they are generally pretty close to MSRP.

They wouldn't by chance be releasing the BBMF this way also would they ?

Just smoked one, very interesting. Tasty and complex, started off harsh, but that faded quickly. The recent batches of Opus X have all been too harsh and spicy for me, so I had let them rest for a year or three before smoking. This one wasn't like those. Picked up 12 more, though.

Thanks.

Looks like their 5-pack prices are about $4 over MSRP per cigar, but it seems consistant across the board, which would make the Opus X 77 about $14/stick MSRP.

i'm getting all kinds of phone calls. another shipment of anejos, shipments of crazy sized opus, a whole new line up of "rosarios" (sp) and some 8-5-8's of the non normal type.

if anyone runs across these and can't afford to pick them up let me know :-)

got a call from a vendor and they wanted 11.70ish for the love affairs. i haven't seen any opus sharks yet though.

just back from the Briar Shoppe where they were going for $20. a little high but I was curious, so I picked up one shark along with some of the more reasonably priced sizes. They actually had a ton of Opus boxes this year. just about every size from what I could tell. I picked up one that was a curious size I had never seen before. looks to be about a 40 x 6.5 ? with a pyramid top. very cool looking!

edit: ah ok, petit lancero according to the internet

asked at a shop by me that usually gets a healthy opus shipment in, the owner said they have never made opus sharks... i told him i knew people that had them, he continued insisting that i was thinking of the anejo so i ended the conversation and politely left. apparently if they're not getting them then they have never been made :-)

My local shop got such a large shipment of OpusX, they put them on the floor. This is not the norm at this shop, they usually have OpusX to purchase, but if you don't know to ask....they assume you probably don't want them.

It was such a surprise seeing the boxes of OpusX on the shelves, I mentioned it to the owner. She then informed me of their box of OpusX Sharks and OpusX Love Story, both of which they did not put on the floor.

I grabbed two of each just to have....then decided I just needed one of each and picked up another 4 Anejos to take their place.

Who knows, I may go back and get a few more....but they were cost prohibitive, think $20 for the Shark and $14-15 for the Love Story.

Not a new size, but a great cigar... picked up a few of them this time around as well...
[Reply]

after I finish my Christmas shopping I plan to go back and pick up a few more, as well as a few more of the sharks, depending on how much $$$ I have left.
[Reply]

got a call about the sharks, 16.25 per is what i was quoted. that's the cheapest i've seen so far.
[Reply]

I got mine today, fiver of Sharks and Love Affair. Considering they traveled from Fl to Maui in four days, great customer service.
[Reply]

Just finished one of the Opus Sharks, it was very tasty and smooth. The draw and construction was what you would expect from an Opus. Now time to grab some late night sushi with the wife:-)
[Reply]

What have I got here?

I want some of each, Shark and Love Affair. My local shop can get me boxes, but that's too rich for my blood. No one around me carries Opus singles.
[Reply]

That looks more like the Beli or Power Ranger. Does not look square enough or large enough to the scale of your hand to be a shark.:-)
[Reply]

MSRP is $11.
[Reply]

+1. I also thought the Opus Shark had a 2nd band, but maybe that's just the ones in the set.
[Reply]

Its not an Opus Shark, but they ones they sold in boxes did not have a second band. :-)
