Genetlemen I need some help gauging whether or not I can get a deal on a full box of Opus X or if the pricing I can get them for is too much (not from here). I need real info please, not guesses or "about this much"...I am looking at buying 1 full box of ONE of the following, I haven't decided which yet
Opus X robusto
Opus X Perfecxion #2
Thanks.

You will not be able to get a deal on here as good as you would through a B&M on these sticks. The difficulty will be in getting a full box. If you want, I could make a call to a manager at a B&M I go to on occasion an see if there is anything I can do...PM me if you want, as I dont want to hurt any rep's feelings or anything here as we all love the site.

This isn't a how much you can get them for as much as info so you know what MSRP is.
Robusto (5 ¼" x 50) ............................... MSRP = $12.00 x 29 per box = $348.00
Perfecxion No.2 (6 3/8" x 52) .................. MSRP = $15.00 x 29 per box = $435.00
The cheapest I found and paid for the #2 was $18 but that was at a local B&M. The cheapest I found them (but are out of stock) is $17. -
The robusto runs $13 a stick here at my B&M. They don't allow purchase of an entire box though so that's kind of out the window.

why are the sticks so much more than msrp on cigar.com?

Supply and demand...its not just here almost everywhere...Christian_Sapp:why are the sticks so much more than msrp on cigar.com? -
Christian, C.Com adds a pricing statement on the product page that states due to the exclusivity of this cigar, and in order to make it more available to as many people as possible, there is a three stick limit, and I would guess the price will help to do this as well. I found that B&Ms have much better pricing, but will sell out in a very short time which means I was spending a lot of time shopping these. Buying them here ( or similar online retailers ), I spent a few dollars more, but saved a lot of time.Christian_Sapp:why are the sticks so much more than msrp on cigar.com? -

Found this for MSRP, even though what you paid is higher than this msrp, I still think you'd be hard pressed to find that pice because on top of MSRP you would have any taxes on tobacco etc

Hey Raschnuts, That is the best price I have ever seen on the #4. I think you got a great deal there.
-
Here is a link to a review of an Opus X Perfecxion #2, if you scroll down, read through the comments and discussion on pricing...interesting read LINK
-
Best price I found on a pwr ranger was like 580 or something like that. Of course it was out of stock and when it was in stock I was broke.

B&Ms are definitely the only place you're going to find Fuente special releases anywhere near MSRP. There are a couple of store fronts that sell online also that have pretty good prices (Power Rangers for 13$), but they rarely have any stock.

that right there is my favorite Vitola of OpusX.RaschNuts:so i was at the local mall tonight which has a magazine shop with a walk-in. I went in to see what they had and came across these Opus X #4's only paid $11. wanted to confirm that this was a good deal and if i can i should grab more?
i only have a 2 of those left. my B&M just got their shipment in and they didnt get in any No.4s
BAH!!
that is a good deal. -
I have terrible luck finding any at brick and morters plus my home state has the highest cigar tax rate. So I hunt online for any reasonable opus x prices. Any body that has good sources please shoot me a pm.
-
One of my b&ms seems to always have tons in stock but there prices are outrageous. Even the most common viotolas are $30 plus.

I have never purchased Opus X smokes here in Houston. Prices are outrageous!! Each Opus is $25 and up to $35! Or Similar to ccom prices. Yes they are rare and limited quantities (i think), but I get them for a lot less.

Here's a little blurb on this
Some of the pricing on the Opus is probably due to the fact that retailers are awarded with Opus accounts by Fuente. If a store does not have an Opus account they buy them from a store with an account for $14 a stick. However, when they take them back to sell at their store they still need to make a profit thus the markup to $25+. I have seen this as the case several times over.
Opus X isn’t supposed to be an expensive cigar. If you find places online that sell them for more than the MSRP, chances are they ARE NOT obtaining them from Fuente directly. Most likely, they are purchasing them at retail and marking them up. Fuente does not allow gouging on the Opus, if you get them from Fuente. Also, it’s not right to say that a store only gets an Opus acct after selling a ton of lower end Fuentes. We got our Opus acct shortly after getting a regular Fuente acct. We didn’t sell too much before that happened. But to be fair, this was over 10 years ago.
