Fuente Opus X Shark
 

Ok, so I have seen a few of the OPUS X Sharks in the Opus 22 boxes before, sexy looking stick but out of my budget... So I was in a B&M in West Palm Beach today, that HAPPENS to be asylum members, and they recieved an Opus Shipment... and what do you know, the shipment contained several full boxes (regular production boxes, mind you, not LE) of "Opus X Perfection No. 77 Shark"...

I thought to myself... WHAT!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Anyways, I asked if they were selling them as singles and graciously the owner, none other than Mr. Abe "Ming" of Smoke Inn Fame, said he wanted to take a few sticks himself, so sure, open them up...

I grabbed one today, and am going to go back and grab another few tomorrow.

The question begs, has this cigar EVER been released as a production cigar and not as part of the limited humidors or the Opus 22 sets?

This is the same cigar as: http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?pos=-138

But with no red foot band. VERY interesting.

Thoughts?

What was the price point?

Re: Fuente Opus X Shark
 

W Taxes and all said and done it was about 18.50... high but worth it imho...

Re: Fuente Opus X Shark
 

Wow, only heard of these in boxes one time before. Strange that they're popping up all the sudden. Would be interested to see how many of these boxes are floating around.

Re: Fuente Opus X Shark

Posted by a member in the know on another site:

"Just got an email from a vendor, saying that they are going to have boxes of Opus X Love Affair, Magnum "O" and Sharks, all new sizes (and not cheap)...I was not aware that they were releasing the Sharks and Magnums as reg release"

Re: Fuente Opus X Shark
 

I can kinda confirm this as well... one of my favorite vendors is getting a box of Opus Love Affair. I thought it might be the Lost City release or the Love story since they are all close in size... I will report back when they make it in. :tu

I just placed an order for some of the sharks and love affair. I look forward to smoking one of each shortly after their arrival. A WOA Opus should be a nice smoke.:D

I managed to get some last night. I have half a box on hold for after payday.
