First Opus I have ever had.
Had a great weekend. Hung out with friends in NYC, ate good, smoked cigars,etc. My wife and I had a weekend without kids and decided to use it to our advantage totally. Had a great Friday and relaxed all day Saturday drinking bourbon and laying around the house. Sunday came and after the Giants AND the Raiders (my afc team) won, I cooked up some monster burgers and we had some drinks and hung out. Around 9pm, I decided to open a nice Bordeaux and an Opus X. I got this one in a Holt's sampler and it is my very first one.

Great prelight smell but the draw was very loose. Toasted it up and was met initially by a toasty bitter flavor that lasted for the first inch of the smoke.After that, hints of vanilla and ceder with som nutty spice to it. The draw was still a bit loose but the firther i got in the stick,the more substantial the plumes of smoke got.

About two inches in theash dropped,the cigar lost it's bitterness and was now burning with some whited pepper,toasted nut and a lot of ceder and woodiness. the smoke got more intense and left a sweet aftertaste on my lips and tip if the tongue.

All in all this was a great smoke and a nice way to end a great weekend. Thanks for listening.
