I guess this is why we need a Devil Site

Anybody see this:
http://www.cigar.com/cigars/default....ist&brand=AFXL
Just trying to conceive of buying one of these I nearly yacked all over my keyboard, I got dizzy, spun in my chair, I think my head was rapidly rotating 360 on my neck. Holy crap! Is anyone buying one (or more) of these retail? I'm going back to my medication after this.

Seriously, anybody got these Opus Xs? How are they?

Re: I guess this is why we need a Devil Site

I would think that if anyone does have them, they won't be smoked. This is more of a collector's item due to the rarity than anything.

Re: I guess this is why we need a Devil Site

Well Opus X sells for Crappy prices like these on the Devil's site; retards bid them up this high. Cigar.com always has the rarer Fuentes but sells them for 300% or so of retail. They actually do have the Prometheus BBMF/Royal8 sets at their suggested $100 retail price, which is rare for them..

The Opus X is worth retail price, and I will buy them when I can AT RETAIL.

heck NO! cigar.com would hide the existance of such lists. MilesMingusMonk on cigarpass.com compiled it. Moki who is a member here and there as well probably helped him quite a bit with the lists as well.

It should be noted these are suggested retail prices and do not include taxes; just because your brick and morter shop has them for 25% more doesn't mean they are jacking up the price that much.

Re: I guess this is why we need a Devil Site

Thanks for importing this list Matt! Those are, roughly, the prices I see when my favorite B&M has any of them in stock. The 858 Sungrown was $4.10.

Re: I guess this is why we need a Devil Site

ugh, what a ripoff. The Anejo is harder to come by than the opus. Good cigar, not worth what they charge.

I can get them at MSRP if anyone is interested. Already have 2 people taking me up on the offer.
