I am curious as to when that was, as I can well remember when one could not find any AFs (or for instance Ashton VSGs) at all in JRs. Yet at my last trip to the one here in Whippany I spotted VSGs, and was told Opus was on the way.

Years ago, Lew Rothman explained he would never offer anything for sale unless he had assurance he could obtain enough stock to provide for his customers' wants. So either these are getting easier for him to procure, or Altadis has convinced Lew to modify his policy.

This was almost 5 years ago or more at at stop at the store in Burlington, NC. I was surprised to see them and they were only sold as singles and two per customer. The best part was they were at MSRP.

Interesting. I expected you to say 5 months, not 5 years. Thanks for the reply.
