That's the spirit! I love Opus and would hate to see you get turned off of them from one bad experience.

also, it's true that they can improve with age but the fact that it's fresh shouldn't have any effect on the draw or burn. you just got a dud.

as far aging cigars, I with you there too. People say the same thing about Cubans, but I don't buy cigars to sit on them. I buy with the expectation that I should be able to smoke them right away. There are benefits to aging, I just don't have the patience and bank account to do so.

Wow! Opus X A.
Can't possible imagine if I could be conscious nearly 3 hours later.
