First Opus X---I Think Im in Love
 
Well I finally had my first Opux X and it was absolutely fantastic. Everything about it was great; the burn, the draw, the flavors, the construction. I am not a big cigar reviewer, as I do not have a whole lot of expirence, but I do now understand why these are expensive and so well liked. This cigar capped off a great day that included great scenery, great crawfish, and a great wife!

I can say that I've never met an Opus I didn't like. :D

You will find a few Opus haters in the asylum... but I'm not one of them!

Now... I love them at MSRP - but I shy away from huge mark-ups. I do really enjoy them, though.

I am smoking some I have kept for a couple of years and they are NICE. Glad you had such a great day. :tu

We are having a Herf in Jacksonville in May, and DrHalle will be there. I think I will bring it and smoke it there.:tu

Glad you enjoyed it. I like them with some age on them and close to MSRP. Just wait until you try an Anejo.

You know James I have a few of these but still haven't smoked any yet. I'll finally have to try one when my spring month long cold goes away. Nice stinky ;) and that's a huge ash!

how long do you guys normally let the Opus X sit before you partake in them?

I have been lucky enough to pick up 9 of them in the past week and was wondering how long they should sit before lighting them up?
