Guys,
Are these worth the price of admission? Has anyone had the fuente fuente size in this line?

yes, and yes. more of a lower priming, softer wrapper from the same wrapper plant as standard opus, like a shade grown opus, but the bastard has SPICE!
as always, i don't think you should pay over market value for them. also, i am predisposed to opi. but they are yummy. o)

I thought it was a really good smoke myself. I bought at casa fuente though so I paid more than retail.
Definitely worth a try. Medium with a lot of flavor and a very pleasant refined spice on the retro

Do you think the Fuente Fuente size is worth $17 a stick?

Not sure which size I smoked but it was like 25 at casa so 17 doesn't seem too bad

yes. that is not far off suggested, and if local taxes are a factor, that is totally fair.
again, anything over $10-$12ish, and you get diminishing returns: you should buy what YOU like. IIRC, you are down with opi under normal conditions; this is a different riff off the normal opusX tune, and worth it for an opus fan. you don't dig opi, not worth admission price. your call.
(and once again, i have a clear bias towards the fuente portfolio.)
EDIT: also, casa is it's own thing. they charge stuipid prices, because they can, but for a fuente nerd it is like the wonka factory for fat kids. also hot waitresses. also also, vegas. it is what it is. $27 there isn't too terribly stupid a price.

It was a cigar and fuente fans paradise to look in that humidor. Smoked the angel, a forbidden chili pepper, and an untold story there. I miss that place
Well,
Our local sold out of these within minutes! I should have bought one anyway! Maybe next year

Hmmm, don't see any Sharks available...
Wow that was fast. But not really I guess cuz I was late to the party as well, but was just able to grab a 5er. Go wit some 46s if they still got. Great price imo for 5er ...

There are still Angels Share for sale in some places? The place I get the majority of my stuff "didn't" get them and a place I go to didn't sell the ones they got.
Not to derail this but for everyone that's tried one on here, is it different than the one from last year? I think it may have been a pre release or something but it was phenomenal imo.
