Can someone please send me the number/name to a good BM around you that is selling Opii (plural for opus) at a reasonable price? (MSRP or at least close to it)?

"Opii (plural for opus) "

No, it's not, in fact it's not even a word in the English language.

The plural for Opus is Opuses, the proper pluralization for "Opus X" would be "Opus Xes"

Now that that's out of the way. Unfortunately, I can't really help you on the MSRP thing as they are very hard to find out here at MSRP.

1. "A" (9 ¼" x 47) ...................................... MSRP = $25.00 x 20 per box = $500.00 (released 1998)

2. Double Corona (7 5/8" x 49) ................... MSRP = $15.00 x 32 per box = $480.00 (released 1995)

3. Reserva D'Chateau (7" x 48) ................... MSRP = $13.00 x 32 per box = $416.00 (released 1995)

4. Perfecxion No.2 (6 3/8" x 52) .................. MSRP = $14.00 x 29 per box = $406.50 (released 1995)

5. Perfecxion X (6 ¼" x 48) ......................... MSRP = $12.00 x 32 per box = $384.00 (released 1998)

6. Petit Lancero (6 ¼" x 39) ........................ MSRP = $10.00 x 32 per box = $320.00 (released 1995, changed to tapered head in late 1997)

8. Super Belicoso (5 5/8" x 52) .................... MSRP = $12.00 x 29 per box = $348.50 (released 1999)

9. Fuente Fuente (5 5/8" x 46) ................... MSRP = $9.50 x 32 per box = $304.00 (released 1995)

10. Robusto (5 ¼" x 50) ............................... MSRP = $11.00 x 29 per box = $319.00 (released 1995)

11. Perfecxion No.4 (5 3/16" x 43) ................ MSRP = $8.75 x 42 per box = $367.50 (released 1998)

12. Perfecxion No.5 (4 7/8" x 40) .................. MSRP = $8.00 x 42 per box = $336.00 (released 1995)

13. xXx aka "Power Ranger" (4 5/8" x 49) ..... MSRP = $9.25 x 42 per box = $388.50 (released 1998)

MSRP does not include state sales tax, nor state tobacco tax, the latter of which can be quite significant.

I'm assuming Post 4 is joking around.

Opus is Latin for "Work", as in a piece of work.

Plural ia "opera"

kms, OpusX is a brand name, and as such its plural wouldn't be opera. OK, maybe OperaXX...

kms,

No, I was dead seroius about the fact that finding those cigars at MSRP around here is virtually impossible.

nirv - sorry I would love to help, but all the BM's near me have sold out. They were all out of stock 2-3 days after shipment. They sell at about $1-2 over MSRP.

I think one store MAY have the Fuente Fuente size - but I don't think it's worth it for 10-11 bucks.

Let me know at Christmas time.

Don't forget the anejos should be coming out in the next few weeks for Father's Day.

Doesn't the 'Retail Price' part of MSRP imply inclusion of state tobacco tax? I've seen sales tax both ways; included in sticker or added at register. But, I don't think I've ever shopped in a B&M that tried to throw tobacco tax on after pricing cigars.

I usually get it added on after the price.

I stopped in a local I don't usually frequent today. They were selling the Opus X Robusto for $40. That's just robbery.

"Doesn't the 'Retail Price' part of MSRP imply inclusion of state tobacco tax? "

No, how could it? Why would Fuente, or any manufacturer for that matter, produce a list of MSRPs that included state tobacco taxes when basically every state has a different tobacco tax rate?

Here's a list of state tobacco tax rates, it's really f-ed up. In most states it's a percentage of the wholesale price, while in others it's a percentage of the manufacturers price, while for others still it's a per quantity tax, and then there are still some additional ways to compute tax used by a few other states.
