opus x smokers...
 
Has anyone ever had a opus that was plugged or burned uneven? I personally was just curious...

In the 100+ I have smoked, I never had one plugged or that burnt unevenly.

Never plugged but eneven burns do happen . Biggest let down of a cigar I ever had was an Opus X "A" , wouldn't stay lit and burned really uneven . I'll never pony up for another one , the "A" that is .

I have smoked many an Opus-X, of all sizes. I have never had a plugged Opus-x, however, I have had a few, where the draw was a little tight, but very manageable. As far as burn issues, I have had more than a few, over the years, but nothing real crazy!

I've probably smoked 10 or so all the different sizes and none of them had draw problems and half of them were probably a little "too loose".

I've smoked a handful, maybe 10 or so. Draw was always spot on. Never had a problem staying lit. I'd say 2/10 had uneven burns. One was fresh, and while that isn't an excuse for an uneven burn, it couldn't have helped. The other was smoked on the golf course and the wind may have been a factor.

I find them to be impeccably constructed like everything fuente. That being said, I don't find the quality control on the Opus to exceed their other lines. Really, it's too bad that the opus doesn't excel on quality control, but I guess when the strong point of your regular lines is quality, it's hard to top that.

I have smoked at least 30 Opus Cigars,,,every single one of them had no draw problems and they burned really well,,,,some better than others but overall I never experienced a cigar that had better taste, burn or draw. Is it any wonder why they are so popular?

I've probably only smoked 6 or so, but no burn issues and definitely not plugged.

I've had one with a "tight" draw, but no problem smoking it (not plugged, just a bit tight). I've also had a few with burn issues. I've smoked at least 70 Opus... so, a few problems ain't bad. I love everything Fuente!!

I've smoke many Opppies and most all burn just fine. The condition you and others experience can either be from over humidification or simply a counterfeit Opus X.

Or the fact it is a handmade product so there are bound to be bad ones here and there. :ss

I have only smokes a hand full of Opus, but I have never had any problem with the burn or draw.

I've never encountered an Opus that was plugged or had an uneven burn. The Fuentes I've smoked have always had a razor sharp burn. Their rollers do a great job. :tu

Never plugged or tight.
Off burn on one or so, yeah, but nothing terrible at all.

Never tried one, heard they are good, but at my b&m they are like 60 bux - no.
