Is Opus X really "all that"?

Give them a few years, and the answer is yes. Fresh, they can be rather harsh in my esperience. Definitely not an everyday stick, but if you can hold on to them and get a few years of age, they make a fantastic 'special smoke'

Even "fresh" Opus have been aged for 3 years from Fuente. I find this age statement just a tad in accurate...
Just my opinion...

I love Opus and when I first started smoking them, I didn't know any better about buying them. We have 1 local B&M on Island and it's the # 1 travel destination in the US again. $$$$$

I was in Singapore in May. Found a shop at the Hyatt and he had a full box of Opus #4's and wanted $2000.00 US for the box. Did I buy, no.

Do some home work and figure out where to buy Opus if you like Opus, I did.

I wondered about this too since the conventional wisdom seems to be that Opus' are best when laid down for a few years. A little extra age couldn't hurt, but I would think they should very smokeable right off the truck.

I do mlike them "off the truck", but a little age seems to make a difference. My .
