the new FFOX Destino al Siglos
Are these worthwhile? Different wrapper (sun grown Habano instead of Corojo) would have a big difference on the flavor profile. I would love an opinion from anyone who ahs tried them, I was considering buying some lanceros

Hrm....an aged Opus ROTT? I've never heard that. Now you have me thinking.
I have several but I never want to smoke a fresh Opus. At their price tag I just dont want to kick myself saying "damn it, I should have let it age". So I'm also curious what others opinions are.
Now on a side note, I did smoke a Angels Share Lancero a few weeks ago. I dont know all their history or even the differences between the blends. But it tasted VERY fresh. That thing absolutely fucked me up. I couldn't even finish the final third. I definitely prefer full bodied flavor, but the nicotine was just off the hook. I was still spinning after I got home from my buddies house(4 miles away). :)

Be sure and make deposits in all areas of your life, because at some point you will need to make a withdraw. No deposits are more important than those made in relationships.

the normal FFOX are pretty strong imo but they are good. I think they would age well. I bit the bullet and bought two of them (singles), will try one fresh.

Did you get your fair price you were asking about?

No, the only people willing to sell me anywhere near MSRP were only willing to sell me a fiver when I wanted a box or two to give as gifts.
For the FFOX looks like I need to establish a relationship with a B&M as online tends to be ridiculous. I will give online one last try on the next FFOX release as I found some new stores willing to be abit more reasonable about the markup over MSRP. I do understand FFOX has a low suggested markup over wholesale, but at least come close to MSRP - some of the listed prices are outrageous. I've had them, they are good, but they are not THAT good. $25+ a stick is highway robbery when MSRP is closer to $10-$12 and that includes some markup already. I am tempted to simply travel to a certain island via a third party nation and bring back a bunch of authentic cigars. The FFOX craze is defintiley an American thing and I travel outside of the country alot.
