Some of us old guys know EXACTLY what this cigar is...
Some of y'all "kids" probably never knew they existed

(okay, the coffin was a prop, NOT for the cigar)
They came in a box just like this...

Well, I never knew. What is it?
(I'm thinking "original production Opus X", but I see the "Nicaragua" seal on the box and I think, "no way".)

Nope.
But they did have a hand in why these "disappeared".

Series X by EO Brands. A damn good cigar and was sued by the gutless Fuente's over the "X" and production had to cease. Just another reason why I am not fond of Fuente.
I still have a few lying around.

Very Nice Tobii!
I had heard of these Series X, and how they were sued, but never have seen one either in RL or on the internet. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting to know the history on the Nic 3000s, I've heard good things about them.
