Default Two per lifetime?

I know a lot of b&m's(usually ones you don't have a good relationship with)limit you to 2 per day on opus....Well I just saw someone say they were limited to two per lifetime! WTF-has anyone else seen something this silly before...I am coming around to thinking maybe this guy is a pathelogical liar, and just said what the heck, maybe this will catch everyone eye and I will get attention....

Two per lifetime? If they were as good as Opus whores on here claim, and worth the price they are sold for, that sounds about right.

That's insane! how do they even enforce a lifetime limit??? keep a database and check IDs?

but anyhow, when you hang around the right circles, (like CigarAsylum ) Opus really aren't that hard to find at fairly reasonable prices. just keep an eye on the WTT/WTS threads or I can send you some links to other buy/sell/trade places. There's always somebody unloading them.

I find that limit to be a bit unbelievable. Just my .02. I think you are right in calling BS on the person who said they were limited to that, I mean really had a place ever said something as ludicrous as that to me I would never ever step foot back into that establishment ever again and I believe I wouldn't be alone. That B&M would be having a going out of business sale before to long so the once in a lifetime thing wouldn't be to tough to follow.

So far, that's as many as I've smoked. And from the past two experiences, it may end up that I'll only smoke 2 in my lifetime.

But if this were real, I'd say if you can't buy them by the box, find a new B&M.

Buy as many Opus X as you can!

Two per lifetime sounds about right. I smoked 2, thought they were average at best and will never smoke another in my lifetime!

Good one. I would not pay more than $15 for an Opus. They can be a nice change and there are a few I can say were impressive, but nothing to make such a deal out of.

The Opus can be seen as the downfall of A. Fuente as well. They had a nice thing going with the Don Carlos and Hemingway series and both were well priced cigars. Hard to beat them before the Opus and all the hype to follow them since.
