I have used CigarsDirect.com. Billy the owner is a good guy. He also sponsors reviews on my blog so I deal with him regularly. He is legit and takes customer service seriously.

Billy may be a great guy, but $79 buck for an A is outrageous, borderline criminal.. If you look around you can find these for half of that. MSRP is around $25. Just my .02

I agree way over pricedon the opus. I also he noticed he has acquired franks and jacked them up to 20 bucks a stick.

PM me if you know where I can find them at that price, but every webpage I have been to, it is the same price $79.00.

Wait, until next year. The Frank # 1, people will be paying $350/ box, since half of those 666 boxes may have already been smoked.

I'm looking , if you have any other source.

Opus are not too far off from shipping for the Xmas allocations. There will be tons of stuff out in the not too distant future. Also, try to post an ISO thread. I know for a fact there are quite a few people that have A's that might be willing to part with one.

it was a buy-in for this awesome poker game we had!! i kept bugging him, "$20 for the opus," over and over and over. i think he gave it to me just to shut me up!

 

[jwintosh]

try tampa sweetheart... they usually get in a nice selection!

Well, I don't believe he has an Opus account with Fuente so he's probably paying retail himself and reselling. I don't know. Never discussed it with him. But people who cannot find Opus are willing to pay a premium for them when they do, so more power to him.

Personally, I don't find anything all that special about Opus. They are good cigars, or at least they can be with time, but I think there are better smokes to be had at better prices.... If you want to try something special try a Tatuaje Reserva SW (note sig line when considering this reccomendation).

I can't recommend an A at $79, they are good smokes, but even at what I paid (I think around $30) not sure they are worth it. At gouger prices definitely not. I enjoy Opus, if you can get them at MSRP I think they are worth smoking, I smoke atleast one a month.

If you are into the A size a Montecristo A with about 5 or 6 years on it is a good smoke. I had a '00 a couple weeks ago that was great.

Ask the boys in Texas. They seem to get the best prices. Very hard to buy via internet. Best price is a BOTL that is close to a B&M with good prices.

 

[Angry Bill]

Yeah, those boys in Texas have alot of the goodies.

 

[weskimad]

Hard to imagine one could order a box of 10 Monte #2, and once shipping is factored in, actually save a couple of bucks. Amazing.

Kumar for that price you might as well kick yourself in the nuts, frickin' rip off! The best thing is to wait until they come out and that twice a year. OVTC.com offers them when they are in stock for way less than that bro. That's the same price you can find on ebay for those I would'nt be surprised if that vendor is also selling on ebay. Just my .02 wait until they come out again Christmas time and Fathers Day.

 

[Jetexas]

$79 bucks! He must be living in the pre October 08 period. $79 for 3 would be a deal...

 

[hdroadglide]

i bought 1 last christmas because my b & m had them for the first time. $35.oo as i recall. it was my super bowl stogie. last long time.....
good to try once, IF you are an opus fan, but not at double the price.
