As for the flavor, sometimes it's hard for a cigar's flavor to compete with all the hype I was fortunate enough to have a FIL give me plenty of Opus before I even knew what they were. Therefore I wasn't consumed with all the opus hype. However, I have a about 10 CCs in my humi that I, and many others, have hyped up. Hopefully I'm not let down.

YEP and YEP !

AF cigars as a whole are tight little buggers sometimes, especially the smaller RG cigars.

The hype has people believing these are the holy grail, when they are indeed a good cigar, but not "The One".

I do smoke them, like them but if given the choice between an Opus and a Diamond Crown Maximus, the DCM wins every time
