Opus X Petite Lancero from 2006

Nice review Alex!

I smoked an '05 tonight, and some of my experience was pretty similar:

I got quite a bit of black pepper on the retrohale, where as the flavor on my tongue was of dried fruit (maybe similar to the prune taste you had on the pre-light?). The cigar was not overly complex for me, but I did get some citrus notes (like your acidic or lemon, perhaps), and that black-cherry taste I sometimes get from an aged Opus, that might even be descrived as a fruity-mocha taste.

So....similar yet different? I enjoyed the cigar but wished for a bit more complexity. Glad you enjoyed yours.

The mocha-ish flavor was brought out SO MUCH by an IBC root beer. That is going to be my new pair with chocolate-y cigars going forward.

And I'm glad to know I wasn't just imagining the citrus-y note...it was really, really faint. But this reminds me that I have another one of these that I was meaning to smoke...
