WOW! I've seen them at there lowest for 20 a piece, At it's highest 35 a piece in chicago. If I could get Opus for 12 a piece it would be all I would smoke everyday.

Your looking at the wrong shops in Chicagoland. Need to head into the suburbs to get the MSRP.

Haven't seen them lower than $23 here in town, needless to say I don't buy them around here.

The only shops around here that carry Opus are asking about $30 for a robusto, which I think is the cheapest of the ones they stock.


Absurdly high, so I find connections and get lucky here and there with some good deals to get mine.

That's a great price! Here, in CA, they'll cost you a lot more cuz of the taxes and gouging factors. I can usually get mine in the mid to high teens. I've also seen them priced in the 20's.

My B&M is a few dollars over MSRP. I think the #5 is $11-$12, and the #2 is $19.

$35 for #4's.

However ran into a place that just devided what they paid for the holiday sampler by the number of cigars. Walked out with both the #2's from the sampler for $11/piece!

In Philly the Perf. #4 is under $9.

I bought the #4 tin for $43 2-3 yrs. ago, and the
robusto tin was $40 last Xmas, including sales taxes.

Holts charges msrp for everything Fuente. Just add
PA and Philly sales taxes. They even treat a 'little
guy' like me the right way. But, they have a daily
limit on most of the htf sticks. Unfortunately, I live
an hour away, and just make a few trips each year.

I hope to get a box of Hemi maduros sometime this year.
Probably during the year-end holiday season, if available.
Last Xmas they had boxes of Hemi BTLs for $325.

At Father's Day they had lots of WOAMs for $8.50 ea.

That's a nice price on WOAM. I thing we're around $10 on those. Fuente did have a small price increase in addition to the SCHIP increase of .40 per stick. So the average selling price on Opus probably went up somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.00-1.25 per stick over what they were pre-SCHIP.

Most of the B&M's here in AZ tend to have them at MSRP with a strict limit of 2 per person.

I know of one shop that ALWAYS has them but they are 1-2 dollars over.
