Brian, what Adam said up there is a biggie. While everything in this thread that's been suggested goes to your taste, Opus does not. I'm not at all saying "don't try Opus", because you should. It just doesnt fall in your taste profile (from what you mentioned), and you may not like it. I personally don't care for Opus, although I enjoy lots of Dominican Puros.
The guys suggested lots of Nicaraguan Puro maduros, which is what I like. I think most guys do, they're really a "can't miss" smoke.
If you can't find the Anejo or the Padron Anniversary sticks, the Padron maduro thousand (x000) series is especially good and very affordable, meaning you're very likely to enjoy any of that series, and they're widely available.
The only reason I blathered on is because I don't want you to choose an Opus as your special stick and be let down. I think it'd be best to try it another time, you may well love it, as most guys do. The odds are stacked in the favor of the other sticks the guys mentioned, though.
I hope your quest goes well, and I sure hope you score something you like!!!
