The celebration begins
 

A 2005 Opus X Scorpio and a generous pour of Macallan 18. The cigar had a free pre light draw and produced copious smoke on the light. Cedar, white pepper and light coffee flavors at first.

I live for my Friday night cigar and liquor time. Enjoy that Opus Sir! sounds like you earned it. (and maybe a few more) :tu

Re: The celebration begins
 

MMMMM!
Sounds great! I'm smoking as well!

Re: The celebration begins
 

As time goes on, the stick is going strong. I find it to be full flavoered with full body but medium strength and very retrohale friendly. Cedar is prodominent and it exhibits the character of a 5 year old puro from Fuente. It's delicious.

Sweet! Makes me want to open up my Opus Shark :tu

Re: The celebration begins
 

that really strong cedar flavor is what keeps me coming back to the Opus.

Re: The celebration begins
 

FYI, The Mac 18 is too complex for this cigar and is overpowering it's mellowness, I am switching to Balvenie Doublewood. Also, I took the bands off and two chunks of wrapper came off too.Not happy, but it's still delicious

Congratulations Scott and Enjoy!

So you got the job?

Re: The celebration begins
 

Sounds tasty! Sucks about the wrapper. Happens to me all too often.

Re: The celebration begins
 

Yup!

My phone died so no more pics but I had the pleasure of speaking with my friend Don troughout the majority of the second half of the stick and it was great. Paired with the doublewood i feel the nuancces are more easily pronounced as they are not overpowered. Cedar, espresso and leather at this point are dominant. The cigar kicked up a notch in the strength category and is smoking great. I think the doublewood pairing was spot on and am happy about the decision. Ill be heading to bed after this to celebrate with the wife so good night my friends..........and thank you again.
