I'd take an 858SG or an 858R over an Opus X any day.

Not that I dislike the Opus X, I just liked those two more. Despite the Opus having a cooler looking band.

I'd generally agree with you, especially with 858sg which is one of my favorite smokes. However, Opus with some age can be pretty damn good.

True, true. The 858SG and the 858R both age wonderfully too though.

It all comes down to personal tastes. All of the aforementioned are certainly quality cigars.

I bought a box of the XXX Opus when my 15 yr old was born and I smoked my last one two years ago and it was incredible. I could kick myself for not sticking to the one cigar a year.

Haha, yes we all do that, I'm sure. Opus, when they're on are some of my favorite smokes.
