So my local didn't get any, and I'm salivating looking at the pics. If anyone wants to point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful :togetherl

Any word on the blend? Is it actually the Forbidden X blend (like the Cigar in a Bottle, 2004 Toro, etc?) or is it like the "Forbidden" stuff at Casa Fuente, that is just regular Opus in funny sizes and fancy clothes?

At Casa this spring they told me that the "Forbidden" stuff was the same blend, but using aged tobaccos (I think he said 5-years, but I could be wrong). He said they were noticeably different than the regular Opus, and in his opinion also different from a regular Opus that had been aged.

I think MU said earlier in the thread that they were 100th anni blend, I tend to trust his opinion on baller related sticks.

And if anyone comes across some lanceros, yeah ummm...

 

[sirpantsornot]

just get some on ebay:

seems reasonable.

I like how there is already 2 sold. And at least it is free shipping :angerFU:

 

[strife]

I wonder what impact the loss of tobacco from the warehouse fire had to do with production and pricing.

Anyone know the significance of the dates in the cigar names? 1912 and 2012 are pretty obvious. Is 1890 the birthdate of someone significant in the family? Is '57 Carlito's birth year?

mistyped the destiny, it is 1980. and that is the damn box i bought, you think i would get it right!

knowing fuente, either birth years, or other significant milestones. when did opi first debut?

edit: light digging gives 1980 as the year the family started production in the DR.

 

[Palmettoguy]

Picked up 2 Nacimiento, 2 Heart of the Bull, 2 Keeper of the Flame, and a box of Torch Bearer...

 

[JayD]

You got a box of torch bearer? Grrrr

 

[jebloom22]

I'm smoking a Heart of the Bull right now. Peppery and bold at 1/2" in. Cigars & More (Libertyville, IL) has them for $14.05 (with free membership) plus about $2 tax.

 

[Maxismoke]

If any of you guys feel the urge to send some of these to Sweden i will gladly buy them or trade.

Please...

Could be from the Chateau de la Fuente Rare Estate Reserve. There were Only 500 boxes released & each box contains 22 of 16 different exclusive rare Opus X cigars. Not sure if the mixture of sizes are the same in all boxes. I work at House of Cigar Montecristo Lounge in Columbus Ohio (You may have seen us in "The Art of Lounging" in Cigar Aficionado). We are retailing ours as a unit for $1300.

Got an email from a retailer today. Said they have new rare opus:
Heart of the Bull
Keeper of the flame
Anyone know what these are?

You got a box of torch bearer? Grrrr

And a box of Gods Whisper :rolling:

Dont worry...Ill hook ya up :thumbsup:
