If you can't find any of those, may I recommend a Padron 1964 or if u want something more full bodied- 1932. They SHOULD run around $15-$24....

The Anejo is worth 20 bucks to me, even though the msrp is 12-14 bucks

I'm one of the few that really don't think Opus X are worth it. The only cigars over $15 I have bought and really thought were worth every penny were the Ashton VSG, Camacho Pre-Embargo, and Don Carlos Anniversary.

By definition, nothing that is 'overpriced' is worth it.

I'll go second on either the 1928 padron or the 1964's. I also like the Davidoff Milleniums and the Cohiba Red Dot's . I don't really like the opus X for the money or the God of Fire, and I really like the AVO's. My advice is just go with whatever catches your eye. Premiums are similar to non premiums in that rarely is one cigar for everyone. So just go with the cigar that makes your mouth water and see what happens.

I go there at least once a week. The atmosphere varies on the day, time and crowd (just like most bars anywhere). I usually go early Friday evening (between the after work crown, but before the late night bar spill off or Saturday early afternoon. Also watch out if there is a home Celtics game, cause some of the players show up for a post game smoke and usually take up the back/private area. They are going through some major construction in the front part of the place so its a bit unsettling walking through a small construction area to get to the bar, but it hasn't stopped me. As for the selection it has grown leaps and bounds this past year... its pretty amazing actually. They have a huge selection of Don Pepin, Olivia (including the elusive V), Rockey Patel, CAO, Drew Estates... They do have to charge a cutting fee to keep the tobacco revenue up, but i find that once you become a regular and once in a while buy from them they usually not charge the fee. Also it never hurts to sit on a leather couch smoking a cigar watching the Bruins loose while a hot eastern European waitress keeps filling your glass with Guinness...

If you can grab an OpusX at retail, they are worth every penny to me. $15-20 is reasonable for them. The Anejo is right behind it. The Camacho Pre-Embargo is a little steep at retail prices, but when they do come around at a great price, buy as many as you can. There are many other premium-priced sticks that can be worth it, but it all comes down to what you love and what you can afford.

I really enjoy Gurkha Titan II's. Pricey, and a little difficult to find sometimes, but a VERY good stick IMHO.
