When do new batches/shipments of Opus X usually hit B&M's?

Have a quick question about the ever elusive Opus X. I was wondering if there is a set time frame when Opus X cigars are usually shipped out to B&M stores? I know the amount of shipments are very limited, but I also thought that they usually get sent out the same time every year (at least the main shipment). I have never seen one in person at the 2 local cigar shops around me so I'd like to get have a little prior knowledge of when they get them so I can perhaps get one this year . I know you can get them online at some places but the prices are usually jacked up (sometimes close to 300%) from the MSRP. Last year I was able to scratch off Anejo from my 'to try list' when I got one from a B&M store and this year I'd like to take on the Opus! Thx for any knowledge you can give me on the subject!

I don't know if it's a set time frame, but my local B&M got a sizeable shipment in December and I'm told next one would be about this time (April/May). The December batch sold out in two days but the prices were pretty reasonable, all things considered. I paid $11 per corona and $14 for the belicosos (which are currently resting in the humi).

Ah, good to know. I will have to call (or probably have better luck showing up) the 2 local B&M's and see if they will say when they will be in. Last year I was in a different location and they were a little cryptic with when shipments would be in so that is why I made this thread

Usually in April, around Father's Day, and close to Christmas.
