Just curious, but what are the more desirable vitolas? The B&M I frequent seems to always have some OpusX in stock, I'm not sure which ones but last time I looked at the prices and the max was about 20 bucks.

The ones you like....

Personally I like the smaller sizes, but that is me. Some would say the more rare they are the more desirable (such as Magnum O, Sharks, etc...), but I smoke em so I want what I like.

And those ones marked up 2X or more in the post above I wouldn't consider desirable. That call em "rare" mark up the shit out of them and wait for the suckers

I tend to enjoy the petit lanceros, perfection 5s, number 4s and super belicosos, and can usually find some combination of them locally.

The Fuente event is coming to Holts in September so if anyone wants anything let me know. I can usually get anything.

OVTC is another good source I use a lot....Old Virginia Tobacco Company

http://www.ovtc.com/Arturo Fuente Opus X.html#Cigar

As stated on their site...call before ordering so you know if they have stock. I buy a lot of the Reserves and at $16.31 that's a pretty good deal. Perfecxion X goes for $15.19 while the Fuente Fuente goes for $12.38.....these are very affordable prices and I've used these guys for years.

IDK about you guys, but I appreciate it when retailers go the extra mile and list the sizes of each stick in their order screen. I have not memorized every stick in every line by name and size :)


Yet...

while that's nice (actually quite nice, i do agree), memorizing the MSRP's of opus is more important. and kudos to the emerson's crew for actually keeping to it.

Sean, I understand retailers up-charging a little bit as they have to buy a lot of regular product to get Opus. As long they don't jack the prices up too much than I am fine with it. The store I go to increases the price 20% above MSRP. However, I've seen stores do 50-100% above MSRP.

My B&M (granted, it's in a somewhat tony area of town, and CA tobacco tax, etc.) is one of those that really hikes the Opus. I guess I'm fortunate that they carry a lot of them. But thehn you see guys on here posting stuff from the midwest when they get their Opus stock, and you see $13 for one and you just sigh.

Sigh.

exactly. factor in local taxes, realize they have a right to get a couple few more points on something prestige, and a couple extra bucks a stick can make sense. and be fair. i just get REALLY burned when people do the latter, just to be greedy a$$holes.
