Anyone have any information on these? Never knew this even existed until recently. Still kind of doubting its existence let alone it's availability.

    Even if they existed, I wouldnt pay the premium they will ask for it. Few reasons...

    If I was able to buy them, I doubt I can buy enough to age and smoke to even know when these cigars taste the best.

    They make soo many "limited" stuff now, its becoming a bit pathetic IMO. They are cashing in big time.

    I'd rather buy some Anejo Sharks instead for under $15 each.

    Swampgas, weather balloon, or the sun reflecting off of venus, deniable plausibility.

    Oh I'm guessing that stick would be worth every penny!

    Isnt it the Anejo Shark? I thought the diff between the Anejo and Opus was the wrapper, no?

    No. Blend is similar, but not exactly the same.

    I've never heard of an Opus Maduro Shark. To my knowledge there are only 4 sharks that have ever been released: Anejo Shark, Sand Shark, Opus X Shark, and Don Carlos Shark.

    That's correct only those 4 so far

    Don't sweat it. They don't exist :P


    Christian_Sapp:
    or any fuentes
    Fuente is easy to find brother! Heck, even CCom has Anejos at just over MSRP right now! Trust me, the prices that you see around this time of year are definitely worth jumping on.

    Best bet would be to contact Brooks at Smoking Stogie. He has a small stash of them. No idea if he'd trade, or whatever, but he has posted photos of them recently.

    If you ask him REALLY nicely you just might get something.
  • Christian_SappChristian_Sapp Posts: 441
    yeah but what would i have to give up to get them?

    If I had to guess? Dunhill's, Cuban Davidoffs, Diplomatic Cohibas, OR Opus, Robaina Farm Cigars, things on that level. Just did some research, and it looks like 200 or less were made of most of the actual Opus maduros.
  • lcpleellcpleel Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭
    i didnt have to give up alot to get the 2 robustos that i got but it took me a long time.
  • Christian_SappChristian_Sapp Posts: 441
    who did you trade with to get them? do they have them at casa fuente?
  • lcpleellcpleel Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭
    Casa fuente won't have them and the person I got them from is not a forum member. Plus the 2 I got was the only 2 that he had. I think I traded some of my isom EL's for them.
  • Christian_SappChristian_Sapp Posts: 441
    nice, yeah i guess i will jsut have to wait and if they ever come up they come up

    I habve seen pictures of the four, but only heard recently that there was also a Maduro version of the Opus x Shark. So that would make it five..three of them are very difficult to find. and expensive.
