Opus 22 set. Rather it is about the new Forbidden X sizes.
Additionally, Pete Johnson has released a number of Limited Editions....La Verite is only one of them.
rite ok. That makes sense... admittedly I only read the 1st page of the thread b4 that post. I guess that was kinda douchebaggery. & yes I realize there is more than 1 LE. I was simply trying 2 elicit which 1 he was referring to or if he simply meant in general. The LaVerite seems 2 b the most popular 1 at this point, although the Black Lance sold out very quickly. I believe that was also a limited release if I'm not mistaken.

The last couple of these boxes I have bought have been $750 and $650. That is for the 09 and 10 years. If you check the prometheus website I believe they list MSRP at $950. I buy a lot of cigars and have been lucky to get pretty good discounts on most of them a lot due to great brothers here. One more thing why I may have been a little rude about it is it is generally in bad taste to advertise your own shop if you are not a sponsor here.

ok thats what I was trying to figure out.... really because in my mind they aren't quite as expensive or exclusive as the Rarer Opus lines. BTW not to get off topic but I love your reviews. Actually I stumbled across this site looking for decent reviews & you are the reason I found this place. Thanx :smile:
Your PM box is full Matt! :razz:
Wow. That surprises me because I did actually look at the invoice to the vendor. Its possible that he deliberatley overpriced it so it wouldnt sell. He happened to mention to me that it's more about letting customers see our status than actually making money off it. He can be goofy like that.
Also, I apologize for the promo. I guess I didn't realize that it was considered inappropriate here. I guess I assumed it was pretty much a free forum for anything but i can understand how that may come off in bad taste. I didn't mean it 2. I've seen a lot of other people doing the same thing & it didnt occur 2 me 2 question whether they were sponsors. I guess I'm a little overzealous about my job sometimes. I love this industry & I love meeting new people & developing friendships with returning customers. I didnt mean to be offensive.

Hey Matt, Save me an empty box if possible. It would look great on top of my beer fridge holding darts for the dart board.

looks like:
7 churchills
6 toros
5 robustos
6 nacimientos
24 total
10 are spoken for by other botls, I'll probably keep 5 to 10 for myself, so there is another 5er out there if someone is on the hunt. will need to figure out sizes but gotta run.
