Odd/Rare Opus X cigars - Page 3 - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

VERY awesome!! Man, I would LOOVE some of those!!
Fuente is such a class company and fantastic maker of cigars..I met Carlito in Tampa Fl. and he is such a great guy. LOVES talking about cigars..even ones his company doesn't make...He also has a Padron stash...like we all should.

Well answering after 5 years is better than waiting 6? :-) :-) :-)

I was just at the local B&M and they have some DE footballs, from what I've read they really aren't that great to smoke, for all the obvious reasons.

I don't know anything about Jon making footballs but it's certainly possible, some of his rollers are crazy talented. Note, if it's an EGG, then yeah, total gimmick, even he'll tell you that. It's the same blend as the natural dirt or root, I always get those two confused. Funny thing is, he can't make enough of them.

I'll have to double check next time I'm there, but I'm almost positive they were footballs not the regular eggs and they were in the DE / Liga shelves. Again, I'll check just for the heck of it next time I stop by there.

Thanks other Adam. :-)

Btw, "note" was supposed to be "now". Silly Swype software...

A B&M by me has football cigars, not sure if they are DE though. They were trying to sell them for the SB. Next time I'm by there, I'll look to see who made them.

The day my friend gave the football to me, he insisted it was intended for four people to smoke. After spending so much time with him and other Fuentes cigarmakers, I respect that opinion, just not sure how one smokes a single large cigar among four people. To expand on this, I actually talked to some of my friends about how we might build something that would allow each of us our own individual smoke with a single cigar. I 100% plan on smoking this football in the next month, for one thing I feel most certain, no cigar built is made to sit in a humidor forever, and this one has been for about 9 years.

Very cool pics! The rarest Opus I have is a LBMF Forbidden X and a Love Story Lost City and those are common compared to the rare ones in that picture!

It's called a puff-puff-pass. Don't overthink it.

As an aside, that football doesn't really appear to be that big and that one person could smoke it.

Atta boy. Your friend gave it to you to enjoy. Share it with some brothers around a fire. It'll be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of you. :-)
