strikethebox7 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Where is this place? If you're near Weston, FL, you might want to try Smoke On The Water, its in the Weston Town Center.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThis was on the strip in clearwater beach. It was really a cool place, nice selection of some good NC sticks, no cutting fee if you bring your own, just need to spend at least 20 bucks at the bar, highly recommend it. Thanks for the tip might check out that other spot!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc2001 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Recently starting to collect Sharks and try'em as they age. But this one was "Fresh". Anyone have input how worthwhile this process is with these?For the money (~ $25/single) I think you can do much better IMPO. You can almost get 2 boxes of just about any regular production Pyramid for the cost one of Opus Shark. But if that is what tickles your taste buds then waste no time smoking anything else, life is too short to smoke cigars you don't like.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOM'$ Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I've been able to purchase these at ~ $16-17 each so the price point seemed reasonable.

Popular Post eswary Posted February 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2017 '12 Lusi and an afternoon read. Not sure on the box code as these were gifted material from many moons ago. 100% the lightest shade wrapper I've ever seen on any Party, I'll be honest I wasn't excited about them. But this bad boy is well constructed and loaded with flavor. Love a good surprise. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eswary Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Sometimes... what the heck. Local. (first time in years!)If you're going to smoke NC...might as well be the best IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 25 I walk Yeah, the original Anejo 77, and the Cameroon Sand Shark (both with a white strip on the label) are a bit cheaper than the OpusX Shark, I guess the label adds $5-6 for some reason. There is also the Don Carlos Shark, which has a black strip on the label. The DC sharks are quite rare, they can fetch big $$. Then you have the Opus X Perfexcion Shark, which is crazy expensive @ $35-$45/single. If your intent is to hoard and then resell, these would be a very good choice, they will fetch good premiums. As for aging, I think the Anejos lose something with extensive aging. Remember, Anejo wrappers are allegedly aged in Cognac barrels for ~5 years so they get some of the flavoring and aroma from that, but if you age them as singles they may lose some of their unique aromatics. I don't know. I aged multiple Fuentes, Anejos and DCs for up to 15 years in cellophane wrappers, and I didn't find them very tasty, but then I was never a big fan of Fuente, so I'm certainly not an authority on that topic. In the end I ended up selling a bunch of 15-year old Fuente badged cigars (inlcluding some Opus) and used the money to buy twice as many CCs more suited to my liking. It all comes down to what you prefer. If you like the Sharks now, then I'm sure you'll enjoy them with age too. I read lots of raving reviews on the Cigar Family lounge about them, so obviously they have a good following. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOM'$ Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Very good information. I'll read up more on these and appreciate your input. See the wrapper possibly having diminishing returns like you said. All this while building up CC's for the coming years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knilas Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I just don't get what all the fuss is about with this marca... Great burn/ construction/ aroma....No flavor. Still not sold on Cohiba. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 25 I walk Anejo Sharks can be had for $13/stick with a little effort - that makes them a decent value. It's my favorite AF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nekhyludov Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Relaxed this afternoon with a little Tolstoy and a RyJ Churchill (PLA NOV 14), followed by a Monte Edmundo (MUL JUL 15). The Eddys, for some reason, became the cigar I reach for when I'm studying or working - when I want something pleasant that I don't really have to pay much attention to. Then I smoked one yesterday when I didn't have anything else going on, and I was really surprised by how great it was. Fresh greens and nut flavors, perfect burn and draw. Really worth savoring!

I only get subtle Party flavors with a ton of ammonia. I certainly had high hopes, but they just aren't playing out the way I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
