Default Opus X Perfecxion #5

Size:4 7/8 x 40
Origin: Dom. Republic
Wrapper: Shade grown
Filler: Dom. Rep
Strength: Med/Full Body
Smoke Time: 1:10
Cutter: Xicar (first cap)


Draw was perfect, although the burn needed a few touch ups. Only aged a month in my 65% coolidor, the #5 like so many other Opus X I have smoked before, really needs more time. Great initial flavors of aged tobacco, sweet earthy notes, maybe some vanilla, with nice smoke output. Very smooth cigar, but lacked a little (not sure what) on the back end. Ash held on almost to the band in true Fuente form, and I got a nice little buzz as the strength picked up from medium body to full towards the end. Great little smoke that I look forward to revisiting in a year or so (18 left in my humidor). Would I recommend this cigar? Yes if the price is right, as this is one of my favorite vitolas.
