Title: Info wanted: Uptown Cigars, Kingston, NY
Post by: BlackIrish on 09/16/2008 12:44 PM
Saw an offer on Opus X from this retailer (www.uptowncigar.com).  Seem legit but I thought I'd check.  Anyone familiar with them?  

Thanks in advance.

If that is legit, it is a good deal.  The 3 Opus X cigars would cost that much alone.  If I had $75 and room, I'd jump all over that.

There is some good information about them with a google search. They are authorized dealers for a few major brands such as la flor dominica. I have a hard time believing it is a hoax then but it might be a very limited deal. I am considering giving them a call as well.

I never had an Opus X so I thought I would give them a try. Figure the 75 bucks gets me the 3 Opus X and the rest are tossed in for the ride.

Seems like a pretty decent deal.
