Agreed on the Opus, they age great. Have some going back to 2005. I can't smoke them fresh though, way too powerful and harsh.

Exactly, good example. The Opus is such a strong cigar that when it starts out you are tasting the potential alongside a lot of harshness in the form of ammonia and esters which will dissipate with time, leaving the blend to marry in a way that it never will if smoked young.

Take a box of those and age most of them 10 years, and you have magic.

I'd venture that of all the NCs that I've aged, the short story was by far the best. After about 3 years, they get amazing.

Opus tend to be very oily and that takes some time to settle in or they smoke at a snail's pace.
