I recently fired up an Opus X Double Corona while vacationing at the beach. I enjoyed the stick while sitting on an ocean front balcony which added to the enjoyment. I thought the cigar had good spice which increased as the cigar burned and during the majority of the smoke with some light creamy notes. I thought that it didnt have the full bodied nature that is usually reported, but after smoking about 3/4's I found myself really feeling the effect of the cigar and it came on in a hurry. If you have one in your humi, it may be advisable to enjoy it after a good hearty meal. I believe I waited to long to fire it up after I had dinner. Overall I think it was a decent smoke but the price point is a bit steep, but a stick every aficianado should try atleast once.

I have a XXX in the humi. Can't wait to fire it up, just waiting for a special occasion.

If I remember correctly after you smoked yours you made the switch to smoking nothing but cigarillos from here on out!

the opusx sneaks up on you that's for sure. I really didn't think the cigar was all that strong but the power ranger is a bit strong. I had one after breakfast a few months ago and it paired well with my coffee. I've been dying to try one of my forbidden x's.

FAV. Smokes are in my Profile....Reviews

The Opus are strongest right out of the shipment. The older they get, the more mellow they become. You really need to decide if you want the strength or the enhanced flavors that come with saving them.

i start to enjoy opus after a good year+ in the humidor. any fresher than that and it just isnt right.

Is that for any Opus ? I have a couple resting -one less than 6 months one about 6 weeks. I have given them out in games but have yet to smoke one, would you say to get the correct experience it should set a while ...what did you find the differences to be in them smoking fresh (6 mos or less) versus over a year? Thanks in advance for the help.

If i get another one, I am definitely going to age them for a min of a year or 2.

"Long ashes my friends"

These are by far my favorite smokes...as good as they are to me out of the box, they only get better with age. I have had a humidor devoted to opus' aging some for 2 years some for 6 months. I have an A that is awkwardly sitting diagonal in the humidor that has been in there for almost too long. itching to try it but patience is virtue. The wait will be worth it i hope. Im looking at picking up one of the anniversary boxes, just need to convince myself to drop the dough. I wouldnt mind having 30 of em aging and have the last one when i turn 30, that would be somethin :) i doubt i could hold off that long though.

its all personal taste. i just feel that they taste a bit too fresh when they first come out. smoke one fresh and age one. youll see the difference. i can see how others would like em right off the truck... i just dont prefer them that way .

"A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images" - George Sand, 1867

I got mine at my B&M for 19.99 which is pretty good considering the usual mark up. They sold out in a hurry though. I'll keep an eye out for you though.

Thanks, yea i know the dates when the b&ms around me get them in and i usually rush in and buy a bunch but unless its christmas or fathers day or something they usually dont. drapers usually carrys those awesome opus tins for 25 bucks. I am going to buy all that i can when christmas is about to arrive.
