Maduro Mix-up With Opus22

The Fuente Fuente OpusX BBMF Maduro

There's a cigar missing from the recent Fuente Fuente OpusX Opus22 release -- but it's going to be replaced.
The Opus22, released by Prometheus International Inc. and Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia., was supposed to include a maduro Fuente Fuente OpusX BBMF, a huge figurado with a moptop head and a maduro wrapper. But due to a packing error in Santiago, the boxes went out absent the rare maduro.
"It was just an honest mistake," said Carlos Fuente Jr., president of Fuente. "Originally there was not going to be a maduro," and the cigars were packed according to prior plans. But due to a mix-up, the boxes were packed with two BBMFs in regular wrappers, instead of one natural and one maduro as was reported. "Everyone will get their cigar," said Fuente.
To get the missing BBMF Maduro, Prometheus said consumers should contact the tobacconist they purchased the cigars from. "Prometheus will ship the replacement BBMF Maduros to its retail dealers," said the company.
Opus22 has been around since 2004. Each holiday season, 500 boxes of Opus22 are shipped to retail tobacconists in the United States, Asia and Europe. Net profits from the project go to help underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic.
