What’s this Fuente worth?
Hey all!
I’m just curious what this beautiful cigar is worth in 2024? I recently acquired it through a friend and I am interested what collectors think about it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
happy smoking,
Bearded

A single Big B can be had for around $80. In that dress box I'm unsure but for most that box adds no value. You asked about its worth. I would say it's worth smoking. Worth is subjective. I think I speak for some, if not most of us when I say that it would be left on a shelf if it was priced at $30-$40. Keep it forever as a collectible or enjoy it as intended by smoking it while it still has flavor.

This is a 2013 limited edition Big B, would that make a difference? Still deciding whether to smoke it or not lol

Do you know how you would sell it?

Some “collectors” care and will pay a premium for age. You are in the wrong place for that. OLH, if you know you know if you don’t I wish you luck on getting what you think you can for it.

If that cigar is still being offered today..... that box is limited.... the cigar is not.

That’s a question for someone who cares to ask. I am not that person, opus is not on my radar. Also as stated OLH is where to go to get the most out of it.

I guess I’m really just trying to assess what I have.

@Patrickbrick mentioned OLH. That is an acronym for a website I am not familiar with. @Rdp77 can you help?

I wish people would understand the cigar world better.
I also wish that people would just say, "Hey. I have this cigar. I'd like to sell it. I don't know what it's worth. Make me an offer." They should, of course, add the condition of the cigar and how it's been stored.
Most people post asking what it's worth as a veiled way of saying, "I want to sell this but I don't want to sell it for less than it's actually worth, so tell me what it's worth so I know how much to ask for it."
Just smoke it, and be done with it.

Not sure you want me to go into it. I tend to hurt feelings.

Smoke the damn thing! Preferably, with some good whiskey 🤙🏼. End of discussion.
Regarding a cigar, the pipe and the open road, go forward without hurry, learn the essence of things through frequent experiences, taking advantage of every occasion.

Never once mentioned I was going to sell it! I’m just more curious of what I got myself into when I got it from a friend. Nothing veiled about it seems like a great collectors item!

Ok, that was the short version.
There are people out there that truly enjoy the flavors of a musty basement and for those people fuente is a great thing. But the vast majority of people buy them solely on hype. They’re probably the most overly hyped brand on the market and they artificially create circumstances to create rarity and raise prices.If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

Would Fuentes be like the Ford of cigars? Anyways it’s cool to have as a collectors item I’ll just stick with my tabernacles.
