Thanks so much for the honest review! It's great to get honest opinions on over-hyped cigars.
I still haven't tried the Opus X. It's so interesting that people's opinions on these are absolutely all across the board. Also, it seems from what I've heard that this is one of the lines where vitola really matters--and there are so many freakin' sizes!
If I could find them near me I'd be tempted to try one if it was close to retail, but from what I hear most places charge 2x retail or more. It's hard for me to consider paying so much for some cigars that so many think are over-hyped--especially when the Tat Blacks are being re-released soon at $14 and I know I LOVE those! I never pay that much for a cigar, but I think I'll be making a special exception for the Blacks
