Default Opus X release dates.

Guys,

I had a friend of mine ask a question as to at what times during the year are Opus X's released to retailers, any idea? I thought it was around Father's Day and Christmas but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated.

I heard the one down the block from me got them in April which is how the discussion started. Maybe it is regionally released at different times?

I think the Opus are released throughout the year. The Anejos I believe are/used to be released only a couple times a year. That could have all changed.

Whenever I ask the 2 B&M's close by to me when they get shipments, they both say the same thing "We don't know...we get them when we get them". I do know Anejo's get a shipment in around X-Mas time usually. Opus X's I have no idea other than around Father's Day.

Quarterly on the Opus X, usually, but check with local B&M!

I know Anejos are supposed to be out for Father's Day, but for the life of me, they are cutting it close, cause none of the B&Ms near me have any.

Yeah, seriously.
Doesn't look like there's gonna be any Anejo's for Father's Day, and I haven't got any emails from Darlene the Cigar Girl.
Someone call her and see what she says.

I got one once, but I don't know if it was released or it escaped, so I can't help you.

That is typically how things have worked in the past. If you had a Opus X account, you received the "special" stuff when they send it to you. There is no ordering for it. I have heard that things might be changing soon, but as far as I know Fuente ships stuff to where he wants, when he wants.

You will pretty much see a LOT of good stuff around Father's day and X-mas though cuz those are a couple of cigar holidays.

Haven't seen her around in a while. I miss the... um... banter she was famous for with Icehog.

My locals are stocked year round, but it's probably due to the price.
