The thread on resting opus got me to wondering if anyone has pulled the trigger on these.

The boxes of 10 are starting to be released.
For you PA, NJ and NY folk, Holt's cigar company in Philadelphia will be getting these and the 22 sets later this week...or so I'm told. And there is a possiblity they will break up some of the ten boxes for single sales...

I saw these in the most unlikely of places... a friend has to give me a report before I will even touch these at $30 a pop. AF has underwhelmed me for last couple years.

I saw them in Thompson's latest catalog and their website said "shipping on the Dec 12th".
They're suppose to start showing up at B&M's in the coming couple weeks...before Christmas.

Ah well...my kids didn't need any presents this year anyway. I'll just give them an extra big hug.

Also, just FYI, the lancero and the Love affair are NOT the "Lost City" blend, just reg Opus X blend with a different band...

May next year on the 22 box....or any of them for that matter.

Are they a different profile than the regular opus line?

In 2004, Andy Garcia began filming The Lost City (www.theLostCitytheMovie.com) and wanted to shoot one of the most memerable scenes of his movie at Chateau de la Fuente in July. Unfortunately, there was no tobacco plants growning at Chateau de la Fuente during that time because the tobacco plants are usually harvested in March.

In order to help Andy Garcia, Carlito Fuente planted tobacco at Chateau de la Fuente during summer time so that Andy could film The Lost City.

After the movie was shot at Chateau de la Fuente, the tobacco plants were harvested and have been aged. Carlito Fuente has created very special cigars from these 5-year old tobaccos: Fuente Fuente OpusX The Lost City. All cigars made with the tobaccos planted for The Lost City come with the black bands.


In addition, Carlito Fuente is releasing two rare, aged FFOX cigars in a tribute to Andy Garcia and The Lost City: Fuente Fuente OpusX Lancero and Love Affair which come with the red bands.

I call around to local shops once in a while they all tell me different dates. Hopefully I can pick up a couple of these, somewhere.
