BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I've got 3 sources that I've used since 1999....it pays to develop sources and relationships and I get Opus at MSRP... sometimes a little less. Can't name them as they are under contract as are 99% or they risk losing theirs.

I love Opus cigars, but I can see why people complain about the prices many retailers charge. I too am fortunate to get them at MSRP. I would pay much over that.

So what do the Fuentes dip those in? Old motor oil mixed with donkey poop? Wrapper looks stained bruh
No idea and doesn't really concern me.. Those Purple Rains are something I will likely never see and I highly doubt will ever own. They are a beautiful cigar though.So what do the Fuentes dip those in? Old motor oil mixed with donkey poop? Wrapper looks stained bruh

Were they out of a 22 set or did they come in their own 24 count box?
I think they come in a 10ct box, and maybe the 22 set. But I can't say that with certainty. I do believe they are a recent release. I think they are very pricey.

What’s the price?
The deepest I’ve gone into Fuente is a 3 pack tin which was ok and the gold band release out of the yellow box... had one of each size and they all tasted terrible

I don't know the price. I haven't researched them. I know they are above my pay grade.

Yeah $45 for a stick is insane
Yeah, $450 for box of 10. I just looked it up. Part of the Opus Aged Selection and they are taking pre-orders. 300 boxes total. I have no doubt they will find new homes pretty quickly.

Haven't received a PM...mebbe you sent it to somebody else?
As far as the Purple Rain goes....was gifted one and was totally underwhelmed by it. While it is a politically motivated cigar and Charity driven the essence of this cigar isn't because of the aged tobacco... it's proceeds help the starving children in the Dom.Republic thereby getting incentives back to the Fuentes. Hard to fault them as to the real smokability of this cigar that is trotted out 2 times a year...its a $8 cigar at best but the proceeds go to a worthy cause. I'll take the Reserve Chateau, Robusto and Perfexcion X any day,...with 2 years rest.

I’d rather spend the $8 locally and donate the remaining $37 to helping our own countries kids who are struggling.

Anytime underprivileged children are helped, it's a good thing. Having said that, I think CFCF foundations donations are much more smartly spent to change the lives of children in the DR that have no safety net like those here in the USA. I applaud the efforts and results of CFCF.

At these prices I’m sure the children are living good healthy lives. At least I hope. So many charities thes days are mishandled tho.
