The Opus X lineup is pretty :dr but very pricy. I think my tax return = a box of Opus X. These look good, you lucky bastids!

My only problem with Opus is I need to lay them down 2-3 years before I enjoy them.:(

Yep, that's the problem I have with most Fuentes, actually. The Anejo = boring for me until at least a year for the 46, more for the rest. Then they get really good. After about 4 years, they are epic and my favorit maduro aside from the Padron 40th. The Opus are very similar for me in term of age. I was lucky enough to trade for some from '01-'03 and the 3 I've had so far have been amazing!

Although I find the need to age for years annoying, I now buy cigars for that purpose when I know they are going to be really good, like these.

How depressing----I need to let it rest for another 3 plus years to get that famous taste everyone speaks of. Not sure if I'll be able to wait-- :)

The measurements are 5.5 X 52 so I guess it is a Beli....-(P

That's what I just read and saw--Thanks!

Thats funny, most places are the opposite. Will your B&Ms sell them with the dress boxes? Cause I am dying for a box of Opus PL (32ct) in the lacquered dress box.
