    Yes. They have been released a few times in Prometheus humidor releases. Best source of info on these that I know of now that vitolas.net is gone would be Brooks at www.smokingstogie.com . he has a small collection of Opus Maddys, and I'm sure could tell you all about them. I've been bugging him to review them for a while now.

    Man, I've never heard of a maduro Opus. Now I'm depressed I don't have one. :(

    I had a bbmf maduro on my honeymoon. I enjoyed it but would never pay 60 plus for it.

    Aside from the bbmfm there are some other, far rarer, one off type Opus X maduro releases, in regular sizes. I assumed those were what OP was talking about.

    Opus X Maduro Lancero - Opus X Maduro Super Belicoso - Opus X Maduro **** - are the ones that im looking for.

    I should note, I prefer the natural more. Sure the maduro is nice but I prefer the anejo over the opus x maduro. Yeah I've only had one and while I wasn't in the most relaxing and quite moments that I try to be in while enjoying a special cigar. If I ever get a chance to pick these up for under 20 or so i'll do so but like I said I won't pay extra for them. I do wish they would be more accesible.

    Good luck. Trade forums are pretty much the only place you're going to find that stuff, aside from the regular Casa Fuente releases, and whatever Prometheus has put out in the last year or so.

    Vitolas.net used to have a TON of rare Fuente stuff cataloged in a huge database (with photos), sadly, that is all gone now. Using archive.org, you can bring up the text still, but the images are gone until he gets the site back up and running (which is not seemingly going to happen any time soon...)

    I would love to get my hands on some of these. I would probably pay more than $20. Just to try them...

    you could always get one of them charity boxes, and you'll have some extras.

    I actually thought about getting one each year but I buy too many other cigars! Plus the $200 price increase isn't justified in my opinion and each year they are offering fewer and fewer maduros. I think the 2009 only had 1 - 2.

    Oh, totally forgot about this, but just remembered. The regular, old Opus Maduros have a different wrapper from the BBMF Maddy. The BBMF maddy is just the Anejo wrapper, minus the cognac barrel aging. The OR Opus Maduros have a regular Opus wrapper that has been maduro processed. Big difference from what I hear. Never smoked either though, so it's all hear-say.
