Opus Disappointment

[Boss Hogg]

Okay, so I have been buying some Opus' here and there from time to time, and decided maybe I should fire up my first Opus ever. I reached in the humi with my grimy little hands and pulled out a Petit Perfection. This little guy has been nestled up in there since last July (not a long time time but what the hell)

I go to clip the head and try a pre lite... not bad can sense some spiciness to it. I go to brake out the trusty matches and toast this bad boy when all of a sudden...... nothing

This thing would not lite. The outer wrapper would not catch. Nothing would work. I start thinking well crap maybe its too wet. But this is the same humi that every other cigar is in and they all have smoked wonderfully this weekend. Needless to say I finally break out a lighter and puff the hell out of it while lighting it. Yuck... butane odorless taste (I know an oxymoron).

Anyway, it starts going and it didn't taste very good at all. Finally the middle would burn but that was about it... and only for a few short seconds. Can the Opus really be that wet in the cello's. I know my humi is consistent at 65rh. Anyone else know Opus cigars to be really well. Is this the case with them or maybe just a fluke problem. As I have said early this was my first Opus ever, so I'm definitely not the expert on them. Most likely human error on my part
