First Opus X---I Think Im in Love

WildBlueSooner · 04-11-2009, 07:49 PM

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.

eber · 04-11-2009, 08:00 PM

I have never met an Opus

I have to get some when they come out this year

G G · 04-11-2009, 08:02 PM

I have one (a robusto) that I was gifted by DrHalle. I just haven't got around to smoking it yet.

When you feel the timing is right...smoke the hell out of it!

Looks like a great day!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing!

colimo · 04-11-2009, 08:56 PM

while i am jealous of the opus, i think i am even more jealous of the crawfish!!! i miss that from my time down there....

send me 10 lbs.....lol...i've got plenty of newspaper

SmokeyJoe · 04-11-2009, 09:27 PM

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.

Starscream · 04-11-2009, 10:25 PM

Never had one. Nice pictorial review.

karmaz00 · 04-11-2009, 10:49 PM

Ranger_B · 04-12-2009, 05:28 AM

Glad to see you liked it. Any cigar would be good with a day like that.

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

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

DPD6030 · 04-12-2009, 09:28 AM

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!

s15driftking · 04-12-2009, 09:44 AM

yep, opus is a fine cigarfor the retail price!

04-12-2009, 01:47 PM

I have been in love with Opus Cigars since 1998 and never looked back. Enjoy them every chance you get,,,BTW,,,the meals looks great. The wife and I love coming to New Orleans every year and will be coming soon right after JazzFest.

GTsetGO · 04-12-2009, 02:03 PM

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?
