Woam

[wasy]

I'm under the assumption that AF releases the WOAM and Between the Lines for Xmas and Fathers Day is that correct? If so how limited is the release? I smoked a WOAM the other night as was impressed, I'd love have a shot at picking up some more. Would a good quality B&M likely get their hands on some? Any help or advise is appreciated.

A local B&M around here indicated that around father's day a lot of the more sought after Fuente stuff will be coming back, but not until then. I don't know if this is the case for everyone.

I suppose I should know this, but when's Father's day again?

Things like tha WOAM and BTL will be out duing those two times. My local shops get much more of those kinds of cigars at Christmas. Each store will get several boxes of Anejo and maduro Hemingway at that time. Last Father's day, only one store got them and then it was only one box of each line. Father's Day is June 18th.

I believe the release has already begun. My B$M had a number of boxes of Opus X's on display last week.

Opus come out a few times a year. I usually see them 4 times a year, with March being the first release of the year, then in June, October and December. But maduro Hemingways will only show up 2 times a year; in June and December.

huh, didnt know where were multiple release dates for these. Damn so much to track, so little time.

My supplier says new stock will be shipped to them early April. Not sure if this has anything to do with father's day, two months later.

Two shops here just got OpusX in again on a re-stock and the other 2 I go to keep them all year round.Anejo's lasted until 3 weeks ago,which he said is odd for those cigars as they usually go by January.He limits 2 per customer on opus and anejo's and some other rare sticks.He says because him,his two brothers and the other workers smoke only OpusX.

He always has woam's as well but the other shops that carry them do not keep them as often.I should be getting a few woam's from Bobalouie who lives close to the shop and goes there on fridays.Looking foward to this cigar again.Because I live too far to hit up this shop the 2 cigar/person doesnt apply to me,the shop owner would also do phone order for me.Now that is some great customer relations.

Hemingway maduro is nice.

Certain shops throught the US seem to get more Fuente products than most but have a more special relationship so they are allowed more product then anyother shop. Opus is coming out about 5 x's a year it seams now but the Anejo's are only like said at Christmas and Fathers day. Some of the BTL, WOAM and WOAN is like the Anejo's only 2x's a year for %95 of the stores unless they have the special relationship.

Our shop receives 24 boxes of Opus a year as an Opus account.6 boxes 4 times a year. Anejos and Hemi maduros we receive 2 times a year, Fathers day and Christmas. Last year our Fathers day shipment (as well as many other B&M's in our region) was lost to the Casa Fuente opening. Some stores who have had Opus accounts much longer than others receive additional or larger shipments of the maduros and anejos. I'm pretty sure the Opus allotment is standard though.

Part of the reason some of you may see Opus at times when there seem to be none is the fact that some shops only display one or two boxes at a time, limiting the number of sticks per person. Doing this allows the supply to be rationed so it appears that a shop has Opus in stock all the time. Another reason could be that some of these retailers dont have the market for Opus, or dont create a market for Opus, such as not introducing new customers to the product or down playing it to people who dont know any better.

Our policy is to display all our Opus and such with no limits on the product. Therefore they usually dont last very long at all.
