Default Christmas Opus are in

the next round of Opus X are out. I just walked into my B&M and the delivery guy dropped them off. All sizes, including the Opus A and the tin three packs were in the shipment. I usually get an Opus A for Christmas as a gift for myself then toss it in my locker for a few years, but since my bday is Wednesday, I might have to light it up as I take the afternnon off.

TX is part of the western distribution. you will probably see them within a day or two. we will probably see them at the end of the week.

Not the best IMO... I like to let them rest, if you have 3 years that is my preference, but a min 6 months would be decent!

Both Holt's locations in Philly have them as long as you don't mind the drive . The NE Philly location had the Petit Lancero when I was there last week , it's one of my favorite Opus .

Beat me to the punch. 3 years seems to be my magic number too. This is just my preference but I would try not to smoke them if they are not at least a year old. It's hard trust me. I scored a 5er of Power Rangers and 5er of Super Belis a couple months ago and it's tough opening that draw and not yanking one out. Smoked an Opus over the summer that had at least three years of age on it and it was the best damn smoke I ever had. Many people like them fresh so if you have never had one try it but make sure you have an extra to lay down for a year and a year from now smoke that one. I guarantee you too will prefer them with some age.

Sounds good. Had my first Opus a few weeks ago and it had almost 4 years on it.

Best damn cigar I've ever had. Might try one of these after a month on it or so just to compare. I've got three more that were gifted to me that have 3+ years on them.

Need to get a box one day and let them rest.

got the call a short while ago that a local got them. their prices suck so i'm not getting any. they got PL's, DC's and SB and wanted 10$ over MSRP for them. i'll wait till a few other shops get theirs.

Can someone post a quick MSRP list of the current opus line? I did a search on CA and google and couldn't find anything.

Thanks!
