If I recall correctly, there were 100 humidors of 100 cigars made back in 2002 (?). I split a humidor with a shop owner back then. The cigars are still near the top of my N/C "Best of" list. They have the best characteristics (IMO) of both the Opus & VSG. They are not nearly as spicy or peppery as an opus but still have the great flavor of the filler.
The Montesino Pyramid came out around the same time (I believe) and it shares a fair bit in common with this cigar for a FRACTION of the cost. Both are worth seekign out and the VSG ERs are worth paying easily $50 a stick for the experience. They're that good. (I have no idea what their current market value is. I'm just speaking to their smoking enjoyment value)
