I am an Opus whore (100 sticks) when it comes down to it. FFOX were hyped to high hell when they first came out and still garner some attention with the holiday release and new vitolas.

Personally I will take a 3-5 year old Opus over any cigar if placed in front of me. They can be very complex with some vitolas. They smoke pretty good ROTT but become stellar with age.

The one thing Opus has on any other cigar IMO is the smell of the wrapper. Nothing else smells like it. Raisins, cinnamon, and sometimes molasses. Such a great smell.

I tend to pick them up close to MSRP so they are not a bad deal. Some vitolas I seek out more than others. I tend to like the smaller Opus in general.

Anejos I like a lot too but do not smoke them as much as the FFOX.
