How long should I let a new Opus rest?
I've recently acquired a couple of Opus Fuente Fuentes. Having never had one of these before I'm tempted to smoke one now and let the other one rest but I have the feeling from reading other opinions that I will be much better suited laying them down.
What say ye experienced Opus smokers? |

I prefer them fresh but most like them better after 3 - 5 years. I say smoke one now and then smoke one in a few years so you will know which you prefer.

Re: How long should I let a new Opus rest?
Since you're new to them, I say smoke one now and see what you think. Everything changes with some age, you might like them better now. I remember when I started smoking, I liked them better new, but that was also when they were new themselves, 1997, 1998. I think they changed, and I found I liked them better with age after that. Now I don't like them at all.....as I said, everything changes with age

I would definitely smoke them now. Some people like them fresh. If I were to age them, and I age ALL of mine, then I would say they get real nice right around the 3 year mark. I have had some '05s that are just damn good! One of the best smokes I have had! |

Re: How long should I let a new Opus rest?
i've smoked all of this years sizes besides the A's and the double coronas. they were all very good. i have some DC's on the way and will see if they are as good as previous releases.
honestly i say cigars are for smoking. smoke them, bomb someone and maybe keep one or so to age to see if you like it. |

Re: How long should I let a new Opus rest?
Picked up my first ones last month and hopefully I'll have enough to age them over a couple of years while smoking a few along the way.

Re: How long should I let a new Opus rest?
Since you have more than one I would smoke one now and then age the other for at least a year, compare the two giving you an idea if you like them fresh or with some age on them for future reference.

Re: How long should I let a new Opus rest?
Hold out as long as you can before smoking one (yea, right!)
I like em fresh (bold & sassie) and with 2+ years on em (matured & nuanced),but as always I say experiment and find out what you like!

Re: How long should I let a new Opus rest?
What's an Opus X?
Just kidding! I like to hide 'em so I won't be tempted to smoke 'em. Then when 5 or so years go by I pull one out and pat myself on the back for having great willpower. Put one away for a long time, you'll be glad you did.
