Perfecxion, Lost City, Reserva D'Chateau, LFMF?

1) Peter's advice is solid, just pick one. I've smoked 3 of the 4 vitolas you listed and I don't think it would make much of any difference which one you pick for the first time Opus X smoker.

2) You said "bidding". If you are looking at those cigars on cbid, I'd recommend you start calling around to B&M's before you bid. Opus Xes tend to close at exceptionally high prices. I'd start with Tampa Sweethearts, you might have to purchase a sampler of 6 cigars, 2 Opus Xes, 2 regular Fuentes and 2 of their TS cigars to get them, but you'll be getting the 6 for what the 2 on cbid would cost.

Agreed. When they are in stock locally, I can always get them cheaper than cbid.

Nothing local for me.. I may want to do the sampler deal better.. I will just have to break down and spend some money on these and decide for myself if they are worth the money, to me.

I went to three large B&M's last week all in the same day, I found the very same vitola OPUSX's ranging from 20 to 34 dollars! I also found some tins of three OPUSX's ranging from 55-68.00, the the employee said "they'd been here for a few years". I will get one or more next trip. I could pick something up for you Garryy if you don't have good luck on-line or local to you.

Those prices are double to quadruple the MSRP, if not more.

MSRP on Opus Xes is actually quite reasonable. $10 to $15 on the average, some vitolas are less, a few are more. Special/rare shapes can run higher.

Note, that state taxes are going to be on top of that, so depending on how oppressive your state is they can be significant, but, if you order from out of state you should not be charged it.

Out of curiousity, is there a list of MSRP of the more popular Opus X cigars?

Interestingly, when I typed "msrp opus x cigar" in to google, the first link had all the information.

"power ranger" xXx is the way to go if you are going to try the X or petite lancero.

WOW! I had no Idea. Everywhere I have looked online and B&M's have been 15.00 minimum. That was for a perfection#5 also...I bought one...
I have saw them for sale on here too and yet too see one near "MSRP".
The hunt is on.

Maybe a link if anyone find them for msrp and in stock.?
