opus X worth it?

wmaxham

ooook. so. instead of ym shop selling single opus cigars. they decided to give away 25 of em at a time in events and whatnot, instead of selling them. but they do have a 5 bag. each bag has an opus x. but,i dont no what the other 4 cigars are. im sure there nice cigars. rangeinf fomr 6-12 dollers. but the bag itself is 56 bucks. im just wondering. is the opus x worth droping that kind of dough for?

56 for 5 cigars with an opus is sort of a toss up in my opinion.. It would depend on what cigars other than the opus were. I know you could get two opus X's for about that. If the other cigars were one's you wanted to try than I would say you should go for it. i haven't had an opus yet, but I do have a couple on the way. They get a lot of praise, and I figure if you want to at least taste some good reviewed cigars than sometimes you have to pay more than one would usually pay.

I'd have to agree, it depends on what else is in the bag. I have only had 2 Opus and they are good cigars, but INMHO not worth more than 10-15 per stick. I have seen them range up to $50 a pop. There are just too many other cigars that compare to drop that much on a one time thing.

If you aren't at in the least interested in the other sticks, then it's not worth it. The opus is a good smoke but you can get them cheaper than $56 bucks (if you just end up trading or not liking the other 4 sticks). Also, the size of the opus will be a big factor here. Each opus, depending on size may have a different flavor profile. As an alternative, you could post in the trades section that you're looking to try an opus and are willing to trade (list whatever you have) or buy one off someone.

Find out what the other four sticks are. I don't think a respectable B&M would put cheap sticks in with an Opus and charge that kinda price. If the other four sticks are in the 8 to 10 dollar range then it should be a good deal.

I wish I could get me mind around that way of thinking....

my local B&M has been dealing with Fuente for many years and they get OpusX a few times a year. sometimes i catch it, sometimes i dont. this is the only place i have seen them at MSRP

Kuzi, your lucky, I have 2 shops around me (that I know of) and 1 has good prices but only has a small selection, while the other has a larger collection, but are spendy. They really jack up the prices.

Or you could just buy a single from here. They seem to be in stock for the time being. LINK

well. i found a stick for 20 bucks. but the inch smaller version of the torpedo i got is 35 bucks on cigar.com so i the bigest one. havnt smoked it yet. and in the bag. it was 2 opus and 3 fuenta series, like 8 dollers a stick. so maybe a 60-65 doller bag at there prices in singles. and my dealer gets em 4 times a year. but i snaged one anyway. so ill tell you how it goes tommarow. cant smoke on halloween. got to much stuff to do.

Never had an opus 9-18 a stick is a little too spendy for me right now.

I would pay 9-18 anyday for an Opus since most of the time I find them for 25 or more. True, it is spendy but I will do that 3 or 4 time a year.. they are that good.

If I ever find a B&M around here that has soem I'd be more than happy to buy a few, but I just can't find them anywhere localy...
