I still cant believe the prices you guys get. $8.00 a stick is unheard of here. Maybe $15 and that would be a bargin. Thanks for the contest

it's a 6 hour drive, you can stay here if you want, (I know you're joking, but still, I wouldn't turn you guys away)

hurry while supplies last

just head straight up 287 then hit 40 west


and yeah, for fuentes, they're great. But seriously, he's got like 3-4 boxes of King B's, same with the Cuban Belis, countless boxes of Hemi's and Don Carlos'... guys are great too, lots of padrons, some ashtons, partagas, RyJ's, Punch, Uppman

it's a small shop, but they know what to keep in stock, and they always have a lot of boxes aging until they need opening

The fuente prices are so volatile, they can be one extreme or the other
Hmmm, this is from the FAQ at Holts:

Q.
Do you sell OPUS X?
A.
The Fuente Fuente Opus X is manufactured in extremely limited quantities and when available is sold in our two retail stores in Philadelphia only. Per Tabacalera Fuente no authorized Opus X retailer is permitted to mail order or sell the Opus X above MSRP.
So, if that's true, what I saw online must be both unauthorized sales and price gouging... (they were charging $25 - $35 a stick)

With fuel costs, it'd be cheaper to have you buy them and MAIL them to me. LOL!

But at the moment, I don't need it. I think I've got a line on them locally. :blob:

If you see Opus X online, they're either:

(A) An authorized retailer breaking their agreement;
(B) An unauthorized dealer reselling cigars
(C) Selling Prometheus packages
(D) Counterfeits
