Guys,

I had a friend of mine ask a question as to at what times during the year are Opus X's released to retailers, any idea? I thought it was around Father's Day and Christmas but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated.

The JR here got theirs in March.

I heard the one down the block from me got them in April which is how the discussion started. Maybe it is regionally released at different times?
[Reply]

I think the Opus are released throughout the year. The Anejos I believe are/used to be released only a couple times a year. That could have all changed.

I know last year my local b&m got them in around september or october
[Reply]

Whenever I ask the 2 B&M's close by to me when they get shipments, they both say the same thing "We don't know...we get them when we get them". :-) I do know Anejo's get a shipment in around X-Mas time usually. Opus X's I have no idea other than around Father's Day.
[Reply]

Not exactly sure, but is it a coincedence they always seem to be in stock around Father's day and Christmas? :-)
[Reply]

Quarterly on the Opus X, usually, but check with local B&M!
[Reply]

I know Anejos are supposed to be out for Father's Day, but for the life of me, they are cutting it close, cause none of the B&Ms near me have any.
[Reply]

Yeah, seriously.
Doesn't look like there's gonna be any Anejo's for Father's Day, and I haven't got any emails from Darlene the Cigar Girl.
Someone call her and see what she says. :-)

Hoping Emerson's gets some Anejos in soon.
[Reply]

I got one once, but I don't know if it was released or it escaped, so I can't help you.
[Reply]

I'm pretty sure Fuente does whatever Fuente wants. regarding when things are released and who gets what.
[Reply]

Well then kind sir, I thank you much for very little.
[Reply]

It's the least I can do - literally.

:-)

That is typically how things have worked in the past. If you had a Opus X account, you received the "special" stuff when they send it to you. There is no ordering for it. I have heard that things might be changing soon, but as far as I know Fuente ships stuff to where he wants, when he wants. :-)

You will pretty much see a LOT of good stuff around Father's day and X-mas though cuz those are a couple of cigar holidays. :-)

HAHA.........:-)

Hahaha I talked with the Cigar Girl the other day, and her report said they had 3 sizes in stock for single sale only with a max of 2... grrrrr
[Reply]

Cigar Girl!?!

Haven't seen her around in a while. I miss the... um... banter she was famous for with Icehog. :-)
[Reply]

My locals are stocked year round, but it's probably due to the price. :-)
