Finally!!!!!!!!

bruceolee · 11-23-2009, 04:03 PM

My long lost dream has come true!! I've spent 32 years on this forsaken earth trying to figure out what my purpose was. Today, I found that purpose.

Maybe now I will be remembered for something.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you OPUS X ALTERNATIVES!!!!!!

If you would have had a little more patience and kept reading you would have also discovered the Macanudo Aletrnative!

I've been smoking alternatives to Macanoodles for years - they're called cigars.

They sell rolled up newspaper filled with grass clippings?

Those are way over MSRP.

How long until they get sued for using the letter 'X' in their cigar?

Or how bout OPUS? I don't think the Fuente's will take kindly to someone producing and naming a cigar the "opus X" Alternative.... Without thier permission.

We'll just let the Supreme Court decide life and death issues like that.

Won't be the first time a cigar co has gotten their peepee's slapped by the Fuente's in court.

I had an "Opus X" alternative about a year ago. The owner of the B&M wanted me to try it, and claimed that the only difference was the price. The "Fauxpus" wasn't bad -- and had a pretty band -- but I'm not sure I would put it in Opus category.

GreekGodX · 11-24-2009, 04:47 AM

Very interesting. If they are close to a realy opus x then there will be some happy smokers. I wouldn't put my money on it tho.

Why do they make Carlito cry?

cort · 11-25-2009, 02:45 PM

Box split??

gettysburgfreak · 11-26-2009, 02:49 PM

sounds like a load of crap to me but I am sure there will be people out there who believe these will actually taste like a $20 cigar.

11-29-2009, 09:03 PM

These are the same asshats that have real Opus Perf. #5's for $29 bucks. That's almost triple retail.

And the sad part; look at their best seller list on the left column.
Man, how do these guys sleep at night.

I don't necessarily disagree with the opinions posted. However, it's not in the best interests of our community to allow retailers to bash other retailers. If we do, we open ourselves up to a flame war which the admin team has no desire to deal with.
