Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

Note to self,
Never buy anymore Opus X too inconsistent.

Especially for the price.

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

I agree 100% I'm not qa fan of the opus x, ill take a padron over it any day.

Knip.

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

It sucks I got a good one, so I bought more. But after hearing of the wild inconsistency and smoking a dud. I'm not going to bother spending the $$$ on them.

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

Yeah. For about the same price you can get a Nice Ashton VSG, and they are very consistent. I love the VSG, the last couple i have had, had a slight hint of pumpkin spice. IT WAS AMAZING.

For the price and something similar, I like Diamond Crown Maximus :tu

Knip.

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

+1, love the VSGs had one today and it was great! :D

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

HAHA Yea Thats exactly what I was doing when I Smoked it. :D

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

This sure shows our differences in tastes, I love them and with the exception of a couple green ones I have been loving them, I am buying all I can as I can afford them at MSRP..

It would be boring if we all liked the same thing wouldn't it. :)

There are many cigars out there people love that I simply cant stand either. Great thread!

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

A '95 Opus? Considering they were first released in '96, how did you manage that? Was this a pre-release stick?

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

I haven't found Opus prices to differ much from other boutique cigars.

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

Some people just love to hate Opus, just like the Yankees.
Mostly because Opus was 1st to the dance of ultra premium
nc`s. Because no one before Fuente had made an all Dominican
cigar, now they all copied him. LFD, Davidoff, Aurora, etc.
Did anyone notice all the other cigars on this page are made by Fuente,
for others to put their bands on.
I smoke Opus because its unique for me, flavor, dependability.

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

It is made by Fuente, kind of like a regular production Opus. Some have even speculated it is the same blend. :tu

Re: Opus X ... Am I Missing Something
 

I have always found them to be very strong young but amazing when aged.
They tone down to just the right point after a few years.

I was just handed a very aged Churchill size (don't know them well enough) by a good friend and will probably light it up in the next few days or over the weekend.
Doubt very much I will be disappointed.
