    I just got mine in the mail today. My reading comprehension must suck. I didn't realize they came in a pack of 3. I ordered 2 and got 6. lol Very nice looking openers. Nothing over the top, but sharp nevertheless.

    They came in sets of 3? Surely that was a mistake.

    Good on you! That almost has to be a mistake though. That would be pricing them below their cost.

    Ok. My bad. I just checked my invoice. I ordered 3, and got 6. Still...I got 3 in one padded envelope, and 3 in the other.

    Also...it should be noted, if you log on to the Cigar City website and go to accessories, the bottle openers don't appear to be available. However if you go to the following link, http://cigarcitybrewing.com/product/leon-barrel-yopener/ , it takes you straight to the item. However, it appears as though there's a message that states "You can only purchase this item No Restriction times" where there should, or was, a button that you clicked on to add to your cart. Not sure what that means. Perhaps this was available to El Cat members only as well?

    I really regret not buying one of those Leon openers when I had the chance

    So I got on the site, logged in to my El Cat page, and was now able to order one. I swear I wasn't able to a few days ago. Probably my user error and hopefully not more CCB tech issues

    I am not el cat and was able to find them via the link posted above (I went through that link from the Yopeners fb page.)

    Shipping was quick. Still instock as of this post.

    @GoinDownSwingin He makes a profile - uses the bottle opener as his avatar and then brags about a double shipment of a product that benefits a family impacted by Autism. Kinda a douche move. Seems like his account is no longer active or was banned.

    No biggie here - I'm the guy that makes YOpeners with my son- CIgar City bought all of those so it would really only affect their bottom line. I just have to make sure I don't double ship or the boy will withhold it from my pay.

    Seriously though, I'm very grateful for the amazing support the beer community has shown me and my son. We can barely keep up with orders lately and the messages of support have been pretty humbling - not to mention the over $8000 my LIF raised for the Autism Center of Tulsa. It's been fun.

    Thanks for the update. A+ products from A+ people make the decision easy.

    Now I just need to find a bottle of Leon to open with my new opener.

    @jtmiller03 It is a beautiful product. I was just wondering if you are free handing all of the woodburning or if you are using a brand of some sort.

    I have a branding iron that I frequently use for my logo. For custom logowork like thiese, I have a guy that laser engraves for the most consistent results.
