Is it Nicaraguan
Want some Fuente Fuente Opus X cigars? A full box? No problem; try eBay.
Although the stated policy of the auction site is not to offer tobacco products for sale, its open season on Opus X. Over the past couple of weeks, 56 separate lots of Opus X cigars have sold on eBay, including:
A full box of 29 Opus X Super Belicosos (5 1/2 inches by 52 ring gauge) drew 16 bids from a Las Vegas seller and ended with a final bid of $611.99. Thats an average of $21.10 per cigar, a nice increase over the $11.50 suggested retail price.
A second box of Super Belicosos from the same seller earned 10 bids and a final total of $575.00, or $19.83 per cigar.
A box of Opus X Robustos (5 1/4 x 50) drew six bids and a final price of $605.00 or $20.86; the suggested retail price is $10.50.
A box of 32 Opus X Fuente Fuentes (5 5/8 x 46) collected nine bids and a hammer price of $511.00 or $15.97 each. The retail price? $9.00.
Oh, yes, there was a sale of a single cigar an Opus X Chili Pepper with a curved, pointed head in a cedar coffin that drew a final price of $52.99!
The Opus X line isnt the only cigar which has become a favorite on eBay. A sealed box of 25 Partagas 150 Signature Series AA (7 1/2 x 49) drew nine bids and a $378.00 final bid and a box of 25 Partagas 150 Signature Series A (6 3/4 x 43) earned 17 bids and a final price of $280.00.
And its not over. At one count there were 18 Opus X lots on sale on eBay, including seven full boxes! How is this possible? Some enterprising seller found the key by promoting the cigar bands as collectible and, of course, their value is greatest while still attached to the cigars they represent. Since then, thats the way they appear on eBay, to the delight of those who want to buy these cigars more than two at a time . . . if your retailer has any.
