Any you guys out there have access to the opus line at your B&M? Looking to buy some at reasonable prices. I live in NY where cigar tax is 75%, no that's not a typo! Any help would be appreciated.

My one shop had some two weeks ago. Haven't been in since. However, I was there three weeks in a row to get my daily limit of one and I swear the only ones missing were the ones I bought the week prior. As mentioned, I'd only be able to get one a day and the shop is kinda out of my way so it would depend on how many you were looking for. Let me know if I can help.

The "better" shop I go to is 40 minutes away and the boxes are empty every single time. With a sign that says "Opus boxes not for sale."

They have a members only cigar lounge and I think they may be offering to members first maybe. I guess if you can afford to spend the $200 a month to be able to sit in a leather chair in front of a flatscreen to smoke then you can probably buy out the Opus X smokes.

Only luck I had getting some Opus X was my awesome wife snagging me the last 2012 Holiday Collection they had for Christmas.

All three, well two now, of my locals have sitting areas. No charge for any of them. Can't beat southern hospitality.

Even at a $.50cent per cigar tax, instead of a percentage, tha average price in MI is about $15 - 20 each. Depending on size. Was in a local not to long ago that had 7 or 8 boxes unopened. If you're interested at that price point, I can check sizes and prices.

Damn Justin your wife is awesome. I told my wife I wanted the opus 22 and she laughed. So, I bought it anyway. Thanks everyone for your help.

They have em at mine (like $16)..They have Lost Citys too ($30 or $31).. They usually have a section of HTF or overly expensive sticks..Not sure on box sales but I haven't seen any limit signs..

If I remember correctly I think my B&M has them from about $14-18 and they usually have plenty in stock.
