Bought box of Opus X cigars for $211

Today I bought 25 Opus X Robusto cigars (from box of 29...4 were already sold when I bought the rest of the box) for only $211...that's only $8.44 a stick! They're selling on the internet for $30+ a piece and I bought them at my local golf course of all places. When did they start selling Opus X cigars?

Just out of curiosity, what were the storage conditions like at the golf course?

Re: Bought box of Opus X cigars for $211

A few weeks ago I was at a golf course in Florida and in the club house they had a few La Gloraia Cubanas just sitting on top of the soda fridge in a plastic box. I went and felt them and they were like rocks. Not to mention they were asking 9 bucks a stick.

They were in a glass display humidor. I checked the digital temp and humi gauge and it read 71 degrees and 69% humidity. I even did a pinch test and they were just right not spongy or hard as a rock.

Man RJT, I didn't think anyone was a bigger Opus whore than me. Don't worry. I think more Opus should be hitting stores soon. I've heard from more than one source now that Opus should be available at the end of this month to early March.

Oddly, I've seen a few boxes start popping up around here, already. Although they may have been some buried stock, I'm guessing they are new. My focus is on Father's day, Anejos won't slip through my fingers this time around. Missed all, but the Holiday Collection in Dec.

Re: Bought box of Opus X cigars for $211

It pays to look in unusual places.. About a year ago Raney got a full box of Anejo 77 sharks, and a box of 55 Torps for around $150 each from a newsstand as I recall.. However he shared his!

Congrats on the find.
