Unfortunately, thats the norm (two per person per day) set by Fuente at authorized shops for the Opus X..Never really had many problems finding any cigar I wanted except for a La Gloria Cubana (Habano) in Cancun...Had to go to seven or eight shops to find the real deal..Worth it though

You can find all the counterfeits on CA's website. They have a real good page all set up for that!

Still ahven't found those Aberdeen? I just got a box in the mail today! I'll have to bring one by your store.
Hardest cigar to find would have to be the Anejo's. Thanks Berry... Did you find any more? I found a place for Opus X and PAdron Ann., but no Anejo's.

Keep on Herfin...

As of this date, I STILL haven't found an Anejo. I found OpusX, Padron 1964, Ashton VSG (not that hard to find), Don Carlos, Hemmingway, but no Anejo.

I didn't say I didn't find any, only hardest to find, so to make it easier I simply bought the company, only cost me a mortgage on the house.

I would agree, the rarest and, as I have discovered, hardest to find is the Fuente Anejo. These have all but vanished. I have searched high and low for another box, and have found zip, zero, Not a damn one!!

Other then legit cubans, the Fuente Anejo. My understanding of the situation is that about 6-8 weeks ago a few shops got 1 box. That's it. And I understand there are no more in the immediate future that will be made available.

I would say Don Thomas. People tell me they are good but I'll be damned if I could find one that didn't taste like camel dung. Where do these mysterious quality cigars hide? My second choice would be the Romeo Y Juliette domincan Vintage series for the same reasons as above. Help me!! The cigars are sooo elusive.

I know. My attempt (obviously feable) was to knock the cigars mentioned. I failed.

Anejo is available on Yahoo auction for about$20/cigar. Good cigar but not at that price. My rarest cigar is a Cuban handmade in the Menedez factory dating back to 1960. Probably unsmokable but still feels good to the touch even ifit has no odor of it's own anymore. Also have a cigar rolling table from this factory (Montecristo -1950's) Hardest to find cigar though is no doubt the Padron Millenium.

a stick of Cubatobacco 25th Anniverserios. It was produced in 1986 and only 100 boxes were produced. It is estimated that less than twenty boxes survive now.

Got the ANejo, got the Opus A in the coffin, got a Padron Anniv Millenium, got a 79' Monte "A" covered in plume......Don't have a pre-embargo Monte #2.....That would be my choice.
