Exactly, a Wizard is always right...even when he is not!






They are all made in the Fuente factory but the brand is still run by the Levins.

Sorry, I believe there should have been an, at or by in the last part of that sentence.

That looks tasty. Nice and dark.

Im taking another run at the CAO Flathead 660. Liking it better this time around. Definitely best from middle third. Earthy with maybe a little sweetness.
Great Friday night vibe.

It’s a really good stick.

I’ve been wanting to try that flathead. You’ve got a nice place to smoke.

Those are pretty good. It’s been awhile but iirc when I had a box a couple of years ago Some pepper in the first third. The chocolate that is there is very dark, like coco nibs but not very sweet. Good draw and smoke though. Less subtle and more in your face is what I remember . A nice out by the fire winter smoke.

Damn!

Damn!

I’m thinking I’m gonna go, but how much do I need to expect those to cost, you reckon?

If you're local, you have to go. I have no idea what they will cost at an event like that. I've paid as much as $40 a cigar for them on the open market.

I work in Asheville, live 25 miles away, so yeah I’m pretty local. lol

I love Opus X. I wouldn't be able to control myself at an event like that.

Please, keep us apprised. If they’re a steal, buy me a box. I’ll drive up to meet you, bring cash to reimburse you for the smokes, and buy you lunch for your troubles.

What would a “steal” be?

What would a “steal” be?

Anything less than $25 a stick is gold but frankly, its just the ability to get them at all. Usually $40+ a stick - but even then, you can't get a box unless its at one of these events, etc.

 

[Tin Man]

What would a “steal” be?

Like Gandalf said, ~$25 a stick. Post what you find. I’ll keep an eye on this thread. I’m good for what I say. VolNExile and JoeVol33 have met me in person and can vouch for my character.

Long ago, when cable TV was largely shared antenna systems, 10:10pm was the time college students put down their studies and partied. My latest cigar cutter features a clock face set to 10:10…

Anticipating possible Opus X news, I’ve lit an Oliva O maduro.

We'll need a pic of that cutter.

Very cool.

Casablanca opens at 10am, so I’ll go in the morning and I’ll update with the details. I don’t mind purchasing for others, just don’t want to get caught holding the bag (or in this case, box).

 

[Regulator]

They've updated that post to say it will be sometime after 5pm tomorrow.

@Regulator, I’m going to ride my bicycle this morning. I will check in after I’m done.
