Opus X A

I just checked out the auction...22.80 shipping cost is for USPS Express mail ( basically USPS Next Day Air Service)... It was $8.05 for Priority (2-3 days)...and $7.95 for parcel post (2-9 dayys)
 
Oh, then I guess it really isn't bad then. I though he was trying to tack an extra 15-18 bucks on the shipping, to add to his pocket.
 
$45 for an Opus A - damn how many do you want!
Joking - kind of - If I have any I got 1 or 2.
I thought they were $25 at Holts.
 
I've never found an Opus X A For under $75

as far as the age of opus x brand this blurb is taken directly from cigar.com's description...

"The Fuente OpusX is one of the rarest cigars in the world. It is elusive to almost every smoker because of its limited production. Prior to 1990 the Dominican Republic was well know for its filler and binder tobacco. Growing wrapper tobacco on the island proved impossible due to the topography of the land and the wind. The wrapper is a vital component of any cigar as it contributes to most of the flavor. Carlos Fuente Jr. set out on a mission to be the first cigar maker in the Dominican Republic to successfully grow wrapper tobacco. With the help of cheesecloths to protect the tobacco from the elements, the first successful crop was turned out in 1992. This wrapper is matched with unparalleled vintage tobaccos for its filler and binder and was the first Dominican puro (all Dominican cigar) on the market. "
 
I was aware of the crop being in 1992 but I thought it was a little while longer before the cigar was actually released. So this A must be one of the original releases. If that's the case, then this is a pretty good deal.
