im still new at cigars but would not pay that kind of money for three cigars like that i just think to my self how many boxes of lower priced cigars i can get for that much its just insane

It's kinda like paying $7.00 for a coke at a ball game.......out-freakin-rageous, but if someone will pay it, then sell it.

Wow, just wow. I'm at a loss for words.

I guess some people just care more about showing off then enjoying a cigar and they will pay that price (insane though it is).

I think that the way things are these days with the easy access to the internet, those who care about value will get a good deal and those who have money to burn will burn it without thinking twice.

Cheers,

Kipp... Scottish Tobacco on Sydney Marcus? They're Opus prices are friggin ridiculous.. I think the last time I was there.. been over a year.. he wanted $44 for a Casa Fuente Robusto single...

A buck fiddy for the FFOX Robusto tin?

Are they on crack or something?
[Reply]

that is what I meant, that they are the only shop that "still has them"

A friend of mine actually thinks this the right price for Opus X cigars, actually more than that. Just last month he was arguing with me that Padron 80th are $80 per cigar, wouldn't believe me they are $30 per, at most. As someone mentioned already, for some out there it is the point of showing off the price, they rarely discuss the flavor and such, simply the price point. I don't get it.

There's a B&M locally here that sells the Fuente Fuente Opus X "A" for $80!!!! A single coffin for $80!
The other shop I go to sells them for $25 a piece. They have a limit of 1 per day. The other shop doesn't care how many you buy at their price! :-)

Like I said I was not going to name names but if Ji wants to that's ok.:-)

LOL.. that's the only shop in town that I know gouges like that. I've talked to the owner a few times. He's got no shame. :]. The rest of his stock was reasonably priced I think. There were a couple things if you dig around.. Some really old stuff that can be a decent find.

I've sworn his shop off though because of the prices on the Fuente stuff. I think he does alright though because he stocks or sells the cigars for the Lotus Lounge. Not sure if they're even open anymore. Never been there.

Well now I know why he still has Sharks in stock at the end of January. That's just ridiculous.
[Reply]

True but compared to the Opus that price for the Sharks seems reasonable.:-)

well it's crazy to think that they would allow pricing like this even after making threats but the reality is that it keeps their stuff rare and keeps it i high demand. they don't care. a local shop always calls me when they get theirs in and their prices are outrageous considering there are 7-8 other shops within walking distance who are sometimes almost half the price. they wanted 21.95 for a super belicoso and 17.95 for a xXx and 15.95 for a #5. that's triple their cost. i can understand wanting to make a profit but it's just downright moronic for people in my area to pay that kinda $ for them.

crazy thing is that two years ago they were one of the cheapest in the area.
