I bought a box of Fuente Fuente for 14.50 a stick at our local shop. Seems high?
Should I let them sit for a year? After sitting does quality go down after some point in time.
(years)

Thanks for input
 
Quality will never go down with the Opus X line ;) . I'd say try a couple to see how they are fresh. Then lay the rest down to sleep for about 2-3 years. They will be more mellow and not as strong. Be sure to take notes so you can compare the difference. :thumbs:
 
Yep, it seems a little on the high side :( They can usually be had for under $10.00 a stick.

The Fuente Fuentes are probably my favorite Opus X

I don't have the patience to let them sit, I say SMOKE 'EM NOW ;)

I've had some from 1997 -- they mellow out a bit, and become more complex, like most cigars -- whether that means they go down in quality or not depends on your tastes.

I concur with the posts here; try one now, so you know what they are like fresh... then save some for a while if you wish.
 
My girlfriend just picked me up a box of No.5's. I think she paid $340.00..... Is that a good price?

Also, I plan on letting them rest for a few years. The box wrapped in plastic..... should I leave it on or take it off the box?

I concur, they are fake -- send them to me for authentication.

That's a good price; MSRP would be $315 -- and that's without tobacco and sales tax (the box comes with 42 sticks in it).

Nice score man.

Andrew....does it matter if I leave the plastic wrap on the box for long term storage? I suppose it's just for shipping purposes.

I might matter slightly (very slightly) if you were to re-sell it -- but if I were you, I'd open it up just to inspect the cigars... and take a nice whiff.

The infamous cello on, cello off debate.... :sign: :sign:

Hehehehe

Moki's right though. Some folks don't like getting sticks without the cello. Personally, I don't smoke the cello or the band for that matter! LOL
 
What's an Opus X and why are people always so concerned with them?

I think he's talking about the plastic wrapped around the box. I'd take it off ;)

I think he was talking about the shrinkwrap on the entire box of Opus, not the cello on individual sticks...
 
Considering the only online price listed on CigarPrice was $850 (YOWZAH!!!),
I'd say your girlfriend is a great shopper!!! :thumbs:

Do not buy Opus X cigars online -- they come from non-authorized Fuente dealers who jack the prices to the moon. Do not feed that stray dog.
