Any shop with a good standing Padron account that orders a high enough dollar amount per year can order 1926/1964 lines. I understand from the rep that Padron 40th/80th are shipped to the higher dollar accounts first, since they're harder to come by (300 rolled per day I was told, one buncher/binder, one roller). However, as far as I can see, Padron doesn't really limit the number of people who can order, nor how much you order, as long as your money is good.




Opus is far more difficult for a shop to come by, because getting an account right now requires you to be put on a list and then when an account closes, they select a new one off the list. Getting on the list....I assume that means sell a lot of Fuente product, but I don't really know. No one is going to close an Opus account anyway, unless the shop closes or changes ownership and the new owners piss off Fuente.


Regardless, there are enough shops that carry Opus that you can find some somewhere at MSRP. Usually there are many helpful BOTLs that will sell some to you at cost if they have them locally.
