I think some of the debate centers around where the cigar world has headed over the last decade. There has been a steady progression toward stronger and stronger cigars with a lot of pepper. While I do appreciate some of these cigars, I think for some it has led to them not finding cigars without a lot of strength and pepper boring. While Opus is a strong cigar, most of the good Fuente stuff is a lot more medium in body and strength but in my opinion, with a lot of flavor. I think that just doesn't do if for a lot of people who love stronger stuff. I love Fuente stuff (esp 858 sungrown, Anejo, Opus, Hemingway) and cuban cigars largely because they don't try and overpower you.
