OPUS X @ J&R Stores

[DJYoshi]

Just got back from a trip to J&R. My boy that works there called me b/c they got an EARLY shipment of Opus X sticks. The store in East Hanover, NJ got 6 boxes in..... they only get them in 2 times a year...and they only allow 2 per person on the sale....you might wanna give your local J&R a call if you've got one by you

Did not know JR has an Opus X account. Is this new?

[DJYoshi]

i didn't know until my boy told me. They get them in twice a year USUALLY...
Father's Day
The Holiday's..
he's hoping this was just a teaser shipment and they still get their father's day shipment

pricing?

Old Virginia tobacco company has them for an average of $13.00 per stick. I was about to order a couple.

I called and they don't have any in stock. Think this is just the web page saying that they do get them - not that they've received a shipment, which they have not.

I went to the local JR on Sat and picked up 5 each of Perf #4, Perf#5, Fuente Fuente, and Reserva d Chateau.

Price is regular MSRP. I think the Perf #4&5 are around 9.50-10, the FF were $10.50 and the reservas were around 14.

This is not a rare event for JR to get them. I purchased some last Sept. They had them again in Dec. and then again this past weekend. They also had some tins as well.

I think maybe certain J&R's get them in the region??? But they don't advertise that they do. they just get em and sell them to their loyal customers..but they didn't even have a sign or anything yesterday. just had them in the "manager's case".... needed a manager to open the humi they were in...and perfect. the store I go to got 6 boxes in. 3 sizes.... and only sold 2 per customer. going back today to get 2 more... then hopefully they'll have the big boy for me when I go back wednesday!

Last 2 times at the local JR, there has been no limit.

For you DC/Va/Md BOTLs, the JR in downtown DC has them. Limit of 5 or the tin plus 2 singles.

Yeah, I found out when I tried to order them I guess they don't think much of updating their site..

Dang, and I thought I had found a deal too....

Newlife,you wouldn't happen to have their number so I can call them would you? I just can't bring myself to pay $33 a stick on the net.
