I believe they're being released right about now. My local B&M is supposed to have some this week.
And I'd consider them worth up to about $20. They are smooth, creamy and rich.

I love Opus Xs and would gladly pay msrp for them. Sadly, I never see them marked at msrp. Usually they are in the $25-$35 range depending on size. My neighborhood shop has a several boxes right now but I think the cheapest they had were about the size of a petit corona and cost $25.
Let me repeat that. a petit corona for $25 ![]() |

I love Opus and when I first started smoking them, I didn't know any better about buying them. We have 1 local B&M on Island and it's the # 1 travel destination in the US again. $$$$$
I was in Singapore in May. Found a shop at the Hyatt and he had a full box of Opus #4's and wanted $2000.00 US for the box. Did I buy, no. Do some home work and figure out where to buy Opus if you like Opus, I did. ![]()

I have only smoked a few,but I didn't think they were anything to write home about. I wouldn't pay $35 a stick .

For MSRP, yes. For my money and ease to find, I prefer a Diamond Crown Maximus in the same price point.

A Super Beli with some age on it is something to behold.

As far as if they are worth trying? Sure, anything is worth a try if you can afford it. Just do not pay 25+ for them.

Have not tried one yet, and will not until I see one at a reasonable price. I've only been smoking cigars for a year, and there's way too many affordable smokes out there to try.

OpusX is a fine, special occasion, smoke.
They can be found at/near msrp online. They are limited release, and some vendors mark them up to reflect the scarcity. I know several local b&ms that sell them in the $9-$18 range, before sales tax, but they limit the number that can be purchased each day. If I lived closer to said b&ms, I'd have more. But, as it is, I've accumulated well over a dozen, since starting smoking cigars 4 yrs ago. I probably smoked an equal number to those that I have aging. I gave my brother a xXx last New Years Eve, and it kicked his butt. ![]() I like the smaller sizes, too. They're also the most affordable. They make xlnt gifts for those that will appreciate them. Definitely try them, but don't overpay for them. Chemyst ![]() |

I'm with you on the Maximus, One of the best smokes I've had this year. As far as Opus goes I haven't smoked one that I've liked yet. I enjoyed a $3.00 5 vegas Miami last night more than the $16.00 fuente fuente Opus X from 2 nights ago.

Fresh, I hate them, but with some age on them they are great. Smoked one not too long ago that I had in the humi for three years and it was one of the best cigars I ever smoked. Whenever I buy Opus I never buy with the intention of smoking right of way.
