We have a good inventory in stock now and more on the way. If we sell out of any size temporarily, more will be here in a few days. The special pricing we are offering is below. Right now, this is only available via phone but as of 12noon on Wednesday, you should be able to order online right off the anejo page. We just need to get that updated. Prices below are for single cigars. For boxes, we are offering an additional 10% discount. All boxes are 25 cigars except the sharks which are 20 cigars to a box. We also have a small inventory of the new No. 60 which will be shipping next week.
No. 46 $11
No. 48 $13
No. 49 $14
No. 50 $12
No. 55 (torpedo) $13
No. 77 (pyramid box pressed) $15
No. 60 $13
Which one of these is the infamous "shark" vitola I keep hearing about?

Unfortunately, Fuente does not send us enough so we are forced to buy from third party suppliers throughout the year. In fact, depending on the time of year I am forced to pay double msrp to get full boxes hence our regular price. That said, when we can get it at better prices we have no problem reducing our regular prices and sharing whatever savings we can. About 10% of what I have in stock right now is from Fuente, the rest I have had to hunt down and buy at varying higher costs which all get averaged in. So yes, these prices are a bit over msrp but are much lower than you will find online if you can find them online, especially a dealer who will sell a whole box. Just wanted to make sure I explained this so people did not think we are gouging.
The price on the #55 is incredible. If I only didn't just buy a box last week. And I thought I got a good price. DAMN! Between that and the box of Sharks coming I am all tapped out. However, I would have bought some of the #60 if they were a 52 and 60 ring guage. a 6 x 48 is too similar to the 7 x 48.

thanks for putting forth all the hard work to find these sticks. I will never understand why Fuente doesn't make the Anejo and Opus more available to retailers who sell their products well. My local B&M sells a bit of Fuente but they can never get Opus and usually get only 4 boxes of Anejo.

Does ccom have a Fuente account? Not sure on the accuracy of the discussion here on Opus X, sounds plausible- comments and discussion on pricing...interesting read LINK....getting Anejos though at that price and boxes is STELLAR...
Alex and other members, didnt mean to say anything negative, but was just listing the facts. I dont get why AF does this as well, but it is what it is. Just the other day I was at Downing Street here in Houston with a vendor, and we walked into the humi. AF WoAM was $21. AF Anejo 46 was $23! So yes, these prices are not "gouging" at all compared to other sellers.

Yes we have an account with Fuente. However, each account gets X number of boxes for christmas and they dont really take into account size. For example, I probably do the sales of about 30 brick and mortar stores but I get the same allocation as the small guys. It is what it is.
