Had my 1st Opus X

[Swif]

This weekend I had my 1st Opus X at Casa Fuente in Las Vegas. A great smoke. a little strong with a great spice kick. I would say a "V" cut for me on these sticks.

I also ran out of time to go back on sunday to pick up a box of house sticks. Shame on me!

Congrats on your 1st :tu

[darkninja67]

congrats. I love them with a lot of rest on them. They become stellar.

[fatdog]

had one with about a year of rest on it last week. It was outstanding. A little more mellow than I remember but worth the wait. I need to get a couple more for resting purposes. I have a Casa Fuente resting as well, how do they compare I have never had a casa before?
Peace

If you got your first Opus at Casa Fuente you paid dearly for it! I have been there and it's a great shop but the prices are very high! Still, when in Rome... -(P

Therein lies the Opus conundrum, I buy as many as I can afford at a time, usually 5 or 6, then smoke them randomly when I crave them and never have any that reach full aging potential.

SWEET, everyone always remembers their first... :tu

[smokepuff]

Nice, I'll try one of those when I can find one at a discounted price ;)

[Fordman4ever]

I just bought my first at my local B&M. $18. Is this a reasonable price? Probably gonna let it sit till next spring/summer. I might go back and get another one just to smoke so i know what some age does to them. Can't wait for my first!!

Sounds like it's a little over MSRP, but how much depends on the vitola.

Which one was it?

BTW - my recommendation, smoke it, then, IF you like it, go back to buy one to age. :2

I have yet to smoke one but I have a few with 6+ years of age on them.

What are you waiting on, Captain Delayed Gratification? :)

Should have smoked them at the three year mark.

:r 6 years should make for a good experience with an Opus. I couldn't wait that long, but I bet it will have been worth it.:dr

same here. I always make a point to buy 5 or 10, but have never been able to age any. The only one in the humi that is over a year old is a shark, and it's so pretty I don't know if I'll ever be able to torch it.

Ill smoke one tomorrow and ill let you know. Actually in two weeks when the next Jungle Jims cigar tasting ill bring one for you.

[Patrick B]

Excellent. Aaron had proven to be a wonderful addition to our Jungle's VIP table, as evidenced above!

Gonna smack him back with something good. Hmmm...

[tx_tuff]

To address the Opus and Casa comparison - they are two completley different cigars. They both taste great and are well constructed, but to me the Opus is a spicier and more in your face, even with a year on them, the Casa is still strong, but the spice is not pepper, more cinnamon/nutmeg. Casa Fuentes remind me of the holidays and was actually my go to nice smoke this past holiday season. Both are great smokes, IMO but I prefer the Casa hands down (which is unfortunate, since they are about 2x as much).

[Patrick B]

Thanks, Daniel. I have a few friend in Vegas now. I hope they aren't too drunk to forget to bring me one back!
