Default Re: Worst Opus I've Ever Had

i picked one up a few weeks ago when i went in and bought my "xmas gifts to myself" cause the owner of the b&m gave it to me under msrp. (i bought a opus tin, 2 viejos, 3 shark 77, opus A coffin and 6 other mixed opus sizes along with about 10 other sticks) needless to say alot of money spent that day.

mines gonna sit for about a year and a half before i destroy it in a series of small fires

I can't justify the price point on Lost City, but
Holts had some OpusX Magnum O yesterday.

I haven't heard of the Magnum O before, but it
was a large ring gauge, maybe a double robusto.
Possibly a 60 rg robusto size. Longer than a Nub.

I smoked one, and brought the other home to rest.
It was very good. Also picked up the last Puddycat
in the display case.

Lots of WOAMs at msrp, but I cleaned out their Hemi
Signature Rosados instead.

No limits on anything, including Anejos, which is unusual for Holts.

4 3/4 x 54

About the same size as a Diamond Crown No. 5

I have to agree with you, the Lost City was a WASTE. I kept thinking, "this thing has GOT to get better." Sadly, it didn't.

I was primed to buy a box, but will be spending that money elsewhere.

Most definitely correct. I know that the cigars I like are not necessarily the most popular ones everybody else likes. And, I know that I do not enjoy some of the smokes that some others think are fantastic

You going to be at the game tomorrow?

Will you be at Titletown on Monday later afternoon/evening? Was thinking of coming by and hanging out for MNF.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Todd I'll be DJ'ing the tailgate party at Brett Favres Steakhouse pregame, then I have to go to work at Time Warner Cable till midnight. My normal work hours are 1:30pm to 10:30pm so I won't be able to be at Titletown for MNF.

Enjoy a good one for me while you're there though!

We will hook up at some time.

Maybe I'll stop by at the tailgate party. Is that an outdoor thing? Is it at the Steakhouse? Or...???

Steakhouse, outdoors. By the way, I think last Monday was the last MNF for the year.
