I had a Opus X Lost City over the summer and it was like smoking a chocolate biscotti... so freaking good. Worth the money? Probably not... but that depends on how much money you have. I got mine on Cbid...

I've had one and it just didn't do it for me. I would give it another shot but can't find any B&M's around me that have them and I dont really wanna pay 4x mark up online for something I may not enjoy.

No, and I don't care how many years they have on 'em.

Some are good, some are bad. IMO they need age.

I also find them WAY too pricey for what they are.

That said, I haven't had the Lost City Opus X. Those are probably better, or at least different. They also carry an even higher price tag.

I'm with Jason, give me a $5 Boli PC.

I have only had one and it stewed me beyond belief, I look forward to aging a couple.

If anybody in the Lehigh Valley, PA needs some I know of a small B&M.

Well worth them if you can find them at a decent price, which is easier said than done. And like most cigars, they really smoke well with some age. Emerson's seems to have good prices and I have ordered from them in the past with no problems!
