Depends on what I'm doing. If I'll be in one place a long time, I'll take a larger smoke, if I just want a nice little short one, the smaller size will do.

The only size I'm not wild about is the "A" size. Just uninteresting in terms of flavors IMHO.

The Belicosos are very nice smokes... a little less spicy than some of the smaller sizes, but still very enjoyable IMHO.

I like the opus A's the least also.
The beli and perf. X's are $17 each. Seem fair or high?

That's not too bad a price. A little steep but then they're hard to find at MSRP

MSRP for the Super Belicoso: $11.50
MSRP for the Perfecxion X: $11.50

That doesn't take into account your state's tobacco tax... some of them are extreme. So depending on where you live, that's probably still a bit high, but not ridiculous.

I like the xXx as well. The perfexion works for me too.

New shop in town has higher prices but usually has stuff available and no limit

Box of perfexion #5 $670/42sticks = 15.95 each

Ah, there we go... now that is double the MSRP heh. What is the tobacco tax in your state?

 

[Robbmt]

10%

Not too bad

 

[moki]

10%

Not too bad

yeah, except that this tobacconist seems to be engaged in Opus gouging... :/ Either that or they are not authorized Fuente dealers, and are reselling boxes they purchased for retail price.

Even though I tend to like larger cigars, I'll second Lumby's vote for:

Fuente Fuente

however I still maintain that all Opus' are too overpriced for what they are

That's what I said about your sister!

But seriously, I don't consider the MSRP to be overpriced:

That's about in line with the Padrón 1964 line's MSRP... they are both EL cigar lines.

 

[gawntrail]

I like the Robusto.......Short and Fat (just like me).

And someone on here says they are $10.50 each (no state tobacco tax)

I'll be ordering when the 4 I've got left are gone!

Here is what I've paid in the past 2 weeks or so:

Robusto
5 1/4 x 50 10.50

#2
6 3/8 x 52 13.50

Double Corona
7 5/8 x 49 14.50

Fuente Fuente
5 5/8 x 46 8.50

Super Beli
5 5/8 X 54 11.50

 

[Robbmt]

$10.50 is more like what I pay at the other shops but when they have them they have a limit 2-4 depending...

That's true. But I'm at MLT once a week so I pick up what I can then.
